DEER TICK (London Borderline, 01/12/09)



Their infectious country-rock may appal those who find derivativeness anathema to their being, but Deer Tick’s rip-roaring show certainly entertained despite a lack of new ideas. Lively and slightly lewd, they made several jaunts into the audience and closed with an a capella number where they marched through the Borderline, invading the toilet and merch tables before winding their way back to the stage. Even better though were supports Megafaun, a chirpy and likeable trio who are basically Akron/Family without the more infuriating flights of self-indulgence.
