Delorentos play Clonmel Junction festival
A nine-day Tipperary festival is being planned for July 7-15, featuring Dublin band Delorentos, other musical acts from Ireland and abroad, and a host of other cultural events.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 07 Jun 2007
Musical guests at Junction include Irish artists Delorentos, Royseven, Director, The Dubliners, Mary Black and Eleanor McEvoy. International acts on the bill include Congolese tribal band Kasai Masai and Havana Son from Cuba.
The theme of this year’s programme is ‘Motion and Migration,’ and it features several pieces of theatre on the subject, including a few Irish premieres by international companies.
Comedian Deirdre O’Kane is also performing, along with New York’s political drag artist Taylor Mac. Deirdre Kinahan’s comedy film Melody will also be shown.
There’s dancing aplenty with the Guinness Book of Records’ world’s fastest dancer James Devine appearing, as well as the Irish premiere of dance show Tapeire, fusing tap with jazz, hip-hop, funk and Celtic rhythms.
This year there’s also a mini-festival: ‘The Many Voices of Africa,’ featuring African theatre and music, with discussion groups and a photo exhibition on Malawi.
And while all that’s going on, the kids in Clonmel will be kept busy with a wide range of children’s events like mural painting, street theatre and arts activities.
Firsts this year are the Space Time Machine, a three-week workshop for 4th and 5th year students from Clonmel, and Talking Time, a dialogue on the arts featuring performers, artists and directors from the festival, with some special guests.
Tickets for the Junction events range in price and are available from the festival website www.junctionfestival.com

Something of a holding pattern for the Delorentos, with their album being rightly acclaimed in all quarters, the need to keep providing singles leads us to ‘Stop’.

Delorentos seem to have been with us for an age, outdone only by The Rags in taking their time releasing that long awaited first album. ‘Basis Of Everything’ is one last, download only salvo before said LP arrives in April but it indicates just how much this cautious approach has paid off. As with everything they’ve put their name to, this screams quality, conviction and promise. New Irish band of the year? Look out Ham Sambo, there could be a battle on the horizon.

Dublin band most likely Delorentos whet appetites with this thrilling taster for their debut album. ‘The Rules’ posits a sweetly naive collision of swaggering riffs and almost but not quite emo choruses. Too much hype may already have dulled their appeal – it’s ominous when you’re sick of a band not yet on their first record. For now, though, Delorentos are bright young things to watch.

2005-11-04 - REVIEW
Over the past six months Delorentos have found themselves in the not entirely enviable position of being tipped as the next big thing before they’d released a single note of music. Thus their debut EP finally arrives with great expectations. Fortunately, it’s a case of happy endings all round as the Dublin four piece pass their first test with flying colours. Indeed, you’d be hard pressed to recognise this as anything but the work of a band at the top of their game. Every aspect exudes pure confidence. The only possible worry, in fact, is that, with its twisted guitar riffs and awkward beats, they could find themselves tied a little too closely to the whole Franz / Bloc / Futureheads thing. Some lead, most follow and Delorentos are heading for the front.

2005-04-27 - Interview
When Delorentos came on stage everything seemed to fall into place. Although they’re clearly influenced by the current Brit Pop new wave, Franz Ferdinand et al, and are not wholly original, they do conjure undeniably sharp riffs and tight rhythms. They’re also great fun to watch.
