Deer Tick-Live at the G-Spot (Wye Oak CD Release Party)
April 12th 2008, 7:38 AM | by Greg Szeto | |
Find the audio from Deer Tick’s set as MP3s after the jump or here as FLAC. They opened second for Wye Oak, after Musee Mechanique at the G-Spot.
Musically they killed it, nothing really original but very solid country-influenced rock. Bassist was a face-melting phenomenon, a musical force of nature. The only downside was that I found Deer Tick’s singing voice irritated me. Mostly because I sensed it was induced rather than natural, which might be completely off-base. In any case, I’m sure that perception would change after extensive listening, but I’m not sure I’m convinced that sort of acclimation is worth the effort. They did, however, perform a hilarious cover of “La Bamba.”

While I liked Deer Tick, I got the impression the crowd was paid to cheer for them.
