Hey Wolof. Did you see that Jonny Dorndawg and Ian O'Neill are playing a free show in Providence tonight?
Ruckus thanks for the heads up.
I am definitely gonna do my best to make that. ;D
Still Hopin for a last minute Deertick NYE show announcement!
Can you make it to any of the John/Ian run?
;D I assumed you already knew about it. It just came across my facebook feed so thought I'd post it. When and where else are they playing?
John McCauley and Ian O'Neil of Deer Tick have announced some 2011 tour dates for the east coast. Most of these venues are pretty small so this should be a great tour.
JOHN MCCAULEY AND IAN O'NEIL TOUR DATES
Fri-Jan-14 Boston, MA Middle East Upstairs
Sat-Jan-15 Providence, RI Met Café
Sun-Jan-16 Northampton, MA Iron Horse
Wed-Jan-19 New York, NY City Winery
Thu-Jan-20 New Haven, CT Daniel Street
Fri-Jan-21 Philadelphia, PA First Unitarian Church Santuary
Sat-Jan-22 York, PA Strand Capitol Performing Arts Center

Hey thanks Wolof!
Either Philly or DC is doable but with football playoffs and all, it might be a little tricky. Definitely inform us of how the local gigs were.

Loved it! Thanks for posting Wolof. Was familiar with McCauley's drumming and piano skills as well as O'Neil's pipes (I loved the track when he sang last time I saw 'em) but I had no idea big Ryan can sing like that. Yeah he was clownin' a bit but there was some legit soul behind that voice.
What a multifaceted, talented band!

ian and john did this at their show in dc, plus the replacements' "can't hardly wait" and an ironic "all apologies." (i think john's gettin a little tired of the cobain comparisons). ian led off with a cover of bob dylan's "he was a friend of mine." it was an exceptional show. wish y'all could've been there. maybe you were
Here's a cool interview with Ian. Looks like we will have another album within the next year or so.

I don't know slim. They still bust out their Deervana thing and it seems like the set at SXSW was off the hook. So funny to see thirty some year olds letting loose in the crowd like this! ;D ;D There's also the great part during the Lithium video posted below where some chick in the crowd is like, "they're so bad ass." Dude's like, "me?" Chick's like, "well you too, but them."

Deervana is playing Brooklyn Bowl in June
Saw on their facebook that they had tracked 10 tunes for their new album including a metal track that their drummer sings. Because Black Dirt Sessions felt like a transitional album to me, I can't wait to hear what direction they go in whenever they decide to release the next album.
I hope that those going to the Met tonight have a rockin' ole time! :beer:
I still plan to go tonight, but I was re-thinking. The Met website says JOHNNY CORNDAWG with Michael Hurley, deer tick in small letters. See the top left corner of
http://www.themetri.com/ (http://www.themetri.com/)
Surely Deer Tick isn't opening for Johnny Corndawg?!? And I thought it was the other way around last time I looked a week ago. I will have to call the venue and see... not sure I will make the trek if I'm just getting an opening act.
If anyone else from the forum is going, please seek me out and say hi. I'll be in an it still moves shirt.
I am trying to make this happen but have the same feelings Mahg33ta. Actually, I would definitely go but I am swamped with work as I am transitioning jobs and may have to extend my workday into tonight :thumbsdown:
I was wondering about the order as well. I do think Corndawg is headlining and that Deertick is probably supporting their friend/trying out some new stuff. If anyone finds out a definite set order, please post.
I am not missing the J Roddy Show and will be getting my tix this weekend although I'm sure it won't sellout. Wondering if the Independent Man is John M? There is no band website or myspace and I've never heard of them/him. The independent man is the man who sits atop the RI state house tho so I'm assuming the act is local.

