Deftones' Side Projects

I've heard a lot about the Deftones' members' side projects today, so I'll post a little bit here even though they don't sound very metal:

Team Sleep — whose core consists of Moreno, his friend DJ Crook and childhood pal guitarist Todd Wilkenson — are close to wrapping up their as-yet-untitled disc, which they've been recording in Seattle with Terry Date, who produced all three Deftones LPs.

Carpenter, meanwhile, is involved with Fear Factory's bassist and drummer, Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera, and Cypress Hill frontman B-Real in a project called Kush, which could become Dr. Kush if that name is already taken.

And the other band members seem to have some stuff going on too.
