Live Report:: Deeeeeerrhoof


After a lengthy session of recording some DBCR vocals last night, Ken and I headed out for the Deerhoof show at Le Poisson Rouge, which sounds like it could be "the red poison", but actually just means "the red fish". Because, Deerhoof was playing! Ah those rascals.

Welp, they managed to sell it all out, so we started asking for tickets. Apparently we were not the only ones as there was a line in front of us. Crazy part was when we found two tickets available, two folks that had been there longer than us through a big stink since, in theory, they were next in line. As if. We kept asking for close to 45 minutes before the show kicked off. Right then, Ken was able to score a single ticket. We kept asking around, but the door staff didn't want to let anyone in, despite the fact that they were not a full attendance. After the third song, I told Ken to head in and I kept asking around.

After about their fifth song, I gave up. Just didn't care anymore. A guy who walked out said if he could transfer his ticket to me he would have, as it actually was totally packed inside. So this confirmed, it was like well, don't waste your time. So I went home and to bed, and that was alright. They'll play again, and I'll get my ticket in advance.