Deervana is playing Brooklyn Bowl in June
I've known about this show for awhile but waited until now to try to buy tickets. SOLD OUT, didnt see that coming ecspecially since it's billed as a "Deervana" show.
FYI to any that care (maybe just Wolof at this point) - Deer Tick is OPENING tonight - on stage around 9 pm - setlist 30 - 40 mins... according to the venue.
I think I'm going. Bummer that'll be 30 minutes, but I'm jonesing for some live music, and at least I'll be in bed at a reasonable hour :-\
thanks for the info mahg33ta but I'm prob sittin this one out for the reasons stated above, just got too much goin on tonight. I've seen the tick a million times and considering it'll take longer to drive there than the set will last only for me to try and make it back home to finish up some work, tonight is one I'll have to sit out....I know, excuses excuses. Have fun :beer:
You still considering J Roddy?
So I did indeed make it there - and got my first taste of Deer Tick live.
The plan was a 45 minute drive there and back, catch the 40 min Deer Tick setlist, and be home by 10:30. My wingman bailed on me but I pressed on. Boy did the plan get f-ed.
First opener was Michael Hurley. Wasn't expecting that! He was decent and enjoyable... frankly didn't know much about him, but wiki'd him today... pretty damn impressive for a 70 yr old... his lyrics that I could catch were pretty funny, and he's definitely a character. Saw one review of him called a "poor man's Jimmy Buffett" and that's not too far off, with a much bluesier edge.
Next on ... Johnny Corndawg ... (aka The Headliner according to both the website and when I called the box office) - Hurley played an hour (!) and Corndawg came on at 10. WTF? At this point I was committed, so of course had to stay, but realized I was in for a late night. Corndawg was... interesting. he's so darn sincere I don't know if it's a straight-faced act or this is who he is. But the crowd loved it and it was certainly entertaining.
Deer Tick came on around 11 and played for an hour and a half. Definitely worth the wait. The place was rocking, everyone was really into it, seemed VERY intoxicated - maybe that's typical at Deer Tick or maybe I noticed it because I usually am too but was sober last night... Reminds me how much I like small bars with the crowd interaction, unscripted fun including goofs and start-overs, etc... way more interesting than seeing some big band play a 17k arena but put on basically a highly choreographed broadway show. Loved that they played a ROCKIN Authority Song, mellencamp cover – made me feel old to realize ½ the people around me (college age) didn't know it.
They also mentioned that they were currently in the studio recording, and that this one-off gig was an attempt to play some new stuff to a home crowd. So, 4 of the songs were brand new – to me as a first timer, I'd have liked to see a few more of the "oldies". Still, it was neat to hear them for the first time... the first new song, perhaps called "starting over" was a song they recorded THAT afternoon at the studio so as he said, that's as new a song as you'll ever hear besides improv.
The last new song ("Let's go to the Bar") was a real rocker – reminded me of "I Wanna be sedated".
Ruckus had warned me to get psyched for Mange but wasn't prepared for how chaotic the place got. The pit turned crazy which included me since I was one deep from the stage. I felt lucky to get out without injury. John McC was drop-kicking open beer cans into the crowd. One came whizzing back and nailed him in the head. Another, which was a fastball not a blooper, hit the backdrop above the drummer's head and exploded. Much stage-diving occurred. Stage got decimated – guitar thrown to ground, drum kit knocked over.
No idea why the website and box office both said Deer Tick was first. I probably would not have gone if I had known they weren't playing til 11, but glad in retrospect I did as I got 90 mins of Deer Tick instead of 40. Late night though.
Setlist:
Easy
Choir of Angels
New Song (starting over?) w/ Corndawg
Ashamed
New Song (Love is a Funny Word)
Baltimore Blues
Now It's Your Turn
New Song (Ms K?)
Authority Song (Mellencamp cover)
Diamond Ring (solo)
New Song (Let's go to the Bar?)
Be Kind To Me (Michael Hurley cover)
Mange
Wow! Awesome review gh33ta! Makes me jealous and reminds me of how much I love them live. They are an amazing cover band with quite an expansive repertoire and they always throw you a curveball. It wouldn't have been rock n' roll if your plan didn't get totally f'd! ;D. There's no way I would have survived the pit sober. I'm surprised they didn't play that Middle Brother track that Corndawg penned.
I'm starting to feel fortunate that I saw them when I have because it really seems like the 1st album is becoming 'rare' but the new stuff you described sounds exciting.
Don't miss JRoddy if you can help it. 8)
Thanks for the review. Definitely bummed I missed out but weeknight shows have become a hard thing for this 9-5er (and beyond). Knowing the tick, I figured even a 9pm settime didnt seem definite. I am prepared, however, for J Roddy and am ready to go all night :beer:
Deertick are in fact usually drunk...At least MacCauley. It's a problem for some but he really embodies the rock n roll lifestyle of yore. He seems like a smart dude, hopefully it won't get him into too much trouble down the road, however a little bit o trouble is what rock n roll is all about, ain't it?. Awesome you got to hear the new stuff. They are really just a fun ass band to see live, love when they do Authority Song, and Mange is f**king crazy.
...they are awesome guys too...I have a small connection to the band as I went to HS with Chris Ryan, he was a year behind me but I was good friends with his best friend at the time, he was in all of my HS gf's gifted classes, they were supersmart and nerdy :P. He would frequent my ultimate frisbee club I started with my friends, really nice guy. My fiancee was good friends with Chris' roomate from 05-07 so we reconnected a bit at that time (in fact one night, she drunkenly kicked down their apt. door, long story).
....One night we were all heading out to a party from this apt. and I briefly caught a glimpse of Chris and John playing guitar in the kitchen with a near-completed bottle of Jack Daniels playing a song which would come to be known as Ashamed. No embellishment on this, I wasn't too interested by this scene as whenever I ran into Chris he was playing music. In high School he was in a band 'Ophelia' and they were awesome, played a few of our dances. Had I known they were gonna form a super awesome band, I woulda stuck around longer... I've run into MacCauley several times since and he is super nice guy and always seems to give his love to the fans.
Anyone know when that Deertick Doc will see the light of day? It was made pre- Ian O Neil so it may be a bit dated at this point.
Mahg33ta, I just figure McCauley was doing Hurley and Corndawg a favor by announcing they were the opener for a hometown 10 dollar show, essentially guaranteeing a full house for them for exposure.
Awesome story about Ashamed Wolof!
re: Ashamed, John said before playing it "I can still picture the condo I wrote the song in" last night - coincidence, huh? He didn't mention remembering wolof walk by though ?!

Haha that's pretty weird, I cannot claim that it was written in my presance I guess, as it was a dank apartment in Providence we were hangin in (it could never be passed as a condo) but I can assure you I saw the song stripped down and being played in its most early stages for around 42 seconds before we left (like idiots).
Generally Tick shows have not surpassed $15 even in Providence, the highest I think was like $22 and that was Deertick, Middle Brother, Dawes. The last 3 shows I don't believe I've paid much more than $12. Not sure if that is the prices round all the states but I like to think that the 'Tick keep it cheap. :thumbsup:
However we also have super cheap venues like AS220, the Met and Firehouse 13 which Deertick play often....I mean J Roddy for $8 sign me up all night

he might have said apartment, actually. Anyway, funny that he did mention that. His comments by and large were pretty funny. He also loved the "beer spritzer" where he sprays a mouth of beer straight up and back onto him to cool him down, or out into the audience. I totally get the comments from some of the reviews that he looks more like the guy having fun at the keg party, not the professional up-n-comer musician, but I enjoyed the vibe. I suspect he was less hammered than usual, not that I've seen him before. He was pretty coherent.
thanks for the review, mahg33ta. sounds like an incredible time. last time i saw a full deer tick show was in bloomington, indiana and john introduced "authority song" as "a song by one of indiana's favorite sons" or something like that. they really ripped it. they also tore petty's "breakdown" a new one. he made sure to point out that he was glad to be back in the town where he came up with the band name. i tried to convince my now-wife (then fiancee) to learn the liz izenberg's part of "friday xiii" so that she could try and convince the guys to let her get up and do it with them. i told her, "this is the last chance we'll get to convince them to play our wedding," but she wimped out.

