Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Charley Gallay, Getty Images As hardcore supergroup OFF! pummeled through their repertoire of raw, aggressive minute-long songs at Toronto's Horseshoe during NXNE on Friday, frontman Keith Morris ( Black Flag , Circle Jerks ) recapped his disdain for the U.S. Government's "Bin Laden's gone! Who's next?" tactics, North American rampant consumerism, and one of the local area's "douche-bag" neighborhoods. While political [...]

NXNE 2011 continued on Thursday night with even more venues throughout the city showcasing talent from both around Canada and the rest of the world. The Phoenix hosted the Dodos and Deerhoof . Meanwhile, at Wrongbar, NOW Magazine hosted its showcase which included performances from artists such as Jennifer Castle , Allie Hughes , Anagram , and Fucked Up . And while the contrast between some of these artists — particularly at Wrongbar — couldn't be more stark, it's this very contrast that defines NXNE. The Dodos [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , Q + A Sarah Cass Deerhoof are an indie institution. They've released 11 albums, each of which combines pop, noise and structure into an experimental stew that often sounds nothing like its predecessor but always like Deerhoof. After 17 years they've reached the point where they can open for Radiohead on big arena tours and receive press in major publications, [...]

Alright, let's go back to summer 2008. I was playing ultimate frisbee with some friends, when a good chum of mine popped a recording of The Ladies into a CD player. It was exactly what I wanted to hear just then - and what I repeatedly played for the remainder of those warm months. I had forgotten all about their 2006 album They Mean Us , until I was scouring through my itunes trying to find something to introduce to dailybeatz. Rob Crow (Pinback) and Zach Hill (Hella, Team Sleep) make up the energetic, [...]
With the release of Deerhoof vs Evil , Deerhoof continues on its merry way, making music that is gloriously idiosyncratic and accessible. Guitarist John Dieterich talks about the new album, his musical frustrations, and a love for Brazilian music. It's almost de facto that a new Deerhoof album will show a willingness to experiment with form while always preserving a sound that is quintessentially its own. This is in addition to being ridiculously good. This trait has continued on the group's new album Deerhoof vs Evil, a texturally denser yet no less visceral album than those that have [...]
Two weeks ago someone recommended that I check out Penguin Music and, given its indoor location, I thought it'd be a good place to hit up considering the weather we've been having. Located inside The Black Market clothing store, Penguin offers a variety of new and used CDs, vinyl, and a decent selection of DVDs. ALBUMS Black Mountain - In The Future New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies The Rolling [...]

Not bad at all, [...]
Between Lollapalooza, Pitchfork, and North Coast, not to mention its slew of street festivals, Chicago is without a doubt the music festival capital of the United States. So it's easy to forget about Illinois' non-Chicago festivals, which do in fact exist. There's the jam-tastic Summer Camp Music Festival, held annually in Chillicothe. And down south in Champaign-Urbana, the Pygmalion Music Festival has been going strong for seven years. This year's Pygmalion, set for September 21-24, will be led by Explosions in the Sky, Braid, Toro Y Moi, Deerhoof, Japandroids, Xiu Xiu, Starfucker, Owen, and Someone Still [...]

Warner Bros. Or at least we are the first batch of acts officially announced on Tuesday for this year's NXNE festival, running June 16 through 19 around Toronto. It's certainly not all of them, but there's some moderate to big names in there and perhaps most key, the headliners for the free shows at Yonge-Dundas Square that have become the centrepiece of the fest have been revealed. While there's no one quite of the stature of last year's Saturday night marquee of Iggy & The Stooges , New [...]
ATP have just announced that Battles , Swans , Deefhoof and more newly confirmed acts will be joining the 2011 Asbury Park bill. The festival is also making additional 3 day Portishead
With a lineup topped by the reclusive Jeff Mangum and the awe-inspiring Portishead, who are also curating two of the days, the New Jersey edition of ATP's I'll Be Your Mirror music festival provided one good reason to head to the Garden State this summer. (Hopefully Springsteen announces a tour so we have another.) Set for August 30 - September 2 in Asbury Park, the festival has announced a new batch of acts, including Swans, Battles, Deerhoof, Peanut Butter Wolf, Silver Qluster, Manorexia featuring Jim Thirwell (Foetus), and Foot Village. Plus, Oneida will follow [...]
With most multi-day passes hovering around $200, festival going definitely isn't cheap. Add in airfare, gear, hotel/camping costs, plus the price of 4-days worth of chicken pita, and attending more than one summer extravaganza seems daunting if not impossible. So North By Northeast 's (NXNE) $50 5-day 'Music' wristbands and $150 early bird 'Priority Pass' seem like a steal, considering the festival boasts 600 international bands performing across 50 venues in beautiful Toronto. Pattered after Austin's South By Southwest, NXNE is comprised of an interactive, film, and music segment, with various workshops, panels, and activities taking place over [...]
