Delta Rose

I shot Delta Rose at the Viper Room on March 11th in West Hollywood, CA.

This was my first time seeing their live show, and after checking it out, I’m a fan for life! These guys are a kick in the ass for rock and roll and will leave you wanting more after every show.

The pics are very gritty, noisy, and have a great 70′s feel to them. Even though the Viper Room is a hard room to shoot as a photographer, it’s my favorite place to shoot because of the atmosphere of pure rock and roll it has. To me, seeing Delta Rose at the Viper Room was the same experience people had seeing the Doors at the Whiskey a Go Go for the first time! Basically, you know right away that they are going to be huge force in music, and you can’t wait to see where there rock and roll adventure is going to take them.

I am looking forward to seeing their live show again, and capturing the insanity known as Delta Rose!

About Delta Rose:
Delta Rose is a young energetic Rock n Blues band from Rosemead CA. Drawing from past inspirations such as Van Halen and ZZ Top, the bands knack for eclectic yet fresh songwriting is matched only by their outrageous over-the-top showmanship.

Delta Rose started playing together as a group in 2007, though Frontman/Guitarist, Spencer Krasch, and Drummer, Mikey Herrera knew and played with each other since 2004. The band, which also includes Lead guitarist Forrest Goss and Bassist Steven Aulcy met at Rosemead High in Rosemead, CA., which is also where they played their first official gig. Soon after, they were playing parties, street festivals, small clubs and bars, and wherever else they could play.

The name Delta Rose has meaning in itself. The band practiced every day at Drummer, Mikey’s house on Delta Street. After one variation on the band name, the group settled on Delta Rose by taking the name of Delta street along with the Rose from the city Rosemead, and the rest is history. They also liked the connection of Delta, to the blues which inspired their music and a lot of the musicians they consider to be their influences.
Delta Rose just finished and released their New EP with up and coming producer Bill “BadBilly” Schleifer, and Grammy award winning Engineer/Mixer, Steven “Steve B” Baughman, and Grammy award winning Mastering engineer/Mixer Dylan “3-D” Dresdow.

Delta Rose can be seen playing in southern CA, and the surrounding region.
