Deluka
Band Birmingham United States Formed 2004 US‐based UK indie rock band
Deluka formed in 2004 in Birmingham, United States. Deluka has 11 chart appearances on 8 radio countdowns from 2 stations on RockLists, spanning 2010–2014. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Cascade”, which appears on 6 lists with a best position of #18. The station that charted Deluka most often is CD101 (Columbus, OH), with 9 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2010.
Deluka got going in Birmingham, England, in 2004, then packed up for Brooklyn once an American label signed them. The lineup is lean and wired: Ellie Innocenti singing and playing guitar, Kris Kovacs on programming, production and guitar, Robbie G on bass and Stevie J. Palmer on drums, and the sound is sleek new wave with an indie rock kick, all taut guitars, glinting electronics and Innocenti's cool, clipped vocals.
The first full-length, Broken Sleeping Patterns, arrived in 2008, and its "Sleep Is Impossible" got a second life in Grand Theft Auto IV. You Are the Night followed in 2010 on Vel Records, bringing "Cascade" and "OMFG"; "Cascade" found its way into a Sims 3 expansion pack, and "Black Magic" later turned up in NBA Live 15. Along the way they also handed fans three free tracks cut in San Francisco with Dan the Automator, the producer behind Gorillaz and Kasabian.
