New Deluka Vid And Tour Dates

Deluka was a big winner with the Stark squad in 2010 (they even made Vince's Top 30) and they're definitely kicking some ass thus far in 2011. Right now they're co-headlining the "Girls Who Rock" tour with Fefe Dobson. It's a charity run supporting cancer research centers and selected shows are $5. FIVE BUCKS. See? Kicking ass.

They also just dropped this new vid for their single "OMFG." It was directed by John Christopher Pina (Devendra Banhart, Nico Vega, Ke$ha, Cee Lo). More kicking ass.

Baeble Does Deluka

[mp3] Deluka: "Nevada"

We were here, bleary eyed, shell-shocked, and well-satisfied after a day of playing army in the Fader Fort. We love Deluka. Seen them about 200 times this year touring behind their new record You Are The Night. T'was also on this chilly CMJ night that we finally met the outstanding folks behind Baeble. We shared free pizza, commiserated about the week, and decided that yes, Deluka would be our last show of CMJ. We parted ways, happy, our dance-rock bones sufficiently rattled... "Vámonos, amigos," Vince whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And we rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

Band To Watch: Deluka

[mp3] Deluka: "Nevada"

We've surprised ourselves...somehow, as we have been subconsciously and consciously "following" the UK-turned-US electro-rockers Deluka. After playing a few games of seven degrees of separation, receiving an advance of their debut LP You Are the Night (releasing digitally Sept.21 on Vel Records) and catching the tail end of a show at Pianos a couple months ago, Deluka have seeped into our constant rotation; they are much more than a bleep on our radar these days. Fronted by the mysterious, highly charismatic and fashionable, Ellie Innocenti, a tight backing band and an energetic, iconic bassist to-boot, Deluka's infectious hooks and melodies have invaded our psyche. From tunes such as "Nevada," "Name on My Lips" and "Cascade" featured above, Deluka are a lasting finish on the palate. There is no sipping here..it's a full on chug -- one drink leads to another and then you are drunk on your thrid show and an alcoholic by your fourth. Be sure to catch this foursome when they come to town (West Coast you're next) -- you can find us selling grilled cheese with a finger in the air, Phish-style. Are we... fans? Unknown at this point, but we do know this: Deluka are good folks and good bowlers.
