click here for the new deerhoof long player, deerhoof vs evil.... another eclectic indie album that twists and turns and makes you hum and bop around as it jangles in yr ipod...... if only every band could muster this creativity and constant quality....
To this end, Ryan commissioned the talents of Daniel Fried (High Tension Wires, Bad Sports, Video, Wax Museums) on bass, Stephen Svacina (Uptown Bums) on guitar, and, to top it off, both Rutherford and Thorneberry on drums. The result? A band that features Ryan making decisions unilaterally, has two drummers and is pretty damn loud. "I really like the 'wall of sound' kind of idea," Ryan says. "Recording-wise it just sounds cool."
With a five-song EP currently out and a full-length album coming on Dirtnap Records early next year, Mind Spiders will continue to play shows and develop their live sound. As for Fried's reading of the previous shows? "The girls seem to love it," he says. "That's pretty rare for bands that I'm in.""
