Deerhoof at the Paradox

On Saturday night you might want to check out Deerhoof at Paradox. They create weird, art rocker/art-y noisy that is still poppy and accessible, which is an admirable skill. They music is just flat-out fun. In fact the only real problem we have with the band is that they have one of the most confusing sites on the internet. It's just flat-out cryptic. To get you ready for the show, this site has a load of Deerhoof mp3's for your listening pleasure. Get to the show early because the band Why? is opening up for them. We can just imagine all the Abbott and Costello-type humor that undoubtedly arises from their name. Oh the laughs! We did enjoy their most recent album, and think that they are one of the rare opening acts that nicely complements the sound of the headliner.

As far as Monday goes, the band Dogs Die in Hot Cars is playing at the Crocodile. The dog lover in us is saddened whenever we listen to their album, but the rock lover in us tells us to suck it up, grow a backbone and just listen to the music. The quality of their music makes up for their silly name, something our high school band Katz's Deli Llama never accomplished.
