Deerhoof and DJ Yamantaka Eye (The Boredoms) - Keystone Festival Bar

The cuddly and chaotic Deerhoof mix noise, sugary melodies and an experimental spirit into sweetly challenging and utterly distinctive music. The latest album in their 16 year history is Deerhoof vs. Evil. The musical equivalent of hormones raging out of control, it explodes out of the speakers with its gawky triumph and inflamed sentimentality. These are songs that practically demand that you dance and sing along (however elastic the rhythms, or abrupt the melodies). Right from "Qui Dorm, Només Somia" (sung in Catalan), you know you're hearing a daring band, unafraid of the consequences of failing (critics be damned)

Besides their cover of an obscure Greek film soundtrack instrumental ("Let's Dance the Jet"), and a song done for NY artist Adam Pendleton's documentary film installation BAND ("I Did Crimes for You"), these songs were completely self-recorded, mixed and mastered in practice spaces and basements with no engineers or outside input. Ironically the result is polished, blissfully exuberant, and huge-sounding. Going DIY meant freedom to reinvent themselves, playing each others' instruments, altering those instruments so drastically as to be unrecognizable, (those aren't Joanna Newsom or Konono No. 1 samples, those are John and Ed's guitars), and generally splashing their sonic colors into the most unexpected combinations.

DJ YAMANTAKA EYE (JAPAN) is the driving force behind Japanese psychedelic overlords BOREDOMS. A versatile yet instantly identifiable mixed-media artist, Yamantaka Eye has been involved in various collaborations and close associations with the likes of Sonic Youth, Matt Groening (The Simpsons), Gang Gang Dance, Ween, Battles, Beck, and John Zorn. Yamantaka Eye also famously orchestrated the ’77 Boadrum’ project, which featured a synchronized drum circle of 77 percussionists.

Performing a DJ set following Deerhoof, Yamantaka Eye will play an unpredictable mix of dance music, punk culture, & popular retro rock, mastering a weird fusion of club experience and sound art performance.

Both known for their energetic live performances, expect a night to remember
