'All these years I've been singing about being a historymaker, but it's never been me that I'm singing about. It's  always been you... you're the ones that are making history.' Martin

By now you'll  know that 2009 is the last year that Delirious will be playing, recording and, well, being Delirious at all. Ever. You might know that there's a tour coming up and that it's been given the name HistoryMakers. What you might not have worked out is quite how much you're a part of the plot.

As the final months play out, we want to spend them as close to you as we can get. We want to know your stories, your journeys, the history you're making.

Over the years we've heard so many of your stories of faith, love and perseverance and they've always left us inspired and humbled in equal measure. So now we've created a corner here in the Living Room just for you - a blog for you to post your story, your life, your successes and struggles. There are loads of fantastic stories up there already, so you should join in the HistoryMaking right here.

Also, if you fancy a quick click that will make you smile you should go watch the and see the band telling you about the tour and how you should be sorting yourself out with your tickets pretty soon (seriously, the London show's already sold 80% of its tickets). But the best bit is watching Jon and Evans. I think we can agree that a future in TV does not beckon...

This October it's all going to be kicking off here in the UK as Delirious? head out on some of their last ever shows in the UK. Showcasing 'Kingdom Of Comfort', an album soaked in experiences gained from Delirious'? travels around the world, you have twelve chances to see them - twelve chances to jump, shout, wonder and leave feeling inspired, propelled and more than a little uncomfortable.

Join us. Tree 63 will be there and so will thousands of other historymakers just like you.

Press Release for Delirious?

Sunday 6th July 2008



The End of an Era……

We would like to address all our fans, our friends and people around the world who have faithfully supported Delirious?

After 14 albums, thousands of shows in front of millions of people, and many extraordinary memories, we have decided that at the end of 2009 we will take a break from recording and playing as a band.

Our decision was triggered by a request from Martin to be released from the band to pursue new projects including his work with CompassionArt and the desire to be at home more with Anna and his children. We have of course honoured this request and made a decision together that now is the time to end this chapter of our lives.

We will continue to play and be excited about our current tours and bookings but will not be adding many more over the coming 17 months..

We are all so deeply grateful to our incredible fans who have sung the songs and allowed Delirious? the privilege of providing the soundtrack to many lives over the years. From the school hall in Littlehampton to the stadiums of the world we have many stories to tell our children's children. Delirious also would not be what it is without our amazing wives and families, and our gratitude to them is immense. We will now move forward to the next part of our lives where new challenges unfold and greater stories will be written.

We want to make it absolutely clear that although this decision has been extremely painful and difficult, we are still great friends and our respect for each other is unquestionable. We love playing in this band together and know that even though 2009 will bring an end to this current journey, there will be more adventures together in years to come.

We always used to say that we were 'taking it wherever it goes'. The music ended up going further and deeper than we could ever have dreamed, yet we are now at a point where our creative futures will spread out and take on different journeys.

Thanks again for believing in us through all these years. We believe the best is yet to come.


Jon, Martin, Paul, Stu G and Tim

Are You Sitting Comfortably?

Well then we’ll begin.

Once there was a band. They called themselves Delirious? and they made some good albums. They got pretty good at it, knowing how to serve up the big tunes. But at some point they woke up to the fact that life was comfortable. And then things started to get really interesting...

Kingdom Of Comfort is out already in the USA. How’s it going? Nicely, thank you very much. iTunes already has it at number 1 on the Christian and Gospel chart - and at a tasty looking number 48 overall.

Reviews are coming in, and they’re looking good. You can read a handful for yourself at the end of this email.

The point we just wanted to make is this: something’s happening out there. If KoC gets to be a small part of it, then we’re all grateful and humbled by the fact. What matters more than sales and nice words is that we keep going with the journey out of the comfortable, towards the place where we can make a difference. We’re just taking our first steps down here, but the journey’s the best we’ve been on so far.

With love and discomfort.


Delirious?



Reviews

"Kingdom of Comfort is yet another homerun for Delirious, with amped up modern rock production, some challenging lyrics meant to inspire social action, and more stirring songs of worship." – ChristianMusicToday.com (4.5 out of 5 star review)

"Not content with simply setting the standard for worship in the church world-wide, Delirious? continues to push us forward musically and spiritually with The Kingdom of Comfort……this album is as fiery and robust musically as it is lyrically." – CMCentral.com (5 out of 5 star review)

"Most bands are fortunate to make one landmark record in their careers… with the release of Kingdom of Comfort, they have achieved a rare trifecta." – Soul-Audio.com (9.5 out of 10 review)

"This disc is the sound of purpose resurrected and their best new disc for years. More importantly, if their influence continues as it has in the past, it could radically shake up the ’praise and worship’ genre, giving it the practical, biblical earthing for which it is desperate. Welcome back, boys!" – tollbooth.org (4.5 out of 5 review)

It's here. Well, almost. The tenth, the boldest, the most personal and least comfortable Delirious album you've ever heard. Kingdom of Comfort is the album that bands like this never really make. By now it should be business as usual - working the formula and churning out the classics. But not for Delirious. Kingdom of Comfort is the result of two years of hard times and challenging experiences; of trips to the homes of those whose entire possessions can be packed into a shoebox; of finding life and hope in the darkest of places; of the morning after the five-star dream; of waking up and knowing that life can never be the same again.

The songs... well, you'll just have to hear them for yourself - and you can do just that in a couple of ways: First you can get onto the Living Room and download God Is Smiling and the newly added We Give You Praise. You can also check out Purashop - the only place in the world where you can hear 30 second clips of every track on the album. Let's just say that you've never heard the band quite like this before.

Pre-order your copy of the album for £9.95 here from Purashop (including free delivery) and you'll get a set of signed limited edition postcards. CLICK HERE
