The Delta Riggs will treat their hometown crowd to a special preview performance of their upcoming new record Dipz Zebazios Friday 21st February at Northcote Social Club.
Inspired by adventures to bustling, international cities, The Delta Riggs channeled a different beast for their second album. Still full of swagger and fuelled with frontman Elliott Hammond’s whiskey soaked vocals, an undercurrent of experimentation, urban groove and melodies provides a more boisterous, off the cuff and tripped out party atmosphere. “It’s meant to be fun”, chuckles Hammond.
Whilst the new sounds and approaches show depth and a willingness to push their songwriting to new places, the five-piece have maintained their core elements that make them such a special live force. In line with their ethos of capturing a true moment, DZ was tracked live over three days in December, once again self-produced by the band.
Hammond admits “It’s a definite sonic shift for us” though he adds, “it’s also something that we wanted to do to challenge ourselves and in turn, those who might not expect this from the band”.
Joining the party are Melbourne trio Attols, who will set the tone for the evening with a barrage of cool-as-fuzz slacker anthems and distortion drenched hooks.
