Posted on: February 27th, 2009 Deerhunter Rocks SF’s Noise Pop Festival
“Every year, I try and see at least two Noise Pop Festival shows here in San Francisco,” writes Juxtapoz managing editor, Evan Pricco. “I have great memories of seeing Britt Daniel of Spoon performing solo with just guitar and a 1990s-looking boombox (you know, the ones that had the subwoofer speakers on the sides) that he used the same drum beat for about five songs, and it was brilliant.
“For 2009, Noise Pop opened the festivities with an ‘it’ band. It being Deerhunter. Deerhunter is popular with the same people who would have liked My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive in 1991. That is, people who like pop that is swallowed by ethereal and sometimes static noise. I’m one of them, and because I was 9 in 1991, my parents wouldn’t let me attend MBV shows, although, and somewhat alarmingly, I was allowed to listen to ‘Doggystyle.’ I digress.”
