San Francisco, United States (1994 – present)
The group began as the brainchild of guitarist Rob Fisk and drummer/keyboardist Greg Saunier in 1994; early releases, such as 1995’s 7”s The Return of the Wood M’Lady and For Those of Us On Foot, had a more traditionally harsh, no wave-inspired sound, though they also included the quirky tendencies that dominated their later efforts.
Vocalist/bassist Satomi Matsuzaki joined the group in time for 1996’s self-titled double 7” on Menlo Park, but other members passed through Deerhoof, including Chris Cooper of Angst Hase Pfeffer nase. The following year they released their full-length debut, The Man, the King, the Girl, on Kill Rock Stars and the Come See the Duck 7” on Banano a year later. Fisk left Deerhoof after 1999’s Holdy Paws, an experiment that saw the band trying to write songs that favored composition over individual sounds, and pursued similar ideas in his solo work and in Badgerlore.
Halfbird, which was recorded before Fisk departed, was released in 2001, after John Dieterich was recruited as Deerhoof’s new guitarist. That year the group also released the My Pal Foot Foot 7”, a cover of the legendary Shaggs song, that also appeared on the Better Than the Beatles tribute. In 2002, the group released the critically acclaimed Reveille; 2003’s Apple O’ followed soon after, and also featured auxiliary guitarist Chris Cohen (The Curtains). Their fifth album, the much more cohesive and focused Milk Man, appeared in spring 2004.

Amorphis92 i feel the need to share one of the best interpretations of what their music is like: "Post-post-ironic; so far into the irony that it comes out at the other end as pure sincerity." :D

leercup Amazing gig in Auckland. Gregs bloody setlist is a testement to their live performances

rukiren So quirky and perfect. I really like I Did Crimes For You.
-
DrMaxChill Ponytail is close, they have similar sounding guitars
-
OneDrunkWalking Sauniers drum style could be described as "extreme minimalism" (paraphrased from USAISAMONSTER drummer Tom Hohmann - "He's always been a minimalist")
-
Chilou Hella fits the bill exceptfor the quirkiness
-
Saled_Burnette can anyone suggest some music thats kinda like deerhoof at their heaviest? like i totallg dig the drum breaks, mathy time signatures and sub octave guitar sound. PLEAASSEEEE :)
-
apathic @The_Wirftgu - As far as I'm concerned, a different singer would most likely make them sound boring, which will in turn make me lost all interest in them. It's not just the music, it's the music combined with the vocals that make them so unique.
-
The_Wirftgu I think this band could do better with a different singer...idk this chick sounds corny as hell...like on Panda Panda Panda
-
kirkfgylling I've heard they put on really good shows so that's what I'm expecting
