Good Wrecking Tonight/Club Velocity presents... the Delta Bombers
w/ Red Hot Riot
Andrew Himmler and Chris Moinichen formed The Delta Bombers in 2008 after meeting on Myspace following Andrew's post about starting a rockabilly band in Las Vegas. They filled in the original line-up with Nicholas Lopez on drums and Oscar Chong on stand up bass.
The Delta Bombers recorded their first album "Howlin’" at Wild Records USA in Nov 2008, and it was released March 2009.
They started playing shows in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and were noticed by European promoters who began booking them European shows. Their first European show was Rockin’ At The Drive-In Barn No. 6 in Oosteeklo, Belgium on August 20, 2011.
Their follow-up album "Wolf" was recorded in 2011 at Wild Records USA and released in 2012. Wolf gained attention from the global rockabilly community as the group embarked on their first extended headlining tour in Europe, which included the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden.
Further lineup changes occurred in 2012 when Gregorio Garcia joined on upright bass and Jesse Alonzo joined on drums.
The Delta Bombers’ third album, the self-titled release The Delta Bombers, was recorded in 2014 and received accolades including a 5 star review from Germany's Dynamite Magazine.
In 2015, having previously had little traction in the US aside from southern California and their home base of Las Vegas, The Delta Bombers were invited to open for former The Descendents member Doug Carrion’s band The Black Listed on a nationwide tour. A line-up change found drummer Kirk Highberger replacing Jesse Alonzo.
Their fourth studio album Pressure and Time was released in Jan 2018 on Wild Records, and crossed over into the roots music/ Americana scenes.
Drummer Micah Malcolm joined in 2018, and was replaced in Jan 2020 with drummer PJ Franco.
