Aside from headline shows, Delorentos have opened a number of high-profile shows throughout their career, including 2007 support slots for Sinéad O'Connor at Heineken Green Energy, the Dave Matthews Band at the Point Theatre and Arctic Monkeys, Supergrass and The Coral at Malahide Castle.

The band have also played with the likes of Idlewild, Gang of Four, Bell X1 and The Futureheads in locations such as London, New York City, Chicago and Toronto.

They have featured at numerous major festivals and tours including Electric Picnic, Oxegen and South by Southwest.

Delorentos were invited to play a set at the 2006 edition of Other Voices: Songs From a Room and were also regular performers on The Cafe.

They have built up a small fanbase in the neighbouring United Kingdom through appearances on television shows such as CD:UK.

[4] Produced by Marc Carolan the four-track EP was released in Ireland in November 2005,[3] entering the Top 30 of the Irish Singles Chart.

A second EP, Do You Realise, was released in November,[8] spending two weeks in the Irish Singles Chart and peaking at number thirty-four.

Performances of the singles "Basis of Everything" and "The Rules" at Oxegen 2008 were described as having "the kind of hummable sheen that sounds as perfect at a festival as on the radio".

The band's overall low profile in 2008 was initially thought to be due to them spending time working on their second album.

[14] However, in December 2008, Delorentos explained in their MySpace blog that a potential record deal had fallen through due to the prospective label encountering financial problems.

[20] Added to this, the collapse of Pinnacle, their distribution company, denied the band a chance to release their album in the United Kingdom.

[27] However, they still planned to record their second album, believed to be titled You Can Make Sound,[5] in March 2009 – it would contain all the songs they had written in the previous year – and play "a gig or two" as part of a farewell tour.

[20][26] The band's farewell tour includes shows in Whelan's in Dublin and Cyprus Avenue in Cork.

[28] Reaction to the split was generally one of shock – The Kinetiks were amongst the neighbouring bands they had influenced, Jacqui Carroll attributed her discovery of Irish music to an early Delorentos show, whilst blogger UnaRocks, John Walshe of State, Jonnie Craig and others had recently been championing the band's sound.

[29][30][31] Yourell later explained that the band signing away their independent stance only to be let down by their record company had "knocked us out of our stride" and had led to him considering his future.

After the brief split, the second album by Delorentos, You Can Make Sound, was released on DeloRecords on Friday 9 October 2009 in Ireland,[33] Reaching number 2 in the Irish Charts.

[40] The first single from the record, "Did we ever really Try" was released in October 2011 with an accompanying EP Magazine – written by the band with contributions from other artists and musicians.

[41] The latter idea proved to be very popular – with the band visiting cities around Ireland and opening up one-day stores in empty shops.

[43] In winter 2013, the band returned to record in Grouse Lodge and Exchequer studios with Rob Kirwan.

Signing their first international record deal with Universal music in July,[44] the album was released on 10 October 2014 and went straight into the Irish top 5.

[49] Each single from the album was released with an innovative video from Spanish director Antoni Sendra, aka Podenco.

During the Spanish tour for Night Becomes Light, the band went into studio in Spain in a Vineyard close to Aranda De Duero.

[57] The Album received some of the best reviews of their career, including 9/10 from The Last Mixed Tape,[58] 4 stars from the Irish Times,[59] and 9/10 from Hotpress Magazine.

[4] For instance, at one point the oldest song in the band's set list was "Leave It On" and that was only about eight months old at the time.

[67] In Love with Detail was nominated for the Choice Music Prize in 2007,[68] losing out to Super Extra Bonus Party's self-titled LP.
