Band Name: Deftones
Date: Saturday 27th August
Stage: Main Stage
Hit or miss: HIT – They’re a popular force in ‘alternative’ metal but have kept an experimental outlook for some time – it’s hard to believe they’ve been infecting us since 1988.
Craziest song title: You’ve Seen The Butcher
Most bizarre band member name: Abraham Cunningham – a name riddled with grandeur! If not the drummer in a successful rock band, Abe should have been born in feudal times with expansive acres of land.
Current album: Diamond Eyes (2010)
Future prospects: Tentatively titled Eros, Deftones are currently working on a new full-length record. It may have been delayed after bassist Chi Cheng was involved in a serious car accident, but it’s on the way. Regardless, all we can hope is Cheng’s condition improve – he remains in a minimally conscious state.
