The Valentines, Live From Wormtown

This time wdoa.com went international with a group from Bologna, Italy. Rick Blaze invited them to the US after meeting them on tour of Europe. Members include JJ, Matt, Valentina and Mars Valentine. This was their first time playing in another country, and had gigs lined up at Lucky Dog, Ralph's, and live on WCUW. Formed around 2000, they went on to recording three CD's and played many shows and festivals in their homeland. Then, sadly in 2014, lead singer Valentina passed away unexpectedly leaving the rest of the band shocked and saddened. Their shows here were well attended leaving legendary memories behind. I am grateful to have had the chance to meet and talk to these folks, and pull the discs out every now and then to remember what a great talent Valentina was.
