Since there has not been much news regarding Chi Cheng’s health, I thought I’d post up something slightly Deftones related. This is from Deftones’ frontman, Chino Moreno’s side project, Team Sleep. One of their first live performances in 2001 and I was actually in attendance. Some of the album had leaked on the internet prior to this show, so people had an idea of what to expect. What I didn’t expect was that I was about to witness some of the most insane drumming I had ever seen. Enter Mr. Zach Hill around the 5 minute mark. This clip is a little long, but worth the wait. When the album leaked, this track was called “Natalie Portman.” It ended up as “Live from the Stage” on the self titled full length release…this version is better.

SoCal Skateshop held their annual Skatefest at Pala Skatepark yesterday. A little on the warm side, but all in all an awesome day for skating, music, food and friends…

I know I have posted up about these guys before, but you are going to get it again. Deftones’ bassist, Chi Cheng, was involved in a serious car accident last Wednesday. Reports say he is in serious but stable condition and has been in a coma since the accident. So, it seems appropriate to pay homage to one of my favorite bands. Here is some stuff off each of their albums. Get well soon, man!
Root – Adrenaline
Be Quiet and Drive – Around the Fur
Digital Bath – White Pony
Hexagram – Deftones (I think this was shot at Skatelab in Simi Valley)
Hole in the Earth – Saturday Night Wrist
and Melanie, a new song that is supposed to be on the forthcoming album, Eros.
