Huh?  I'm sorry I don't understand.  What are you saying?  Deelay Ceelay?  What the…?

Abstractly it is a merry blend of tune, percussion, color, and light synthesized into danceable intellectual melody; a fuzzy rocket scientist.  The more literal explanation is it's a band name that represents a playful rendition off the names of its two members, Delaney Kelly and Chris Lael Larson.

Part live and part electronically pre-recorded (synched with a projected experimental video experience) tonight's Deelay Ceelay show at Backspace will impress even the most jaded self-proclaimed music connoisseurs.   Do not expect to see or hear the typical live set. All I am going to say is Delaney and Chris both play drum kits on stage.  Their sound resonates a calm complexity full of rich enthusiasm that unites audience with instrumentation.  In other words — you will feel it.

You can download their EP here.

An added bonus is that they are playing with Root Beer and French Fry. I do not know much about them yet, but this band seems to be friends with more than a few people I know in town, each of whom tell me they are fans.
