From Across The Pond: Photos and video of The Walkmen and more from Pitchfork Music Festival Paris

Our contributing writer / photographer Rachel Barrish is studying in Rome this fall, and this past weekend took the opportunity to head north for the Pitchfork Music Festival Paris. From Rachel:

I was in attendance on Friday evening with featured performances from Tallest Man on Earth, The Walkmen, Wild Nothing, Animal Collective, and more. The festival took place at the Grand Hall de Vilette, a large auditorium fit with two stages on either end. The room was filled with people excited and eager to catch their next favorite act.

Check out her photos in the gallery above, and watch a video of Tallest Man on Earth playing “Revelation Blues” below.

This Weekend’s Concert Picks: Deerhoof, Dr. Dog, Wild Nothing, Creeping Weeds, Writtenhouse, Rhys Chatham

Deerhoof

Deerhoof performs 2/11 at TLA

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11
It’s been just under nine years since Deerhoof released Reveille—the album that would thrust the band into indie-nation’s collective consciousness—on Kill Rock Stars/5RC back in 2002. Since then, the band has cranked out records like clockwork, with seven additional proper full lengths (not to mention 7-inches and EPs) simultaneously confounding and pleasing fans of the band’s fractured art rock. Deerhoof’s latest album is Deerhoof Vs. Evil, and it finds the band doing what it does best: trying not to do the same thing it did on the previous album. Of course, that’s a task that gets more difficult each time around—and, by the time you’re on your 11th album, it might seem near impossible. Vs. Evil is undeniably a Deerhoof record: you’ll hear elements of the band’s previous work (broken down and rebuilt from the ground up, but familiar nonetheless). But it can occasionally be difficult to convince yourself that Vs. Evil is the new album Deerhoof really wanted to make, and not just the collection of ideas that was left over once the members of the band scratched everything they didn’t want to do off the list. Deerhoof performs with Ben Butler, Mousepad, and Prowler at Theatre Of Living Arts at 9 p.m.; tickets to the show are $15.