There is no band website or myspace and I've never heard of them/him. The independent man is the man who sits atop the RI state house tho so I'm assuming the act is local.
turns out I'm going to need a babysitter if I go to this (wife has something that night), so I was doing a little more research on this idea. If it was John M opening that would for sure push me off the fence.
The idea has extra appeal because the following night, Deer Tick is playing in Portland the following night, and Joe Fletcher & the Wrong Reasons are the opener - which is the other opener Tuesday night at Met w/ Roddy. But, after researching some more, I've concluded The Independent Man is somebody else. I found
http://www.myspace.com/theindependentman (http://www.myspace.com/theindependentman)
and thought well maybe it's a side thing he's doing.... but listening to the song, it's definitely not John M. Oh well.
Love the Deer Tick stories. I still havent seen em live (come to the Burgh!), but I had no idea about that Deervana deal. They actually cover them them really well, and I would definitely pay a decent buck to see them cover Nirvana with Grohl on drums and playing gtar on occasion

Have they been playing full Nirvana sets at other shows or was Roo the first time?
Also, were they "advertised" for that set/show as Deervana or did they pull that out of nowhere?!
Deervana, from what I remember hearing, started as a yearly bday party gig for a friend of the band's in Providence, prob just 2-3 yrs going now....
I believe they played a set at SXSW this year and heard it was crazy. They did it again at Bonnaroo and have one scheduled for the Brooklyn Bowl in NYC coming up (or it already happened) I believe.
It's a rare occurance, something I have yet to see, but have heard its pretty legendary.

The Bonnaroo set was unannounced. I missed it. Their real set was awesome though. They covered The Replacements "Waitress in the sky" and "La Bamba". I don't know if that's common or not, it was my first DT show, but it was great. I did see a secret Justin Townes Earle show in the air conditioned Ford tent though. Sat about 2 feet in front of him and bullshitted with him a little. It was awesome.
So I was watching Hall Pass (loved the movie ;D) on my flight across the pond yesterday and it opened up with Art isn't Real and right after goes into a bit of Houston, TX. Put a big drunken smile on my face. I had no idea that so many of their songs made the soundtrack of this Oscar worthy film.
Free Show in Providence next friday at Waterplace park!!! We are definitely spoiled here in Providence with all the Deertick we get....This makes up for being on call at the ER for the booze cruise show in Boston the night before.
I plan to be at the Friday show too (if I survive the booze cruise)

Lupos show was GREAAAAAAT!!! New stuff rocked! They played around 5-7 new songs, 2 of which sang by Ian. All of which I enjoyed immensely.....very much in the vein of rolling stones/ ramones/ classic rock vibe...I know for sure they played 'Let's all go to the Bar' and 'Main St.' Wondering if the opener was 'Rump?' it was really good!
They played a solid 2 hours w/ 2 encores, the audience didn't let them leave...

that's a badazz shirt. I almost picked it up at the JRoddy show too, got the patch instead...bad move, what the hell am I gonna do with a patch?
OK, so since IMO Middle Brother is one of my top albums of the year so far, and I only really knew Delta Spirit, I bought my first Deer Tick album. Flag Day. Damn, this is really good. OK, now I gotta catch them live. I might be a little late to the game, but this is something I gotta check out. Time to learn more.......

Bout frickin' time Jeff! Man I love these guys. I always thought you'd like them considering some of your tastes that I'm familiar with. I'd go War Elephant next as that is a masterpiece IMO. Seriously, if you got BOFD on vinyl, is there a greater side 1 you've listened to in recent memory? Simply brilliant!
They are evolving rather rapidly, particularly since they changed guitarists and it seems like MacCauley is allowing for a lot of creative input from everyone now. Cannot wait for their new album.

Definitely go for War Elephant next...You'll find it focuses more on MacCauley's singer/songwriter side which is not a bad thing. Lotsa tuneful ditties which have become canon.
The Black Dirt Sessions was definitely a transitional album as Ruckus remarked in an earlier post. It came out without much fanfare/publicity and consisted of mostly leftovers from flag day. Still some good stuff on it tho...they only play 3-4 songs from it live and you'll hear why. It additionally was the transition from Andy>Ian on guitar.
Since then they have added a keyboardist/saxophonist who has clearly rounded everything out in the live setting. It seems like this new album set for an October release will be something special and sounds like they were influenced from all over the musical map.
Ruckus- You have always proven to be a wise sage (and good concert buddy to boot).
I will order War Elephant today.
Jeff-
You are definitely not late to the game. I agree with what the others that War Elephant is essential listening. I love when an album has so many good songs that your favorite keeps changing over time.
On the "how many times have you seen MMJ" I'm amazed by the people who list 30 - 40. I try to fit in as many as possible and still only 3 -4 a year is realistic. As I read their gig lists, the secret is to get on the fan train while the band is still regional (for example, for MMJ their were countless KY gigs in the early days). Since I've been on a Deer Tick tear (5 months or so) they have played 6 gigs within 90 minute drive. It's a little better for me than you since they are Providence-based but they are touring hard, and that's BEFORE the new album comes out. FYI they play 3 shows in NY state in the near future (7/15, 8/11, 8/28).
I am a little less optimistic than Ruckus about the direction of the next album, based on the new songs I've heard live (4 I think), but I'll wait and see and hopefully be pleasantly surprised.
I realize I haven't chimed in since the boat cruise, besides posting the setlist (which was written on the back of a Panera bag lol). It was a great time. The setup was awful (no stage), so unless you were up front, it was impossible to see anything. And the boat was packed and impossible to move around. So we got upfront and parked ourselves, at the expense of a good drinking night. It was one or the other. It was a lot of fun. They played their Xmas song, which I didn't recognize, but understand now it's a bit of a rarity. But all the regulars were great. Easy is such a great song to get the crowd going.
I did not make the next night in Providence, although fully planned to. I had my 8 yr old in tow and we planned on hitting the free concert in the park (would have been his first concert). I even managed to secure some preferred viewing passes through WBRU, so I was pretty pumped. But the weather f-ed up our plans and when they moved the show indoors to Lupos, I decided not to go. Not ready to bring my son to a bar. Sounds from Wolof's report that I missed another good one.

