More Adventures in Suspect Video: Beirut, Deerhoof
While I'm feeling half-assed, why not raid the cupboard for more footage from the base of the new camera learning curve? I haven't gotten around to a full write up on last Sunday's free show at the renovated McCarren Pool in Brookyln, but I was there!
Beirut - "Scenic World"
Beirut have opened for half the bands playing New York this year (see here and here), and I'm not sure I have anything left to say about them. They looked a little scared shitless by the thousands of people standing in front of them, and sent out their red shirted designated clown to bomb badly in the banter department, but they did well for themselves in general. Here is "Scenic World", only recently added to the band's arsenal. Transposed to xylophone and violin it has sort of a bouncy feel akin to some of the Islands' material. The drum sound is a little crunchy, and we're working on it, but it doesn't detract too much. Cuts off towards the end because it was just too much for the Tube to handle.
Deerhoof - "Twin Killers"
I do have much more to say about Deerhoof and we'll get to that soon, but for now this is what you get. We tried something different and the sound is better, but haven't cracked the mystery of how to film in zoom without losing resolution and making it all fuzzy. The huge riffs are pretty clear.
