Delorean (band)

Delorean was a Spanish alternative dance band formed in 2000 in Zarautz, a Basque town.

The band was originally composed of vocalist and bassist Ekhi Lopetegi, guitarist Tomas Palomo, keyboardist Unai Lazcano and drummer Igor Escudeo; they created the band to explore their mutual interests, from the local punk rock scene to electronic music.

Remixes for the likes of The xx, Cold Cave, and Franz Ferdinand gave Delorean exposure in the music press.

Following their successful visit to the 2007 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, the band released Transatlantic KK, a variation of the second studio album Into the Plateau, on the New York-based Simple Social Graces label.

In 2010, Delorean released their third album, Subiza, and secured a worldwide distribution deal with New York label True Panther Sounds.
