Valley Lodge is an American power pop band from New York City.

This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. (August 2014)

Valley Lodge came together when John Kimbrough, former singer-guitarist for Minnesota power pop band Walt Mink, met up with comedian/musician Dave Hill (formerly a member of bands such as Cobra Verde, and Sons of Elvis) to compare the home demos they were working on.^[2]

Joined by bass player/singer Phil Costello (Satanicide) and drummer Rob Pfeiffer (Sense Field), and inspired by bands such as Cheap Trick, Raspberries, Thin Lizzy and Big Star,^[3] they released their eponymous debut album in 2005. The album proved particularly popular in Japan, even getting a re-release with bonus tracks in 2008.^[4] The band went on to tour there in March 2009.

The band released their second album, Semester at Sea, on April 21, 2009, containing ten new songs by the band and a cover of Bob Welch's 1970s hit, "Sentimental Lady". At that time, Eddie Eyeball (2 Skinnee J's) joined the band on bass guitar/backing vocals, and Phil Costello switched to guitar.^{[citation needed]}

On October 19, 2018, the band released their fourth album, Fog Machine on Tee Pee Records.

On February 15, 2024, the band released "I Wrote a Song^[5]," the first single from their fifth album, Shadows in Paradise, followed in April by "Daylights." Shadows in Paradise was released on April 19, 2024. The album was produced by Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf, Juliana Hatfield), who would then replace John Kimbrough as the band's second guitarist.
