 Active Galactic, produced by the band and Jason Hollis, will be The Riggs' third studio LP. Recorded in just nine days at The Grove Studios north of Sydney, the LP Features 12 cuts that run the gamut of musical genres from the Rolling Stones inspired "Surgery of Love", the high-powered N*E*R*D infused "Baddest Mother Fucker in the Beehive", and the disco rock of "Never Seen This Before". The growth from the band’s previous record, Dipz Zebazios, to Active Galactic is evident as this new album shows a band assured in its trajectory in musical life, and takes a strong step forward in an ever-growing career. On the recording process, Monte explains “It was super peaceful where we recorded; you feel ostracised from anything else in the universe. It’s important for us to really dive into the recording process without distraction. Vibe is key. It’s almost as paramount as the music. After nine days, cocktails at 5pm, suits at 6pm, a few minor disagreements and some intergalactic good times later – we had finished what we believe to be our finest work to date. Then we went to LA, which is a whole other story.” Active Galactic is available for pre-order now from thedeltariggs.bandtshirts.com.au, and comes with exclusive Pre-Order Packs including the opportunity to have Monte cook you and your friends dinner in Sydney or YOU and Simon (Showbiz) creating a one off piece of art in Melbourne Or YOU and Elliott cruising in LeFonda (his 1963 Chrysler Newport coup..)…or shooting the breeze and a bar tab with Rudy (Alex).
