Dizzyingly creative, genre defining, idiosyncratic-yet-unmistakable dream-pop alchemists Deerhoof play at Independent in Sunderland on Tuesday 26 June 2007, as part of a tiny UK tour in support of their recently-released ninth studio album Friend Opportunity, arguably their finest yet, which, at a point when most artists would be either a shell of their former selves or relying on formula, underpins their status as one of the most fascinating and forward-thinking bands of our generation.
"Deerhoof are the best band out there right now. They are better than your favorite band. If your favorite band is Deerhoof, they are better than you think." - Pitchfork
"A force of nature, obliterating and oddly nurturing... an aesthetic assault as sneaky as it is fundamentally devastating." - The Wire
"Sensationally exhausting, eminently diggable" - Mojo
