DEERHOOF add 2008 Tour Dates, answer "Why Obama?"

July 29, 2008

Deerhoof @ Prospect Park on 7/18/08 (more by Kyle Dean Reinford)

“For me the thing about Obama is I really like the way he talks. In the Demo debates it would be someone talking gibberish, then someone else countering in gibberish, then he’d start in and suddenly every word made sense.” [Greg Saunier of Deerhoof]

Cute little bludgeoners Deerhoof, fresh off their Prospect Park appearance with newest member Ed Rodriguez (of xbxrx, Iceburn, etc), have announced a US tour with Experimental Dental School including two NYC shows. Those are at Irving Plaza on October 22nd (tickets) and at Spiegeltent on Oct 21st (no tickets yet).
