DELTA SPIRIT + DEEP SEA DIVER @ THE EL REY THEATRE

A very still, stone-faced man sat at the edge of the stage during Deep Sea Diver‘s set. It was a mild distraction, but Jessica Dobson (who is also guitarist for The Shins) kept our attention with her sweet vocals. Dobson asked the crowd if anyone knew Nick Cave and then owned her version of his “Red Right Hand.” On the very last song of the set, the stone-faced man leaped up and started dancing some pretty impressive moves before ascending into the crowd as Dobson revealed that it was her brother, whom she loves very much. As he made his way into the crowd, he acted as the band’s ambassador and the love was shared all around.