Can't believe you don't have that on vinyl! I don't care about seeing them live, I've been dissappointed twice and find him annoying but LOOOOOOOVE their music. Great songwriter.
MIDDLE BROTHER is still my favorite album of the year other than Isbell.

;D Have you ironed it onto your Jansport backback from undergrad? At least it'll remind you how much money you saved at the show.
Glad you got up front for the booze cruise mahg33ta. My short ass would have been at the bar the whole time. Yeah that setup is rather odd.
And Headhunter: Do not let Penny taint your perspective on your 1st show to be. She's such a hater. I love that they don't bang out a predetermined setlist in order like robots (DBT) ;) but resort to juvenile shenanigans and unpredictability.
I love their version of Cheap Sunglasses

No, I didn't see it. I had no idea who they were so prior to the boat cruise I did a little googling / listening to figure them out and stumbled on their At Dawn cover. So I posted a request for that song on their facebook page for that night but they didn't oblige me.

I've seen Penny at about half a dozen shows in the last month (including a few dbt gigs). "Such a hater"? ;D Will see Ms. Penny Lane tonight at the Old 97's show and will "grill her" on DT experiences. She did give me shit before for not already owning WE. Gotta watch out for those rock n roll groupies.

Thanks Kyle -- I saw they are playing this weekend and I intend to catch them live in the near future.
I'm not a hater! I'm spoiled from going to see DBT and MMJ, the hardest working bands out there, where they actually try to put on a good show for their fans. If I was 22 again, maybe I'd enjoy watching a fall down drunk coast through a show playing 3 songs in 20 min talking retarded banter. Oh and they slowed down Ashamed to a mediocre sax version the last time I saw them. Why take one of your best songs and do that? It's 20$ and 2 hours of my life I want back. I'd rather head to HH's vinyl room and listen and eat cheetos or something. What annoys me is this kid has more talent than most musicians out there. Unlimitless potential...I'll continue to support their music but I'm just too old to deal with the live shows. I'd rather travel 4 states away (DBT) and hear 2 nights/6 and 1/2 hours of straight balls out rock from working musicians than walk a block and watch someone who doesn't care.
Maybe a bit of an old cranky hater.. ;)
PS MIDDLE BROTHER is awesome.

Well, I've been lucky so far I guess, or maybe they've matured a bit (when were these events?). I've seen nothing but normal, full setlist / shows.

Deer Tick fans. This band seems like a band I would love because 1, people say fans of Lucero will be a fan. (I love Lucero) and 2, I'm loving the Middle Brother album. Where with Deer Tick should I begin?

Without a doubt get their 1st two, preferably in order. War Elephant then Born on Flag Day. Interesting because I could never get into Lucero. Either way, if you dig Middle Brother and like McCauley's voice, I can't see how you won't enjoy these two albums.

You made the right choice g33ta if you had your 8 yr old. I saw a grouping of people who had kids between 3-7 y.o. there and it totally didnt work, they looked miserable and had to leave early....It was really loud, reallly dark , really long and really packed, near sellout.
It was a great set, not the best I've ever seen tho....
...Penny I understand your argument. The band has a fly by the seat of their pants vibe live. I do not think they are as drunk all the time as people (myself included) believe them to be. However, if you catch them on an off night, it can be a disaster, I've witnessed this once with them in '07(?) and it wasn't pretty...In fact, I almost wrote them off, thinking the band was a mistake and john should have kept going solo, but now, I digress.
I for one love the spontaneous vibe, however, if they want to work larger rooms/sheds/amphitheaters, they will most likely have to tighten up their show. I believe if the music is good enough, it can happen without taking away the excitement of the spontenaity < that word is hard to spell......

Dont love it, but its solid and has a different sound for them that has me intrigued.
I also almost bought that JRoddy shirt, but didnt because Im a cheap bastard, then a couple months later bought a similar looking shirt at a Delta Spirit show (and coincidentally wore it to the next time I saw JRoddy and he asked me about how I heard about/got into DS)...Now that tha Biz finally have a site and a merch section, I'll probably snag it. Tis a sweet shirt.
also I hate to admit it but I still dont possess War Elephant or the Middle Brother album...shit, what happened to being able to change font size around here, I wanted to make this small.

I had to. It was that awful an experience.
This is a delayed response, but I just found this on youtube and it has SBD audio. Bonnaroo was my first Deertick show since they never head southeastwards, but this was the moment that sold me in a big way.
I don't know if they're always this powerful live (and judging from Penny's comments theyre not ;)), but the emotion in this one almost knocked me over.
Deer Tick - Houston, TX (Live from Bonnaroo 2011) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwPr1YqJxH4#ws)
Now you got me watching all their Bonnaroo videos ;). Really good quality. I'm a fan since I saw them a year ago or something. I didn't really know them before I saw them live, I couldn't get used to his voice I think. Their show was great back then, they weren't that drunk (yet), because it was an early show on a festival. Crowd was much smaller than on these Bonnaroo videos, think they're really unknown in Europe. But it was a great show which turned me into a fan. Since then War Elephant is one of my favorite albums of all time :). Also later on that festival Phosphorescent was playing and at the last song of the set (think it was "Los Angeles") the guys of Deer Tick joined them (very, very drunk now ;) ) and they jammed together. That was really one of greatest thing I've ever seen live. Loved it! It was such a small crowd and these guys really loved doing what they were doing. Really good to see! Since then I haven't seen Deer Tick again, hopefully they will come back to Europe soon :)
I would kill for a Phossy/Deer Tick bill. :thumbsup:
They were finally announced for the 930 club on Oct. 16th. Psyched! Its been 5 months!
daytrotter announced their barnstormer series continuing, kicking off in NH w/ 7 more dates to follow (see bottom of page) looks intriguing

For sure g33ta, this was some good stuff.....I know people don't prefer the slowed gospel version of Ashamed but I feel like it is definitely solid, espescially Rob's saxaphone solo.
I like how you can get visuals on MacCauley's silver tooth....who the hell does that anymore? he is one interesting fellow...straight baller!
Can't wait for tomorrow it's been just about 1 week under a yr since my last jacket show and it's definitely high time to rejuvenate my soul with some jacket goodness!
Great vid wolof. That's a version of Ashamed I can get behind! McCauley really brought it for the cameras on this one. They keyboards have added so much depth to their live sound. New album can't come soon enough.
I agree - I've been in the Ruckus "no slow ashamed" camp. But that something completely different - soulful and interesting. I just don't like the funeral dirge ashamed. That was great and the sax added a lot. I love his expression when he runs towards the camera after jumping off stage. The guy's certainly crazy.

