DEFTONES: New Video Interview With SERGIO VEGA

April 27, 2011

Lost In Reviews conducted an interview with DEFTONES bassist Sergio Vega before the band's April 25 performance at the Voodoo Lounge in Kansas City. You can now watch the chat below.

Vega is continuing to perform with DEFTONES as the replacement for Chi Cheng remains in a semi-comatose state after suffering severe injuries more than two years ago in a car accident.

DEFTONES' North American headlining tour kicked off on April 14 in Seattle and will finish up two months later on June 13 in San Francisco.

DEFTONES has been getting rave reviews for its recent live performances and drummer Abe Cunningham told The Pulse Of Radio that he thinks the band is playing much better now than it has in the past. "I think at this point we've just really been enjoying ourselves so much more than we have in years, and playing good too, you know," he said. "Trying to be as consistent as possible. And I think it's a live experience, there's always room for a little of this and a little of that, but, you know, we've just been really enjoying ourselves, and I think, you know, that comes through in the live show now."

The band released a covers album for Record Store Day on April 16. Titled "Covers", it includes DEFTONES versions of tunes from THE CURE, THE SMITHS, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and DURAN DURAN and others.

DEFTONES will also release a vinyl edition of "Around The Fur", the band's second album, on May 17.
