The Delta Riggs Make Your Day Better With “Solutions”

The Delta Riggs are bringing the good vibes to your midweek with their new single “Solutions.” If this one doesn’t put a smile on your face, you might be a lost cause!

“Taking from our experiences in life, as well as that of friends and strangers alike, instead of just seeing the negatives, we wanted to write about finding the positives in situations,” the band explained. “Finding a solution through banding together with friends, lovers, family or strangers you’re yet to meet, lifting each other up and sharing the weight together.”

I hear there’s plenty more new music from the Delta Riggs on the way, so we can expect the good vibes to keep on coming this year.

The Delta Riggs and Money for Rope Band Together for Double Vision Tour

The Delta Riggs and Money for Rope are joining forces for one big tour!

The Melbourne rock acts are both in fine form after some relentless gigging. The Delta Riggs have barely drawn breath since releasing Talupo Mountain Music Vol. II in late May. The band had their launch tour, and then frontman Elliott Hammond played keys for Wolfmother at a swag of European festivals.

Money for Rope have also been pretty busy with their This Epic Tour, which saw them sharing the bill with Kingswood and Damn Terran. They whipped crowds into a frenzy at Cherry Rock and Splendour, so they’re the perfect foil for the exuberant Delta Riggs.

If you like your rock straight up, without ice, make sure you get down to the following shows. The bands will be swapping out headlining duties throughout the tour, so don’t think you can arrive late!

15 August 2012 – Beach Road Hotel, Bondi (Free)
17 August 2012 – Side Bar, Newcastle
18 August 2012 – Annandale Hotel, Sydney
19 August 2012 – Transit Bar, Canberra
23 August 2012 – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne
24 August 2012 – The Loft, Warrnambool
25 August 2012 – Karova Lounge, Ballarat
30 August 2012 – Barsoma, Brisbane
31 August 2012 – Shark Bar, Gold Coast

The Delta Riggs Back Home for Aussie Single Shows

The Delta Riggs have been far from idle since releasing their self titled EP in March.

The lads packed their bags and traveled to the United Kingdom to begin work on their debut album, which should hit stores in the middle of next year. While they were visiting the Old Dart the band worked with Martin “Youth” Glover of Killing Joke and BBC Radio’s Daniel Carter.

With some new songs under their belt, The Delta Riggs are back home to play some other big shows around the country. These include The Big Day Out on the Gold Coast, Peats Ridge Festival on the Central Coast, Brisbane’s New Years Eve celebrations at Southbank, the Rock ‘n’ Race show with The Gunners at Sydney’s V8 Supercars, and the Oxford Arts Factory’s Christmas party.

Before all that gigging they’ll also head back into the studio, this time with ARIA award winning producer Scott Horscroft. Considering his work with Birds of Tokyo, Little Red, The Presets, and Silverchair, he’s sure to bring something special to The Delta Riggs’ new single “Pretty Wasting.” The track will be available as a free download ahead of the run of summer shows, so keep an eye on the band’s website for that!

And if you want to see The Delta Riggs in the flesh, make sure you get to one of the following shows.

4 December 2010 – V8 Supercars @ ANZ Stadium, Sydney
10 December 2010 – Hard Rock Café, Surfers Paradise
12 December 2010 – Birdee Num Num, Brisbane