I couldn't agree more 33. This is hard for me to call you that as a Laker fan where ironically the owner of that number had 3+3 rings unlike the one in Boston. I digress. I should point out to Wolof that it's not necessarily the pacing that bothered me. This arrangement and McCauley pouring it all in there makes it. The funky/soulful keys and sax are a bonus. Just like the solo Houston, TX from Roo that Easy posted, I got no problems with that style.
Also, the now standard acapella version of Dirty Dishes they did during that NYC show with the momentary crunching guitar interlude was sweet. Found that on Vimeo as well from a fan cam.

Yeah man, I've been keeping tabs on this project. It sounds amazing! I mean even its subpar, I can't see them fucking this one up. Also with Rob the sax player/keyboards and Brian Dufresne from Six Finger Satellite I believe. These are all bands I love except for Six Finger and though they cover a wide spectrum of styles, they are all unpretentious rock n' roll! John's got a lot going on. I wish he'd just bust out a couple of full length Tick albums close together though.

thanks again for this good info. In my two shows recently, I think I can say I've seen 6 of these songs. The Bump, Let's Go To the Bar, and Now Its Your Turn I've seen twice (the latter has Ian singing) - and I saw Miss K, Walkin Out the Door, and Funny Word once (the latter was introduced as Love is a Funny Word in May). Looking forward to more live shows. I just downloaded Miss K to review some more.
i have seen all but 3 of these songs......im still really fired up...supposedly dennis the drummer sings on one of the songs

Since HH, Mahg and i were wondering about this earlier, maybe ALady will know..?
how is Phosphorescent opening for them most of this tour without Matt H? Weird..
Yo Ky! I think we might be heading up north on 83 to see them in York on Saturday for a non DC crowd and so I don't miss Sunday night football. Ahh, maybe I'll do both shows :(
This is like deja vu with the Middle Brother tour. I hope this album leaks or I'll be seeing new songs again that I've yet to hear.
I hope their Philly University show is like their show at Swarthmore College a few years back. Drank with them in the parking lot, cost maybe $5 to get in, tiny tiny venue, student bands opened, drank my own beverages in the place. Crazy night.

I'm hitting 2nd stop and 2nd-from-last stop
Unfortunately won't make the met shows as we will be honeymooning but considering the Boston and NYC shows, I got friends in the Big Apple who are already committed, unsure I can clear Monday from work, its not looking good but I'll try....
....Also Alexis and I are definitely going to try and gain entry into the Divine Providence listening party this Monday at the as-yet-undisclosed bar in Providence, I'll let everyone know how it goes!
boston show is a co-headline with the Felice Brothers!
I'm going to hit up the Boston show instead of NYC show to see The Felice Bros---that club show I saw them do together was incredible (I think Mahgeetah and bold99 will be there, too) I can't wait for this..
I'm definitely going to do Philly... and I'm thinking about that final show at Webster Hall... a trip back to Philly after a Sunday night show in NYC might be a little rough though. :-\

I bought my tix today- I will be there. I plan to do a run-by arm pump in honor of Dan giventofly, space permitting. I am not as big a fan of Felice Bros so the idea of a dual headlining is not as exciting. But I just got the new album and am open-minded so maybe this will be a pleasant discovery. But i'm also hitting pawtucket on 10/13 to make sure I get enough Deer Tick goodness. And, I LOVE that venue.

I'll clear some space for you for the GiventoFly run by!
Ruckus is right, they are so good live..
wolof--look forward to finally meeting you!
Spoke to these guys the other nite in maine before their set at barnstormer...and they all said this is by far their best "sounding album" production wise and that they can't wait for it to come out...also dennis the drummer told me he wrote and sings on the song "clownin around"......so fired up for this album
I'm guessing Ian sings on this too. Seems like from what John has been saying Deer Tick is def becoming more of a "band" where when he started it was kind of all him. I'm pumped for this album and tour. Going to Boston and I'm going to try and hit at least one of the Met shows in RI too.
Ian sings on at least 3 songs
stoked these guys are getting some love on this board. to me, there's yim and there's john mccauley III, and there's everybody else.
me and the lady are headin off to the 'Divine Providence' listening party!!! :thumbsup:

nice - cant wait for the full report!!!
very curious to how the song dennis sings sounds...please let us know...im sure its an excellent album
At the Middle Brother show I went to, Dennis sang on a cover of "Bring it on Home To Me".
He actually has a great voice...very good backing vocals

