Deerhoof Live Performance of The Merry Barracks at Altar Bar
In February 2011, during their live recording at Altar Bar in Pittsburgh, Deerhoof was riding the wave of their album 'Deerhoof vs. Evil,' which had been released just a few weeks earlier. This album marks a vibrant phase in their career, showcasing their unique blend of noise pop and experimental rock, characterized by a playful yet intricate sound. The band's energy in this performance not only illustrates their creativity but also how they were embracing fresh material during this period. Fun fact: 'Deerhoof vs. Evil' was well received, pushing them into wider recognition. Their live shows during this time were crucial in solidifying their reputation for exhilarating performances, turning casual listeners into dedicated fans, and you'd likely catch a mix of both in the crowd that night!
