Deerhoof show (was: Weekend Roll Call)

Who else liked the rainbow machine?!
 
 So glad to see Deerhoof again. I think they're better as a 3-piece...
 
 Harlem Shakes were boring as hell (they seriously need a new singer)...they took the stage at 9:40(!) WTF! It's inexcusable! Whatever Black Cat!

By the way. World Inferno was mind blowing. I can't remember hte last time I was that into an opening band. The friends I was with hated them; I couldn't have loved them more.

Do your friends not have souls?  That band gets more and more fun every time I see them.
 
 The first time I saw them was at Alley Katz; it was just them (no opener) and there were only 15 people were there, and they still played like it was a packed venue.  I was hooked.

I agree...Deerhoof absolutely SLAYED last night.  It seems the loss of a guitarist opened up their ability to just go wild with a lot of the songs.  And the Electric Rainbow Machine was definitely the best stage prop I've seen in a long time.
 
 Do they have some rule about not playing "O'Malley, Former Underdog"?  I've never seen it live at any post-Runners Four show.  That might be my favorite song of theirs period.

They didn't start until about 10:45. And yes, I agree that they did tear shit up last night. But where the hell was choco fight? One of the best and most fun songs on that album and it wasn't played either.

deerhoof was really good. they sure make a racket for three folks. the electric rainbow machine was the most tasteful lighting apparatus i've seen in a while. it didn't make you have seizures or blind you like those lights at the 930. i actually liked harlem shakes. i think they are gonna be pretty hyped in the coming year.
