Midnight Bicycle Mystery

Things have been busy in the dragon household.....it kind of becomes a problem when you have too many hobbies combined with such little time.

Went to see Deerhoof play at Richard's last Friday. Arrived to catch the last two songs from Hot Loins.

BlackBlack were the next openers. The LA three piece came out dressed in some sweet costumes and played a nice set filled with mellow tones and catchy pop hooks.




Deerhoof played a solid set that displayed their artsy, experimental rock sound. Singer and bassist Satomi Matsuzaki is quite petite onstage, but has great charisma and offers a very interesting dynamic to the band with her unique vocals.




I was mainly focused during the performance on the insane drumming skills from Greg Saunier. He uses such a basic drum set, but was beating the hell out of his kit. It was quite an impressive sight. I'm starting to think maybe him and Pat Steward went to the same drum school together. Their set lasted just over an hour including one encore, but their high energy showing and strong musicality left me completely satisfied.
