Reveille is their best record.

milkman is gorgeous, but reveille and apple o are great places to start too.

Anyone else going to the show at Northsix tonight? Hope it's not sold out...

(my answer to this thread is Apple O')

shit, i have reveille but never bothered to get it. actually the only track i really like is that one instrumental with the really long title off of milk man. and i LOVE that track.

― ng-unit, Thursday, 29 September 2005 02:32 (7 years ago) Permalink

Did anyone go tonight? I had too much shit due tomorrow :(

I think that the presence of, "Apple Bomb" on Apple O' pretty much silences the debate like the proverbial smashed plate of asparagus against the wall..

But the guitar on Frenzied Handsome, Hello from Reveille is just too awesome to pass up.

1.The bassist left the band.
2. theres a new E.P to download in their website, but i cant download it - it gives me the error sign all the time.
am i the only one? if yes - how is the ep?

it took ages to download. has some very funny cover versions.

what is the MBV song they did?

― zappi (joni), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 17:59 (7 years ago) Permalink

must have taken courage for chris to detach himself from the deerhoof rocket. but looking forwards to more albums by the curtains and less brainless reviews calling curtains a 'side-project'.

I wonder if chris is leaving before they open for radiohead next month

― milton parker (Jon L), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 18:45 (7 years ago) Permalink

it seems that Deerhoof are the calmest, quietest nerds in the music scene.
the bassist is leaving, but no dramas are involved:
"Best wishes to Chris who is leaving the band to do The Curtains."
one sentence in their website.life goes on.bye bye.

― coco the kid, Tuesday, 23 May 2006 23:10 (7 years ago) Permalink

Satomi plays bass, right?
Cohen played guitar with them.

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 04:17 (7 years ago) Permalink

Yeah, but they switched off a lot.

FWIW he was the newest member of the band, he replaced on/off again member Rob Fisk.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 17:15 (7 years ago) Permalink

anyone else heard the Natural Dreamers cd? it's Chris and John from Deerhoof, and Jay Pellicci on drums... the lp is great; instrumentals that remind me of old Television bootlegs and Mofungo.

― nerve pylon (flat_of_angles), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 18:00 (7 years ago) Permalink

oh: forgot:

--call me crazy, but i would recommend starting w/ The Runners Four.
--as for Curtains, i really only like the first lp, Fast Talks

― nerve pylon (flat_of_angles), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 18:10 (7 years ago) Permalink

i dig the 'lose my breath' cover and am semi-amazed that they managed to figure out all those weird chords.

― 6335, Wednesday, 24 May 2006 18:10 (7 years ago) Permalink

Fast Talks is my favorite of the two I've heard, Flybys was scrambled but has moments

& I like the Natural Dreamers CD too, though live was better

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 18:33 (7 years ago) Permalink

Last time i saw deerhoof live chris was playing bass and satomi guitar, which i'm guessing is the arrangement on 'The Runners Four' too.

Deerhoof are one of the very few bands that have never done a shit record ever - so yeah there's no 'best album' really, depends what butters your muffin - if it's noisy randomness try 'The Man The King The Girl', avant-pop songs try 'The Runners Four' or 'Holdypaws', growly guitars try 'Reveille' or 'Halfbird', spazzy prog try 'Milkman'... they're all fucking great records anyway.

This back to trio lineup is excellent. I was never a fan of Chris, I think he was more annoying than anything.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:24 (6 years ago) Permalink

Couldn't disagree more. I've seen their new incarnation once, and granted it was an opening slot for Radiohead on a very large stage, but the show screamed "missing member". They were better when they had two guitars that would play off each other. Part of the problem, I think, is that "The Runners Four" was my favorite album of last year, and it's centered around all the guitar work. At that recent show they couldn't come close to reproducing the beautiful interplay on the album. I don't need Chris back in the band, but someone! Please!

― cosmo vitelli (cosmo vitelli), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:04 (6 years ago) Permalink

Chris is great, and a super nice guy to boot.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:10 (6 years ago) Permalink

And he's cute.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:46 (6 years ago) Permalink

Rob is cuter, greater and nicer to boot, you are all crepes.

Anyways, saw them last night at a pretty big venue (600 people) and they were as good as I've ever seen them (as 4-some, 3-some, then 4-some now back to 3-some) in the past 10 years.

I like the new trio as well, I saw them at Mighty a few months back -- though I do miss some of those grounding chords, the advantage to having the rhythm guitar gone is that there's more room for wilder, fucked up guitar leads, John goes further out

I'm in the camp that is slightly mild on Runners Four but think the new songs are as good as anything they've done when they play them live

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 20:12 (6 years ago) Permalink

i like the two-guitar lineup better. they didn't seem that full last time in town.

Deerhoof mk.1 = Rob and Greg
Deerhoof mk.2 = Rob, Greg and Satomi
Deerhoof mk.3 = Rob, Greg, Satomi and Kelly
Deerhoof mk.4 = Greg, Satomi and John
Deerhoof mk.5 = Greg, Satomi, John and Chris
Deerhoof mk.6 = see mk.4

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 20:38 (6 years ago) Permalink

Wait what Deerhoof covered Lose My Breath? I'm too drunk to read links what is this on, or was it live or something? I have to hear that. OK OK I'll look on P2P, you bastards.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 20:49 (6 years ago) Permalink

Who was playing on Apple O? Just Greg, Satomi and John? That remains my favorite.

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 22:35 (6 years ago) Permalink

apple o = mk. 5

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 22:42 (6 years ago) Permalink

Yeah, Apple O is great.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 22:44 (6 years ago) Permalink

I, like Cousin Larry Bundgee, prefer Revielleielielieliele but I think that this new one is pretty epic too.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 22:48 (6 years ago) Permalink

their show at the McCarrin park pool blew me away. A band I can't stop loving. I wish though they'd maybe try out some new tricks on some future music

and reveille are good

― Chris Grasinger (gman59), Thursday, 7 September 2006 16:42 (6 years ago) Permalink

I just downloaded Reveille. Is good.
Sounds like a wrong-ass Stereolab crossed with Cornelius "Fantasma" and some other shit. Is good.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Thursday, 7 September 2006 22:39 (6 years ago) Permalink

One song on Reveille that no one ever talks about is "Top Tim Rubies". It sounds like nothing else that they've done.

Also on Reveille, the song "All Rise" is much more enjoyable if you imagine it played by a really drunk organ player at, say, the Major League Baseball All-Star game.

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Thursday, 7 September 2006 22:58 (6 years ago) Permalink

"Apple O'", especially, and also "Milk Man" have felt underappreciated to me. Mostly because "Reveille" set the bar in 2002 and Deerhoof churns out new albums every year. Most Gen Myspace'ers can't be bothered to invest that much time in a single band.

Part of it has to do with the "this is the one album you really need to own by this band" mentality that permeates our culture. Get this album, and you've got this band covered. Next. The same thing's happening with Frog Eyes. It's as if being prolific were a bad thing. It's probably Old Man Pollard's fault.

The first half of Running Thoughts is about as good as Deerhoof gets. The second half is my favorite recorded music from 2005.

new album BREAKUP SONG fucking rules. short and sweet, barely 30 minutes, total party record with a sick low-end crunch and some really great, concise hooks. the heaviest deerhoof record yet. reminds me a little bit of dope body. they're on tour now, has anyone seen them lately?

like it a lot. Good comeback from vs. evil, which I thought was kind of tossable.
