Deftones
Deftones is a band out of Sacremento, CA. Chino (then going by Wong), Stephen, and Chi knew each other from highschool, and they used to jam together. The original Deftones featured the three plus John Taylor, the first drummer. A few years after the band started, John Taylor quit and joined Prayer Wheel. The Deftones then auditioned for a new drummer. During their auditions, Abe from the band Phallucy filled in as their drummer. After a while, Abe quit Phallucy and joined the Deftones. And that's how they came to be.

When they were still a small band in Sacto, they toured with KoRn, L7, and other local bands. In 1995, they signed with Maverick records and released Adrenaline, an awesome album. They made 2 videos from the album: Bored and 7 Words. Neither of them received much attention.

On Oct. 28, 1997, the Deftones released their much-anticipated sophomore album, Around the Fur. Another 2 videos were released: My Own Summer and Be Quiet and Drive. Both of them received some video play on MTV and other music networks. The band toured with Limp Bizkit, Will Haven, Warped Tour, and others in support of it.

Some extra info just for kicks. The video for Bored was filmed at a practice house in Sacramento; also, in the background of the video, you could see Will Haven standing around. The video for 7 Words was filmed at Cattle Club in Sacremento. The place is now named Bo Janlges.

They will rule the world with their new album white pony!And with the new single "Change(in the house of flies) they hope to get airplay.
