Deerhoof
Deerhoof Live Performance of Closer at Williamsburg Music Hall
On September 20, 2011, Deerhoof performed live at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, showcasing the adventurous spirit that has defined their career. Just a few months prior, they had released the album "Deerhoof vs. Evil" in January 2011, which marked a point of creative resurgence for the band, blending their signature noise pop with unexpected elements. This period for Deerhoof was particularly vibrant, as they had spent years honing their unique sound, which often melds playful melodies with chaotic instrumentation. The live recording captures not just the energy of the performance, but also the band's unabashed attitude, evident in their bold statements during the show. Interestingly, Deerhoof has always prided themselves on their experimental approach and close connection to their audience, and this concert exemplifies that raw, unfiltered interaction.
