DEFTONES To Hone New Material On Upcoming Club Tour
August 26, 2004DEFTONES frontman Chino Moreno recently told Launch Radio Networks that the band will have a full album's worth of new material ready by the time their upcoming club tour starts on September 28 at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles. "We're just gonna go out and play a bunch of new stuff," he said. "We're just trying to just be a little bit ahead of ourselves now, and just getting in shape, and just trying to be at top of our game."
DEFTONES will begin recording in early November in Connecticut, with a release planned for the first half of 2005. Production duties will reportedly be handled by Bob Ezrin, who has previously worked with KISS, JANE'S ADDICTION and PINK FLOYD, among many others.
DEFTONES' last album, 2003's "Deftones", debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart with more than 167,000 copies sold during its first week of release.
In addition to the new DEFTONES CD, Moreno is finishing work on the first album by his side project, TEAM SLEEP. A November release is expected, with a tour to follow in December.
