TEAM SLEEP To Release Long-Awaited Debut In May

March 17, 2005

Launch Radio Networks is reporting that TEAM SLEEP, the side project from DEFTONES singer Chino Moreno that's been in the works for over five years, will finally release its self-titled debut album on May 10. The only recorded output by TEAM SLEEP before this was a song on the soundtrack of the 2003 film, "The Matrix Reloaded". Moreno told Launch what it is about TEAM SLEEP that has kept him involved for all this time. "I just think they're good songs, and its good people that I play with — most of them are my friends that I grew up with forever," he said. "And it's kinda like, I think when a band goes in to make their first record, it's like, you don't have anything to really live up to, other than just making songs that you like, you know what I mean? Sometimes it's aggravating to have, like, everybody else's opinion all the time, and TEAM SLEEP, it's just, we just do it and they kind of let us do what we wanna do."

Meanwhile, Chino and DEFTONES entered the studio last November with legendary producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, PINK FLOYD, JANE'S ADDICTION) to begin recording their fifth studio album. There's no word yet on a release date for the disc. DEFTONES undertook a short U.S. tour last fall to road test some new material. The band's last album, a self-titled effort, came out in the spring of 2003.
