Dellacoma Takes Niagara Falls: World Tour 2018

Dellacoma rolled up to Evening Star Concert Hall in Niagara Falls, NY on a very cold Tuesday afternoon to play the sixth show on the U.S. leg of their World Tour 2018. The unassuming venue hosted five supporting acts drawing in local music lovers who discovered what Dellacoma fans have known for years; the guys from Down Under know how to put on an extraordinary show.
The guys had already had a full day. They drove straight through the night from CT to NY for their first U.S. television appearance on Good Day Rochester. After a quick nap, they headed to Niagara Falls to load in. Then they stayed on site and checked out all five opening acts. One might assume their energy level would be a bit on the low side when it was their turn to entertain. Well, in doing so "one" admits they’ve never seen Dellacoma live. There is no low energy Dellacoma. They're fully committed to bringing high energy and maximum fun. Tonight is no different. They take the stage with zero fanfare, and then blow it up on the very first note. Dellacóma Rio (vocals) whips his body forward and back before seizing the mic and belting out the first line of “My Kind of Woman.” Jasin Todd (guitar) breaks out some classic back-bending gymnastics. The noisy bar goes briefly silent, then roars enthusiastically. Just like that, Niagara Falls is won over.
Dellacoma moves on to “Movin On to Something New” and follows with “Toys.” The interaction between these guys is always tight, but tonight “Toys” provides more camaraderie than my camera could handle. Dellacoma and Jasin stand face to face. Dell sings, Jasin watches intently, then Jasin riffs and Dell leans into him with a huge grin. Dell runs to the kit and cheers at Jarrod Medwin (drums/keyboard) before flying over to Tommy Sunset (bass) for a hug and hair tousle. The obvious tightness of this new lineup is not lost on the crowd. Grins galore pass from the stage to the attendees.
Next up is a rousing cover of “Let Me Out,” by Australian band (and Dellacoma friends) Electric Mary. Fans of both bands across the world got to witness it via Facebook Live. If you missed out, press play to see this and new song “Vampires (A Cautionary Tale).” It’s a rare treat. Devour it.

Dellacoma Live from Niagara Falls

We’re not even midway through the set and I’m exhausted from watching them give themselves entirely to the performance. The other bands and their fans are all against the stage. They cheer and move through the next five songs. When Dellacoma closes with “Til We All Belong,” (their new song recorded just last week at Dark Horse Recording Studio in Nashville, TN), the crowd can’t accept it. It’s after 11pm on a Tuesday night, well passed the venue’s bedtime, but they’re screaming for an encore.
The house lights come up, and all the fellas mingle and meet as many people as possible. They chat with everyone, sign anything, and stay until the room clears. Then they load out and make the two-hour drive to Rochester, NY for a brief sleep before the next day's gig at Pineapple Jacks. Stay tuned for photos and a recap of that show.