yeah dish it when you get around to it!
Lots of fun last night prob around 60 people fit into this living room of a bar. The whole band was in tow....Based on first impressions everything that was said about the new album from the band is true..."most cohesive," "most representative of their live sound," ""best sounding," "not alt-country." Its a great record and prob will be my favorite Deertick album. Of course these are first impressions. It is reminiscent of Rolling Stones/Tom Petty straight ahead rock with a general pop-rock with balls sound.
01. The Bump - "got a lust for life" opens, "we are full grown men, but we act like kids!" Love this song, does not vary much from the live recordings I've heard and that's ok by me.
02. Funny Word - This one may be better than the live versions I've heard, a 5 minute rocker with a pretty progressive step for the band as songwriters/rockers imo.
03. Let's All Go to the Bar - This one speaks for itself, it translated really well to the album, the band's attempt to add some punk to their rep., the 2 bartenders working the bar last night sing in the chorus.
04. Clownin' Around - Dennis' song and its frickin awesome, couldn't make out the lyrics but I was expecting a metal song on his turn as singer but this is actually more alt-country leaning, think their Friday the 13th, its an acoustic strummed mid-tempo song, with some hot sauce!
05. Main Street - This one is my vote for early favorite, great tempo
This is where things get more fuzzy:
06. Chevy Express - I think this is Ian's first turn as singer, good stuff but can't remember much.
07. Something to Brag About - I think this one is reminiscent of Straight from the Storm, some rockabiliy sounding singing/solos
08. Walkin Out The Door -I think a mid-tempo song sung by John definitely good but don't remember it well
09. Make Believe - DT's most dancable track, Definitely Tom Pettyish, this one may be my favorite too!
10. Now It's Your Turn - This is Ian's ballad type song with some hot licks during the solo, really great track
11. Electric - Slower John song, ? if its just him with keyboards, nice song
12. Miss. K - Pop/ rock greatness, great melody, great chorus!
All in all a supremely solid album. Purists may have complaints about the "better production" compared to their more loose sounding albums but to me it definitely does not sound overly produced and all songs have gusto. This is prob their best effort, time will tell. It is certainly a step forward for the band as songwriters imo. The addition of Rob on keys/sax is a major addition!
Really love the Bump....heard that at Newport. Can't wait to get this album.
They are doing an acoustic show this saturday in Providence for a charity.
live stream Friday at noon

by the way, I never thanked you for this great review. I really appreciate the time you spent to type this up. Made me get excited for the new album
listening to the live stream now. John sounds awful. He says he's sick. Also said they have to change the key on songs so he can sing them and that's screwing him up. One song they stopped. In general not a great showing for the boys, I hope they pick up steam soon!

Sucks the show was lackluster, they'll be back at it this fall im sure....thanks for the kindness around the review, I'm thinkin this album will be on par with Flag Day

it was only 7 songs, 33 mins. ashamed, 4 new songs, and 2 covers (waitress in the sky and be kind to me). still, enjoyable enough on a work lunch break for sure!
To me, what will make or break the album are the lyrics. I thought the first album had great lyrics - really interesting stuff (ashamed, dirty dishes, not so dense which is my sleeper fav) but with each album they've gotten a little more straightforward and generic.
I know you couldn't tell so well in a bar hearing for the first time, but that's what I'll be tuned in to.

Capt's right, but you should get all their albums..there aren't that many and they're all good..
I haven't confirmed this but I heard that the boys will be heading the last "First Thursday in the Park" free concert at our Mt. Vernon park on October 6th. I lived right next to that park until this April. Bummer I can't walk. Nonetheless, if this is true, freakin' fantastic news. I've requested off already so I can hang out all day in the most beautiful area in B'more and catch a short set by them before they hit the road for good.
According to Pollstar, they just announced a show in St. Aug Fl a couple minutes down the road from me. Cant wait to pop my Deer Tick cherry!

Yeah, listening to this right now. Good for them to showing up but probably not the best idea to stream this in hopes of gaining new fans. At least they made it a point to keep John's singing to a minimum though I have to say I've enjoyed the even more frail and tortured sounding vocals.
Their philly show isn't on their tour page anymore :-\
New album is interesting. Very obvious punk influence, at least on 3 or 4 of the new songs. Ian sings on 4 tracks, one of which is basically an 80s power pop ballad... strange to hear from this band.
Standout tracks: Miss K, Lets All Go To The Bar, Main Street, Clownin Around
There are some weak tracks but nice to hear some new Tick.
Standouts - Clownin' Around, Main Street (reminds me of Soul Asylum), Chevy Express and Make Believe.
Chevy Express is so unique. So few vocalists can carry a tune by himself like that
Chevy Express, Miss K, Something to brag about
(overall I miss the acoustic sound but this will probably be a grower, much like the Wilco)
After the first three upbeat ones, the Clownin Around > Main Street >Chevy Express sequence just sucks the air out of a room. :o
The guitar-work (Funny Word, Something To Brag About), lots of keyboards, Ian singing - I need some time to grow on it, but I like the newness!
Chevy Express and Main Street are my favorites so far.
Is there a stream i can listen to somewhere or did it just leak? If it did leak... who wants to give me a good link.
How the hell have you guys heard this?...I need to hear this asap
I'm not in love with it after a few listens....def some good songs but nothing has really blown me away. Need to give it a few more listens.
How are you guys listening to this?
Now that's how it's done. Just ordered the Tickhead package: CD, Limited Edition vinyl, mp3, tshirt and signed poster for 54 bucks including S&H. Still pisses me off that MMJ didn't offer a CD + vinyl package.

guess that means you got it. ;)
affirmative
8) gotta love the internet
can anyone hook up a link for this thang?
Word. :)
I am loving this album..but no way this is a mastered recording
I think it is....I think that is kind of the sound they wanted..more like their live shows. I'm not in love with this album but they are a live band for me. I haven't really loved anything since War Elephant.

agreed. That album is great - each of the others has about 1/3 songs I love.
After to listening to this a lot over the weekend, I'm a little disappointed. Not apparant to me what will be longterm keeper fan-favorites.

They always have one or two songs that are great live...I've heard "Let's All Go To The Bar" and "The Bump" and they work well live but yeah I'm not really big on this album.
Finally got around to listening to this. Its no BOFD or WE, but Im enjoying it after a couple listens. It sounds like how I would imagine their live shows sound and is a real fun listen.

their tour schedule is brutal. 14 straight shows with no off day. I'm not sure I've ever seen a run of dates that long without a break.

awesome ;D
anyone going tonight or tomorrow?
if anyone DOES go to any shows... mind writing down the set list? I'm preparing for my first Deer Tick show next saturday in Nashville. Have to say Tick is the only one of the three Middle Bro gang that I'm not obsessed with yet.

