Deerhoof

In April 2009, Deerhoof was firmly nestling in their experimental groove, having released their album 'Offend Maggie' just the previous year. This period marked a vibrant phase for the band, as they were both critically acclaimed and recognized for their unique sound—a blend of punk, pop, and avant-garde elements. The live recording from 'Avant Fest' in Moscow captures their energetic performance, showcasing their playful stage presence, which often includes quirky visuals like the famous tiger mask. It's fascinating to consider how their bold artistic choices and infectious enthusiasm resonate in live settings, reinforcing their reputation as a truly innovative group. Just a year or so after this performance, Deerhoof continued to push boundaries with their work, further establishing themselves as trailblazers in the art rock scene.
