subject: Deftones Tickets for UK Concerts [print this page] Deftones is an American rock band from Sacramento, California, formed in 1988. The name "Deftones" was created by Guitarist or former of Deftones "Carpenter" who wanted to pick "something that would just stand out, not be all cheese-ball at the same time. Carpenter combined the hip hop slang term "def", which was used by artists he listened to such as LL Cool J and Public Enemy, with the suffix "-tones", which was a popular suffix among 50s bands whose music he also enjoyed. Deftones members are Chino Moreno (lead vocals and Guitar), Stephen Carpenter (Guitar), Chi Cheng (Bass), Frank Delgado (keyboards and turntables), and Abe Cunningham (Drums and percussion).
Deftones their first album, 'Adrenaline' on 3 October 1995. 2nd Album 'Around the Fur' released on October 26, 1997. On June 20, 2000, the Deftones released their third album, 'White Pony'. The self-titled 'Deftones' was released on May 20, 2003. The Fifth Album was 'B-Sides & Rarities' released in 2005. Deftones released their sixth album 'Saturday Night Wrist' on October 31, 2006. Deftones have confirmed a release date of May 4, 2010 for their album 'Diamond Eyes'. Deftones has announced Concert at Donington Park Derby UK on 13 June 2010.
Deftones have always claimed diverse influences, with their musical style diversifying over their career. Deftones' sound has been described as alternative metal, art rock, dream pop, experimental rock, nu metal, post-grunge, progressive rock and rap metal. Deftones' B Sides & Rarities compilation includes cover songs from favorite artists, ranging from metal, hard rock (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and post-hardcore (Helmet and Jawbox), to gothic rock, art rock and new wave (Duran Duran, Cocteau Twins and The Cure), mainstream R&B (Sade Adu) and hip hop (a collaboration with B-Real of Cypress Hill). Deftones have always seemed more curious, more willing to incorporate traditionally revered sounds like D.C. hardcore and dream pop into their Northern California alt-metal.
Deftones members have worked on several side projects, such as Carpenter's group Sol Invicto, which features Eric Bobo of Cypress Hill and Richie Londres of C.L.P. Carpenter has also worked with a group called Kush, featuring members of Fear Factory and Cypress Hill. Other side projects include Moreno's Team Sleep and Cunningam's Phallucy. Deftones' Frank Delgado is a member of a DJ group with DJ Crook of Team Sleep, DJ Julez and Matt D Called Decibel Devils. Chino has made a number of guest appearances on numerous younger group's albums, such as "Bender" by Sevendust, "Paralytic" by Dead Poetic, "Vengeance Is Mine" by Droid, "Caviar" by Dance Gavin Dance and "Reprogrammed to Hate" by Whitechapel. In 2000, bassist Chi Cheng released a CD composed of his own spoken word poetry, called The Bamboo Parachute.
