We have been pumped on Delta Spirit since about Spring 2009. Check Wayne’s hype here. After a botched concert attempt in June, I finally got to see the crew perform at Webster Hall Tuesday night. They are on tour pushing their new Waits Room EP, which launched 11/16.

I expected a somewhat mellow show from the the West Coast based band, but a few songs in to their set the energy level got kicked up a few notches. The band was head banging during their instrumental solos, and the crowd was giving it right back with a few stage divers and an uninvited dude on stage with an impromptu dance that was later described and denounced by the band as ‘Skanking’ (think Mighty Mighty Bosstones…). It was hard not to get caught up in the vibe and sing (or yell) along.

Overall super fun time, so definitely check them out as they finish their tour from the East Coast back to home base in December. Tour schedule is on their MySpace.
