Deerhunter, Times New Viking, Nite Jewel, Bad Scanning.

Moses of Deerhunter

When Bradford Cox took the stage with Deerhunter, the concert turned into a trance of solid bass and drums surrounded by ambient music.

"I've never understood ambient music," said Cox, "I can't figure out if I play it, or if it plays me."


Josh Fauver

Deerhunter was a sound that could get in bed with both the lo-fi-keep-it-simple-ists and the psychadelian-ambient-adorned-rococo of the pedal endowed upper class.


Bradford Cox

They returned for an encore of two songs, after a short bathroom/feedback break, to the joy of fans and promoters of Rock Star Energy Drinks.


Adam Elliot of Times New Viking

Aerosol cans do to the o-zone layer what Times New Viking did to my ears.
In a good way.

Not a lot of people can do that.

They also blew the head off the guy in front of me.

Beth Murphy

They opened with Adam playing the drums standing up and Beth playing keys on top of Whitney from Deerhunter, who doubled for the keyboard stand.




Nite Jewel

Nite Jewel exorcised a surprisingly large amount of imagination from those machines.
