Deftones are scheduled to go out on an international tour starting May 11. The band has been relatively silent to the public eye since the passing of founding member Chi Cheng on April 13, 2013. The video can be seen after the jump.

December 19th, 2012 Dayton O'Connor Chino Moreno is a weird, infrequent tweeter. After about five seconds of scrolling through the timeline of the Deftones frontman one will reach last years dusty microblogged missives.
He’s not big on communication either. Rather than building a rapport with his fans or efficiently sharing pertinent release or tour information, Moreno just wants to turn his followers onto as much music as possible. Who knew that Moreno is a Frankie Avalon fan? (And who knew that Frankie Avalon was this good?!)
Which makes Moreno’s somewhat cryptic tweet about his dormant Team Sleep project all the more intriguing.

Only as recently as this past July did he finally make it out of the hospital to recover at home. Back in 2008, the Deftones were working on an album with Cheng, Eros, that was scrapped when the band hired new bassist Sergio Vega.