I am going tomorrow and will report back. If it helps, here are the two shows I've seen recently
April: Easy, Choir of Angels, New Song (starting over?), Ashamed, New Song (Love is a Funny Word?), Baltimore Blues, Now It's Your Turn, New Song (Ms K), Authority Song (cover), Diamond Ring, New Song (Let's all go to the bar?) // Be Kind to Me (Michael Hurley cover), Mange
July: Bump (new?), Easy, Baltimore Blues, Miss K, Smith Hill, Walkin Out That Door (Ian), Old shoes (chris paddock), Main St (new?), Spend the Night, Little White Lies, Christmas All Summer Long, F Word (new?), Ashamed, Now It's Your Turn (ian), Let's Go to the Bar, Shotgun Blues // Serve The Server (Nirvana), Christ Jesus, Mange
I don't know the new songs at all yet. 2 things I'm hoping for are a Nirvana cover and a Middle Bro song, as well as any song off War Elephant
Look forward to your review Kyle. When are you really gonna be able to tie one on for a Tick show.
We decded to go to the York, Pa show since it's a Saturday in a venue I've never been to. I'm intrigued because the Strand is an ornate, historic theater that is seated yet the tix say GA. I've never seen them in any setting other than dirty, dark clubs so this will be interesting.

this show will be a relatively sober affair too (so I should have a thorough review and setlist)
Next Deer Tick, however, will be Nov 18th and that's a birthday celebration for me w/ a few friends and mrs magh33ta, and I'm not driving, and I'm taking the afternoon off work get a jump.
Well, I survived another trip to the Met in Pawtucket. Left house at 9:30, arrived 10:15. Deer Tick played 10:45 – 12:40. Home and in bed at 1:30.
It was much of what I expected. Some drunken rowdiness. Random craziness. John was pretty gonzo – he sprained his ankle shooting a video and was on lots of painkillers ("luckily I have a VERY generous doctor") and he seemed a bit glassy eyed and out of it. At one point he promised to French kiss, on stage, anyone who brought him a double ketel one and tonic w/ lime. He got about 8 of them (kissed all the ladies), then lined them up onstage to cut through them. Anyone in the front row who wanted some- he'd fill up his mouth with booze and transfer to a woman, or pour from high above into a guy.
They are known for pretty short sets but tonight it was 2 hrs, 25 songs – by far the longest I've seen them. That's the good news- if you'd told me 25 songs, I would have been thrilled. BUT – that's 10 songs off the new album, 8 (!!) covers, and only 7 songs from all the old albums. Definitely a bummer. From the new (unreleased) album they played everything except "let's go to the bar" and "electric" (which IMO is a snoozer). Of the 10 new songs, I have to say, now that I have the leaked album and heard them live.... Not a huge fan... many seem pretty generic, boring, straight ahead rockers. Definitely a bummer.... I always get to a stage in my band love that I long for the old stuff; can I be there already with Deer Tick, whom I've followed for less than a year? The Bump and Miss K are new songs and great live. And I heard Clowning Around for the first time, which is the song about a serial killer that the drummer sings, and that was cool.
8 Songs in, we'd had 5 new songs, including 4 I thought were so-so (something to brag about, love is a funny word, make believe, walkin Out that door), and I was thinking uh-oh this night is a dud. But things definitely picked up in the middle, and Clowning Around, Ashamed, Smith Hill, Sunshine of Your Love was great run that was well worth the admission. Smith Hill is a fantastic song live (whole place belting out "I could drink myself to death tonight, I could stand and give a toast...").
Sometime shortly after this some crowdsurfing chick landed on the stage and rolled around a bit. She then got up and gave John a hug and did some incoherent mumbling into the mic (something about her friend "J.T"). She left but not before stuffing the band's shared setlist down her tanktop I think in an attempt to invite John to get it. She got pulled offstage by security and I'd say the night went a bit downhill after that. I'm pretty sure the band couldn't really remember what they'd played or not, so they started playing covers, which were good, or at least interesting (the beatles, Dylan, some GnR before he admitted he didn't know the words and the guitar player said "good, didn't want to get to the solo!"). Baltimore Blues and Art Isnt Real were two well needed blasts of fresh air from War Elephant. They KILLED them and honestly if the whole concert was this good it would have been epic. 20 Miles was great too. The covers were clearly audibles and were "fine", but since they are known for playing all kinds of random cool covers (much appreciated Sunshine of Your Love), it was a bummer that 3 of the covers were the same as I heard on the boat a few months ago (shotgun blues, serve the servants, waitress in the sky). I see what else they play sometimes – springsteen, la bamba, Maybelline, authority song....
I'm pretty sure that the setlist had "Easy", "Bar" (let's go to the?), "Mange" as a 3 song encore. Not completely positive, as I was 2 deep in the crowd and there was only the one setlist in the middle of the stage in front of the drums. But I think that's what it said and for sure there were 3 songs listed below a bold line. Instead at some point the guitar player pointed out what time it was – the band had clearly lost track – and they went into Mange, no encore 'leaving and come back', and that was it. Easy would have been great and Lets Go To the Bar at the end would have been a singalong.
So that's my report. In rereading, I'm sounding more harsh than I mean- I had fun for sure... Mange was great... but the night tried my patience a bit, maybe just because I was tired and sober. I talked to a guy who was there the night before- no dirty dishes either night. They did play easy and Not So Dense, which is my favorite "deep track" and would loved to have heard, but he said they had more energy our night. Don't blame them as playing a gig hours AFTER playing on national TV after drinking all day must be heard. Spin reviewed the first show and pretty much said that. John had a funny rant towards that Spin guy last night which was pretty funny.

