FFF FEST REVIEW: Deerhoof

If you go to a Deerhoof show to dance, you better be quick on your feet because these songs switch up in the blink of an eye.

 

In the middle of a song, Deerhoof could be your average rock band with a sweet female lead vocalist, then all of a sudden the vocals are replaced by a full on, in-your-face jam session complete with drill team-like high kicks from the singer.

 

As if their attire was not eccentric enough—three band members wore shirts with tassels attached, while the fourth wore a Mariachi-esque shirt that would put Seinfeld’s “Puffy Shirt” to shame. The musicians exuded weirdness in every aspect of their set.

 

If we were all in high school, Deerhoof would be the kids that did not fit in with any clique so they banded together and sat in the corner of the cafeteria.

 

The four members of Deerhoof are not following any rules and seem to be just fine with that.
