Indie rock band Deerhoof performs live with support from the electronic duo SKRATZ at Radio/East in Austin.
Deerhoof play Radio/East on Saturday, October 17, with SKRATZ opening. Resound Presents is putting it on. If you've never seen them live, it's a good place to start—they're one of those bands that's easier to experience in a room than to describe on paper.
Deerhoof has been around for a long time, and they've spent that time building a sound that's hard to pin down. It's art-rock that doesn't take itself too seriously, full of sudden shifts, jagged rhythms, and a sense of play that carries through everything they do. They've released a steady stream of records over the years, and their live sets usually pull from across that catalog, so you'll hear the newer stuff alongside the older songs they've been playing for a while.
SKRATZ opens the night, so there are two acts on the bill. Between the two, you'll get a full evening of music rather than just a single set. It's a double bill that keeps the focus on the stage, with the opener warming up the room before Deerhoof takes over.
