Aug 11, 05:16 PMPlease Donate to the Kris Jensen Memorial FundHi everyone. This is a very sad message to write.
Last year we were lucky enough to tour Europe with The Parenthetical Girls, from Portland. It was a high point for us, spending time with Zac, Rachael, Eddy and Matt was guaranteed to be fun everyday. They all were so sweet and hilarious and incredibly talented. We missed them immediately after we parted ways.
We heard from Zac and Eddy this past week that Rachael's family had been in a horrible car accident. Tragically, she lost her mother. Her father and two brothers were in intensive care and are now in the early stages of their recovery.
Several benefit shows will be taking place to help the family with the financial burden of medical bills and there is also a site where you can make contributions via Paypal if you can.
Deerhoof will be part of a benefit show very soon as well. We'll keep everyone updated when a date is set. Please visit the Parenthetical Girls website for information on upcoming benefits and how you can make donations.

Thank you all. Deerhoof

Nov 14, 01:45 PM*** Tour Videos Part 3Fall is the best time to tour so a pattern in emerging. For the third year in a row we've played on Halloween. Two years ago the beautiful japanese ghost costumes satomi created for our toronto show were in shreds by the first verse of the first song. then last year in london, the third arm on john's chef outfit kept interfering with his playing, and the costume eventually fell apart. But to quote Darth Vader this is the first time we can claim the following result regarding our costumes: NO DISINTEGRATIONS! we found the lion and tiger heads in the middle of the night at an otherwise perfectly normal truckstop in indiana after the bloomington show. my mouse costume came courtesy of our openers Fertile Crescent, AKA Sara and Eben, the same pair who made our "family of others" video. also included is an amusingly out-of-sync tidbit from the next night in orlando. check it out...

Nov 04 2008, 01:59 PMHappy Election Day!Hi, everybody -- Just wanted to drop a quick line and say hello on this election day! We have the day off in New Orleans. Ian and I went for an amazing walk through the french quarter today. It's hard not to love all of the brightly painted buildings and wrought iron. Best exercise of the tour so far! Everything has been going great. The only bummer has been that Flying's van broke down after the DC show (but no one was hurt!), and Eliot decided to go back to New York for financial reasons. The upside is that Sara and Eben were able to borrow a car and continue the tour as their duo, Fertile Crescent, and they are amazing!
I am attaching a photo of Josh (taken I believe in Chicago, though I can't remember for sure), who came to something like 5 shows on the tour, the first one being in Seattle. He's the first Hoofhead ever! Thanks, Josh! it was such a pleasure looking out and seeing your smiling face in the audience for all those shows. And thanks to everybody else who has been coming to the shows, as well!! We have never had such an incredibly friendly, excited audience in all our years. You are the best!
Looking forward to the rest of the south and southwest shows! Tonight, we'll all be following the election with fingers crossed. Tomorrow, I hope we'll be celebrating with the audience in New Orleans!!!! Please vote!

Oct 27 2008, 09:54 AM* Sara's Video For "Family of Others"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHrrDGIhwGE
Eben Portnoy and Sara Magenheimer shot "Family of Others" through a beautiful old compound microscope at the Cape Cod Coastal Laboratories in Truro, Massachusetts.
Culled from local water samples, the cast of non-actors (microscopic plankton, crustaceans, and fly larvae) perform miniature domestic dramas in lush and grainy digital vignettes. Under the peeping eye of the lens, small mundane encounters and daily movements escalate into a choreographed dance extravaganza of Busby Berklee-esque proportions.
Sara and Eben are musicians and media artists currently on tour with Deerhoof as members of the experimental-pop band Flying. They are also on the road this fall with their new project, Fertile Crescent. -
