Deltaphonic to release killer new video, “Liars”

Deltaphonic is a terrific young funk-blues group from New Orleans, with a new album dropping in April. This New Orleans group’s deliciously gritty sound exists in a realm of its own. Tearing through hill country blues influenced rock n’ roll, soul, and swampedelic funk, Deltaphonic infuses every note with a funky swagger.

Deltaphonic’s third album, The Funk, the Soul & the Holy Groove, blends New Orleans funk, soul, and hill country blues-influenced rock n’ roll into a deliciously gritty sound that exists in a realm of its own. The album’s ten original songs tell stories of struggle and redemption in the voice of someone who has learned hard lessons and survived to laugh about it. In fact, Deltaphonic is no stranger to hard times. They’re the kind of band that lives the songs they sing, often undergoing whatever bizarre or frightening experiences are necessary to progress down their own road. The resulting memories, coupled with songwriter Andrew T. Weekes’ obsessive dedication to capturing the hilarity and essence of life without contrived excess, make the songs on this album a force to be reckoned with.

“You’ll find a surprising depth, not just in leader Andrew T. Weekes’ compositions, but in his arrangements as well.” —Robert Fontenot (OffBeat Magazine)

The video “Liars” is amazing and shows the talents and energy of a band that is a living embodiment of Mardi-Gras ! with a home spun blues and high rev power backed R&B sound, Deltaphonic makes it Rock while staying within the realm of the Avant-guard. They also verge on a very Frank Zappa imagery, keeping it both real and surreal..

The Funk, the Soul & the Holy Groove is also the first fully-fledged realization of Deltaphonic’s musical potential, showcasing the band’s new lineup as a versatile trio with a heavy groove. In addition to core members Andrew T. Weekes on hybrid guitar and vocals, Paul Provosty (formerly of Earphunk) on lead guitar, and alternating drummers/vocalists Trenton O’Neal and Ciaran Brennan, the album also features members of some of the most notable acts in the New Orleans scene today, including backup singer Josh Kagler (The Revivalists), bassist Jerry “Jblakk” Henderson (Big Sam’s Funky Nation), and keys player Andriu Yanovski (Boogie Trio, Cha Wa).
