This Is What You Should Be Doing On Halloween

Go see Deerhoof on Halloween night at the 40 Watt with Flying and Experimental Dental School. I'm not going to fluff this post up with a bunch of flowery descriptive language or praise, but I will tell you that I was lucky enough to catch them the last time they played the 40 Watt as the Popfest headliner and I instantly bought 4 of their albums. I am unfortuantely unfamiliar with their latest effort Offend Maggie, but it seems you can hear it in it's entirety on their myspace page. Click their name up there to hear it. Also take a look at their official website which allows you to ask the band random questions. Some of the Q & A's are pretty funny. They are really an indescribable band, but here's the video for a song called The Perfect Me to help things along:



The music video is funny and shows off how quirky they are, but live their music is going to absolutely twist you into knots. I couldn't find any live videos that had decent sound quality though. But a truly incredible group. Plus everybody will be dressed like weirdos on Halloween so thats cool too. You can buy tickets from the club's link below. See you there.
