Spirit Ditties of No Tone + Giga Dance, Deerhoof

Deerhoof was one of the most insane concerts I’ve experienced, they are unique and experimental both on studio and stage. Greg Saunier drum style is as close as it gets from the Animal. Here is a clip of a live performance of Spirit Ditties of No Tone and Giga Dance.

By the way, some photos of the concert, Tavastia – Helsinki (22.4.2009), by TimoH:

Why? live at Kuudes Linja, Helsinki

Why? live

Some time ago I got the last album of Why?, Alopecia, it is a very interesting and consistent. They present a unique mix of hip-hop and indie-rock which at the first listening I found intriguing because it really keeps strong elements from both genres.

It was interesting to see two sets of drums, one played by the singer, the instruments going around all the band members, but above all to notice that their unique hip-hop/indie-rock fusion works even better live where you can see from where all the small sounds come from. Big plus for the versatility of the singer and power of the drums. Nice to watch live especially in a small place like Kuudes Linja where the band members were seated in a sofa selling t-shirts and albums. First time in this place for a concert, looking forward to come back for more, there was Atlas Sound today but my body demands some rest! Waiting for Broken Social Scene now, 26.05.
