Deerhoof

Deerhoof has always had this dramatic and exaggerated side of the bands we expect on stage. Perhaps it is due to the indecent debauchery of energy of his woman front, Satomi Matsuzaki, or to the cacophony of the guitars pushed to their maximum. It's bound to be expected from a band that shot, in the '90s, with people like Sleater-Kinney, Lightning Bolt, Unwound or Sonic Youth. That is the amplitude of their musical spectrum. Coming from San Francisco, the band played for a long time in trio (song/bass/battery) until the introduction of John Dieterich in 1999. Awakening, released in 2002 and its first critical and public success, marks a more electronic turning point for Deerhoof. Quickly set aside, this being, with the release of Apple O (2003), recorded in just nine hours (in a row). If even Pitchfork considers him one of the best records of the decade... After leaving their jobs, Deerhoof members turned intensely, starting in the mid-2000s. Interchangeable, and always taking care to destructure their pop side, the musicians take off from the Atlantic to visit Europe. Since then, they have had little time to rest, chaining tours, all self-managed, and album releases, all self-produced.
