One of the finest bands out there Deerhoof are returning to Birmingham on Thursday 24 July at the Castle & Falcon
For a band that seems to thrive on collapse, it’s simply amazing that this US/Japanese quartet is now celebrating its 31st year. Deerhoof long ago established themselves as one of the greatest rock groups ever to stride the earth. And if you think that’s an exaggeration, you haven’t seen them live. The furiously inventive quartet releases new albums on the schedule of a young band still hungry for its first break. Each one discovers some previously unknown combination of candy-coated hard-rock riffs and free-jazz percussive freak-outs, sideways J-pop hooks and fearsome dissonance, trenchant social commentary and surrealist humour. Their music is joyful and foreboding, cybernetic and deeply human, carrying an implicit note of defiant optimism in their refusal to bow to convention!
