DEERHOOF
Australian Tour April 2007
“Deerhoof continue to conjure up one hell of an eclectic racket.”
The Australian: 4 stars
“At just 36 minutes it’s an irrepressible and incandescent clutch of songs.”
The Big Issue
“They’re amazing.”
Matt Groening, The Simpsons
The San Franciscan art-noise trio are back with an ambitious new album and a return Australian tour in April. Heading to Sydney for the Great Escape Festival, they will also play headline shows around the country. See tour dates below.
Hailed as one of the most inventive bands in indie rock today, Deerhoof have impressed many with their 2007 release, ‘Friend Opportunity’ (Trifekta). The band’s most accessible and imaginative record to date, Greg, Satomi and John continue to push the boundaries of pop music, as they have done for over ten years. Deerhoof are dizzyingly creative, with their monster riffs, sporadic changes, organ driven grooves, oblique lyrics, sweet soprano vocals and explosions of noise.
In 2006, the band were handpicked for US tours with The Flaming Lips and Radiohead. They became a fast favourite in Australia, after their jawdropping live shows in February last year. And now they are back!
