Ahead of the release of their fourth studio album later this year, The Delta Riggs are thrilled to announce they have been added to the roster of UK heavyweight agent Steve Strange (Coldplay / Eminem).
“I first caught the ‘Riggs a few years back when they played a few (North American) West Coast dates with Eagles Of Death Metal, and have kept them on my radar since then,” reflects Strange. “Once I started hearing cuts from the new record, I wanted to get involved and think EU audiences are really gonna dig this band live”.
Later this year The Delta Riggs will venture overseas to play a string of shows in Europe and UK, surrounding a special appearance at Germany’s Reeperbahn Festival. This year the festival has selected Australia as their focus country, with The Rubens, DZ Deathrays, and Olympia among the other Aussies so far confirmed.
Frontman Elliott Hammond says “The band are all in a very excited, creative and energetic headspace as we lead up to the release of the best album we have done to date. We are psyched to be getting back to Europe this September. It should be a bunch of special and long-overdue shows.”
Current single ‘Don’t You Frown’ follows previous tracks ‘Out Of Place’ and ‘Fake That’, which served as a wake-up call for an age where Insta-fame, AR, and #fakenews dominate our digital realm. This sincere approach to songwriting saw ‘Fake That’ score a high rotation add on triple j leading into a sold out national headline tour, and clock up over 400k streams on Spotify.
Follow up single ‘Out Of Place’ was also met with widespread love, gaining a rotation add on triple j and clocking up over 270k streams and counting.
The new tracks follow the band’s acclaimed 2016 album ‘Active Galactic’, featuring the hit single ‘Baddest Motherfucker In the Beehive’ which has stacked up close to 2million Spotify streams since release. The Delta Riggs have also cut their teeth on some impressive live shows, having supported Foo Fighters, Kasabian, and Primal Scream, plus performing at Splendour In the Grass, Groovin’ The Moo, and Festival of the Sun.
Despite modern pressures, The Delta Riggs have stayed true to themselves. They’ve remained busy on the road, meeting and performing for real people, listening to their stories and creating genuine connections. It’s these stories, mashed with sweat, swagger, and guitars that has influenced the band’s fourth self-produced record, due for release in 2019.
