Q&A with Deftones Keyboardist/DJ Frank Delgado

In late 2008, Deftones were finishing up their sixth studio album when a devastating car accident left their bassist, Chi Cheng, in a coma. Now the platinum-selling Sacramento quintet is back with a new member and a new album, Diamond Eyes, which has been hailed by everyone from Spin  to the BBC. Keyboardist/DJ Frank Delgado reminisces about the band’s early days at the Cattle Club and what it was like to win a Grammy, and opens up about the struggle of moving on without “brother” Cheng.

The Pour de France

In recent decades, American cities have begun celebrating Bastille Day—July 14—with a waiters’ race modeled after a historic Parisian competition. It mixes tradition and civility with modern-day philanthropy and urban excitement. On your mark, get set, Bordeaux!
