Friend Opportunity

A few days ago I saw Deerhoof at Irving Plaza in Manhattan. Opening for them was Proton Proton and Bus Driver, Neither of which i cared much for. Although we did show up late and didn't really pay much attention to either (no disrepect, it was school night and i had to save my energy). I wasn't really familiar with Deerhoof before seeing them, I had only heard them in passing. But seeing as how they sold out Irving Plaza i figured it couldn't suck to bad. They kept my interest straight through there set, the only time i got a little bored was during the encore (but like i said, it was a school night). If i had to describe them from seeing there live show only i would call it a cross between Shonen Knife and Sonic Youth lite. Maybe I'm way off but that's what i got from the show. After hearing their Album Friend Opportunity I would still say that's descriptions not to far off. It's angular, primarily guitar driven indie rock. The vocals are pretty stereotypical of what you might expect from a small asian girl, high pitched and cute. All in All a good, fun band. Check out some mp3's from their record label, Kill Rock Star's Website:
