Deerhunter

Here are some videos of the Halloween show at the Variety Playhouse. These two bands were great, but Pylon and Jay Reatard were excruciating to get through and wore me out by the time Deerhunter blasted through a Microcastle-heavy set. I’ve found myself really enjoying the addition of Whitney Petty to the line-up live. Now that Bradford is all business on stage and dropped his antics, her goofy, quirky persona is literally the side-show off by herself while everyone else is busy shoegazing. I’m still not in total love with Times New Viking like some, but they are pretty damn good. See all of Clint Miller’s photos from the show here.
