Venue: Juan's Basement
The live recording of "Fresh Born" captures Deerhoof during a significant period in their career, shortly after the release of their album "Offend Maggie," which came out in 2008. This album marked a pivotal point for the band, showcasing their unique blend of experimental rock, pop sensibilities, and playful energy. The performance at Juan's Basement not only highlights the band's dynamic live presence but also reflects their willingness to engage with their audience, even in the face of heckling.
