The Delta 72

The Delta 72 were an American alternative music band formed in Washington, D.C. in mid 1994, who later relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They created a frenetic and honest style channeling post-punk sensibilities with 1960s British Invasion R&B. Led by Gregg Foreman, The Delta 72 formed out of a desire to make music that incorporated elements of "everything from weird punk stuff to country". Their early, "bluesy punk" sound was also significantly influenced by Booker T. & the M.G.'s. The original line-up consisted of just Ben Azzara on drums and Foreman on guitar, harp and vocals. In short succession, friends Sarah Stolfa on Farfisa organ and Kim Thompson of Cupid Car Club on bass guitar were added. After the release of their first single, "On the Rocks", a joint production of Dischord and Kill Rock Stars records, they toured the United States and played regionally around the Northeast. After Ben Azzara left the group for The Capitol City Dusters, they were signed to Touch and Go Records in 1995. The line-up now consisted of Gregg Foreman on guitar, harp and vocals, Jason Kourkounis on drums, Kim Thompson on bass and vocals, and Sarah Stolfa on Farfisa organ.
