Deer Tick Have Them Singing Along at Rough Trade NYC on Tuesday

Deer Tick – Rough Trade NYC – April 30, 2019

It took about 100 seconds into the set-opening “Bluesboy” before the band turned their backs on the audience, the quartet huddling close in the middle of the stage for the first of many spasmodic guitar rock-outs. By the time they got to the fourth song, “The Bump,” lead vocals had been taken by frontman John McCauley, guitarist Ian O’Neil and drummer Dennis Ryan (bassist Chris Ryan content to complement on harmonies and low-end duties), not to mention a full-throated sing-along or two from the crowd. If it’s Deer Tick, it’s a come-one-come-all rock and roll party on a Tuesday night in Brooklyn or a Saturday night anywhere else in the country. This was the first of three shows in Williamsburg this week, a sold-out appearance at Rough Trade NYC before two at Music Hall of Williamsburg. For Deer Tick, though, it makes no difference if it’s a bar in their hometown, Providence, R.I., the main stage at Newport Folk Festival or a club of any size in Brooklyn, the venue is always a Goldilocksian just right, filled with friends singing along to songs old and new, shouting out requests for deep cuts and getting down to their far-flung rock show.

Over the first third of last night’s show, the word devil seemed to pop in the lyrics quite a bit, perhaps reflecting McCauley’s impish mood, or the relentless one-after-the-other raging furnace-blast of rock. As the performance continued, though, the veteran band showed a lot of different feels and facets. For the O’Neil-sung cover of “Pale Blue Eyes,” Chris Ryan switched to upright bass, McCauley taking the first of two different bouzoukis he’d play over the course of the night and the other Ryan playing the drums with his bare hands. It seemed every song thereafter featured some different combination of instruments and sounds, guitars acoustic and electric, mandolins and McCauley solo on piano for “Goodbye, Dear Friend.” Opener Courtney Marie Andrews came out for a pitch-perfect cover of “Up Where We Belong,” ensuring everyone in the audience would wake up on Wednesday morning looking for a Jennifer Warnes to pair with their Joe Cocker (or vice versa). Less-played songs requested on the band’s site were mixed in with songs off their newest release, Mayonnaise, like “Strange, Awful Feeling” and “Too Sensitive for This World.” The comfortably packed crowd loved it all, dancing to the rockers, singing along to the sing-alongs and, for many, getting properly warmed up for two more nights of Deer Tick in Brooklyn. —A.

Neil Capobianco,

Just saw the trash that arrived that summer of 1992 on a bicycle riding down McClintock north of Broadway. Tell him the trash he has been having sex with since then might be at your buddy Blaine's place in Palo Alto, California. They were roommate's in Los Angeles and she has been with him since 1989. Tell Jeremey her name is Alison Ryan. Her mom and step-father the Lundy's lived on Fordham Drive last I knew. Their number is 480.839.2194

"On the Other Hand," by Chester Commodore, for the Chicago Defender, April 22 1970. 

 This is one of 27 pieces of editorial cartoon art by Commodore in the Dennis Ryan editorial cartoon collection, in Columbia University's Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Commodore was a newspaper strip artist for the Defender, but made the transition to editorial cartoons in 1954, continuing until his retirement in 1981, then resuming from 1992 to 2004. The Commodore archives may be found at the University of Chicago. 

 This cartoon makes reference to the differing law-enforcement response to African-American and white groups, even when the latter were white supremacists. In December 1969, the Chicago Police Department, acting on intel provided by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, conducted a dawn raid on an apartment housing Black Panther members, killing two of them in their sleep. On April 20 1970, however, a Chicago PD raid of the National Socialist White People's party headquarters, which revealed an arsenal of weapons including 12,000 rounds of ammunition, resulted in five arrests, with no fatalities.

“The Audiences Have Grown Bigger, But the Speakers–” by Herblock, for the Newspaper Enterprise Association (1935).

This is one of eight cartoons by the legendary Herblock to be found in the Dennis Ryan editorial cartoon collection, in Columbia University’s Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Probably the largest collection of Herblock cartoons is at the Library of Congress, where the annual Herblock Prize is awarded.

The cartoon compares the demagoguery of anti-Semitic radio personality and Roman Catholic priest Father Coughlin to the inspired oratory of President Abraham Lincoln.  Coughlin’s early support for FDR’s New Deal changed to heated opposition in 1934, and by 1935, he turned his attention to Communism, accusing Roosevelt of having Socialist inclinations.
