Hi,
I'm writing to let you know that about a week ago I asked the other delorentos if they'd consider allowing me rejoin the group. After several good chats we've decided to continue on, together.
As mentioned in our blog in December 2008 was a difficult year for all sorts of reasons.
I realise now that I didn't cope very well with these. I guess you could say I discovered the true meaning of the phrase 'difficult second album'.
As bizarre and exciting as the period following the release of "In Love with Detail" was, I found the subsequent hibernation to write the next record, as well as some personal traumas, hard to deal with, to the extent that I felt I could no longer continue.
Had the band not felt compelled to record the songs we had been working on, I would not have had an opportunity to rethink my decision.
It's a cliche, but I took those closest to me for granted. In studio I was reminded of the reasons I first got so excited about this group and it also afforded us the time to talk and see delorentos and ourselves from a different perspective.
I'd like to apologise to all our friends. The dramatic press release a couple of months back, was in hindsight premature, but we wanted to be open and honest about what was going on.
I'm grateful to Níal, Kieran and Ross for their friendship and understanding and I'm very excited at the prospect of playing our new songs for you,
Thank you,
Ró.
Ps. If anyone having purchased tickets for the shows in May has any issues, please contact us on management@delorentos.net.

Oh my god This makes me really happy guys. The last sentence worries me a bit, does that mean the gigs are off? I guess not, and in that case I have no issues whatsoever (although I would not mind at all if you decided to pay my plane ticket ). Bring on next month!

That is fantastic news...completely made my week! I was gutted since I didn't think I'd ever get to see you lads play live, cause I can't make it over for any of the May gigs.
Welcome back, Ró!
;D
