Deerhoof are featured in Adam Pendleton's new large scale video installation, BAND, with shots of the band working on recording their new song, "I Did Crimes For You," which can be found on their upcoming album, Deerhoof vs. Evil.
BAND is a form and content refashioning of Jean-Luc Godard's Sympathy for the Devil, modeling Godard's belief that "radical formal complexity can undermine the bourgeois logic implicit to narrative filmmaking." The opening reception for the film takes place on November, 3rd - December, 23rd at The Kitchen in New York, NY. Check out the trailer above then follow the link below for free information about the opening reception.
We're excited to say that WIRE Magazine featured Deerhoof on the cover of their February issue this year. WIRE talks to Deerhoof about their Captain Beefheart obsession, and draws convincing parallels between the two acts, as bands with "instrumentation similar to that employed by a rock group, but deployed in ways few rock musicians would have considered." The band also tells WIRE what living in the Bay Area was like when Captain Beefheart fanatics all had their own personal tall tale of the band.

In conjunction with the release of Deerhoof vs. Evil, Deerhoof's Ed Roderiguez wrote his guide to battling evil in Drowned in Sound.

Also, if you can guess the name of Ed's miniature poodle, you'll get a free copy of Deerhoof vs. Evil. Click the link below to read Ed's editorial and enter the contest.
