DEERHOOF (London Bush Hall, 28/07/25)

Very pleased the final gig of my thirties featured a band that encapsulated so much what I love about live music- energy, eccentricity, chaos, intensity, dazzling musicianship...and small Japanese ladies bopping around whilst a long-haired, wild-eyed octopus man erratically attacks a drum kit to basslines and time-signatures both genius and insane. More of this as I move inexorably towards my dotage, please.
