Live Music: September 23-29, 2012
Your weekly handpicked indie music shows in Idaho by your favorite music loving monster.
--- PICK OF THE WEEK ---
Boy, oh boy what a rad week for live music in Boise. Tough decision on the Pick of the Week, however after doing much research, I've decided that if you were to go to ONE show, it'd have to be Duck Club Presents: Deer Hoof with Buke and Gase and Raleigh Moncrief also Luke Wyland on Thursday night. I may be obsessed with the Deerhoof vs. Evil album, so I'm super stoked for their newest, Breakup Song. And did you know Buke and Gase's Hiccup song was chosen as Pitchfork's Best New Track back in May aaaaand Stereogum says to watch out for Raleigh Moncrief. Oh, and p.s. Luke Wyland is the musical genius who started Au (he even has his own wiki page).
A freaking stellar lineup!! I say go...
With every successive album, it becomes clearer that Deerhoof just do whatever they feel like doing. They’re not caving to expectations, playing to genres, or running with a set of strict rules. Their albums feel instinctual, and that’s not just because of Satomi Matsuzaki’s childlike vocals: whether its interlocking guitar shredding or cathartic drum pounding that fuses jazz dexterity with metal intensity, four musicians who have been playing together for a decade and a half naturally have that kind of chemistry. Somehow, the end results always manage to both impress and sound “like Deerhoof,” free-wheeling experimentalism that re-discovers the band’s own sound while also producing viscerally new and affecting music. - Consequence of Sound
