Deerhoof

In the fall of 2004, when Deerhoof performed "C" at Northsix in Brooklyn, they were in a dynamic phase of their career, having just released their album "Apple O'" earlier that year. This album was notable for its experimental approach, featuring a blend of noise pop, punk, and avant-garde influences that defined Deerhoof's unique sound. By the time of the live recording, the band had started to establish their reputation as a pioneering force in the indie music scene, known for their energetic performances and innovative compositions. They were on the cusp of broader recognition, with "Apple O'" helping to solidify their artistic direction. Interestingly, Deerhoof's influential style often incorporates unconventional song structures, a characteristic evident in their live renditions, making their performances an essential part of their identity and appeal. This recording from 2004 captures a pivotal moment when the group was gaining momentum and expanding their loyal fanbase.