Nasty setlist....Love the cover choices, but youre probably right that you missed out on a few older songs because of the setlist pilfering
One after 909 (cover: Beatles)
Had to be worth the price of admission. Had to.
Thanks g33ta :beer: I was worried about his pill consumption after the sprained ankle. Hopefully they have something in the tank for this odd show after philly and before DC in a seated theater.
This will be the first time for me seeing the new songs but I, as you, hope that they reach into the back catalog some more.
that sounds amazing. CANT WAIT to travel to nashville for MMJ and Deer Tick in one weekend!
on a side note, I watch this video over and over to laugh at John saying "you're welcome" and then goldsmith and vasquez just sigh.
'Thanks For Nothing,' Middle Brother: Rolling Stone Live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2qHuwr0fpI#ws)
Kind of funny that John was so out of it for your show, because he was stone cold sober for the show in philly last night.
The show was a school sponsored event for students at UPenn. It was held in a beautiful auditorium at the Penn Museum, so no beer or other goodies at this show. There was an opening band that seemed to cater to the kids there... poppy rock and all their songs followed the same basic format. Mid tempo, power chords, some harmonies, quiet piano part, build up, then singing the chorus again. Every. Single. Song.
Anyway, deer tick missed out on them because they were stuck on traffic, were forced to basically do soundcheck in front of everyone, and John made a comment about being "sober and miserable". Despite that, it really was a good show. Played a whole bunch of the new stuff, including Dennis' song. About halfway through the show a roadie came out with about a half dozen red solo cup of beer, John seemed to perk up. They came out for an encore of Nirvana's "On a Plain" and "La Bamba".
If we are listing videos that always make us laugh....

It's all a bit hazy but we all had a great f'in time at the Tick show in York. The venue was great, they all sounded great and McCauley's ankle seemed fine. Talked to him before the show and he looked as burnt out as ever. Interestingly enough, it was a seated GA show but there was a small pit up front that held about 3 rows deep. The show concluded with many people getting on stage and singing Let's All Go to the Bar and other stuff. John passed his guitar into the crowd so we could strum it yada yada great drunk fun for me.
Also, there was this guy wearing a Mexican wrestler's mask and cheesehead who I was kiddingly messing with because he didn't really seem to be a Packer fan and me being a Bears supporter, I couldn't resist. It wasn't Halloween anything, just a dude seeking some attention. Well after the show, while I was waiting outside for my girlfriend and friend who were using the bathroom, the same dude came up to me and said, "Hey you want my hat?" I said sure, took his cheese head and chucked into the middle of the road. He ran out to the middle of the road, got his block of cheese and told me how uncool that was. Hey Cheeseheads! Stop offering your cheese to Bears fans ;D I was going to go get it BTW.. ::)
;D You did the right thing. But think how bad you would have felt, had he been taken out by a garbage truck
so the new songs sounded..? who all got on stage w them?

The new songs sounded OK but they really mixed it up so I never was too bothered by them. I went to the bar during Chevy Express and the bartender poured me another triple shot of vodka (filled up a low ball to the top I swear). I don't remember the exact order of songs after that. They did B'more Blues, Easy, Ashamed and an acapella Dirty Dishes after my girlfriend obnoxiously screamed for it between songs for 3 consecutive songs.
I mean the new songs are OK but besides Clownin' Around, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it as much had it not been for the all day celebration of distilled potatoes. My girlfriend definitely was onstage ::) :bath:
thanks for the report Ruckus. Deer Tick is always an interesting night, that's for sure!
A few reviews of the album are popping up on the web. Most seem pretty positive....
album is getting better and better. chevy express is sick
Any of you MMJ / tickheads near knoxville want a free pair of deertick-ets to tomorrow nights show @ buckhead theatre? Bought 'em and can't go .... If you take them just to sell down there , then a curse of a thousand nickelbacks on you.

Anyone on here order one of the deluxe preorder packages for Divine Providence? I am wondering what the song is that you get on the CD single? It says "brand new unreleased track".
I really like the new CD, but I think track 11 Electric is a huge dud that kills the flow of the album. I like these guys a lot and, being from MA, I love the fact that they are local(ish) - but dropping $50 or $100 for one song that may or may not be any good is not something I'm gonna do right now.

I ordered the tickhead package. The digital download I got was the same as the leaked version I had with only the Mr. Cigarette hidden track at the end of Miss K. You say it's a CD single? Anyways, if it is included in the CD when I get it, I'll happily send it your way if you haven't gotten it by then.
Thanks Ruckus. I was just going by what it looked like on their website, and when you read through the package it sounds like you're going to be getting a physical CD single in there too. But it is entirely possible I am just reading it wrong.

I read it that way too Brother Beck so we shall see. It might be "Born at Zero" which is a song they've played a bit over the past year but didn't make the album. If you watch the "making of" video clip further up in this thread it is in there, so they definitely recorded it!
I still don't know how born at zero didn't make this album...I read somewhere aboute another b side coming out....I want to say it is called circles or something?
My bad its called walls not circles

I don't care for pitchfork because of all the music 'fans' that flock to see the new pitchfork acclaimed band that disappears after one album if only for the reason that they may have tried something different, regardless how soulless the music may be. :-X
It's crazy how influential they are.
BUT, they are spot on with this Deer Tick album. I think it's pretty bad

I have grown to dislike this album too... just way too many "skippers"
If anyone wants Virginia Gal, the CD single PM me. I'm sure a torrent of it'll be available soon as well. It's so much better than most anything on Divine Providence. Bluesy with jam potential
cool poster IMO

also, for anyone else going to the Boston show, I confirmed while at the venue that Deer Tick is going on last. No opener either which is good news (didn't need a 3rd band w/ Dawes / Blitzen). Rough times are going to be doors 6, Felice 6:45, Deer Tick 8:00 but final times will be posted on the Bowery Boston facebook page within a day of the concert or so.

K-I'll be there. I'm coming into town Thurs night for the DBT show so I'll already be there..probably right at 6. If you and Mrs. Geetah are in town early, let me know. :)

deer tick / felice in Boston was great last night. Will report fully later.
Crowd was good, setlist was perfect (both songs I've never heard and wanted to hear, I did), good to see Ms Penny Lane, on the rail, Mrs Magh33ta scored the setlist, cool poster.

can't wait to hear, glad you enjoyed the show, sorry I couldn't make it, can't wait to see them Tues with the Barr bros, I will report on that show on Weds.!
What a great show! DT covered the Replacements Bastards of Young and sang Something in the way with Felice Bros. Great sharing the rail for a bit with Mahgeetah and the Mrs and their friends Zach and Sean Riley. What a great night.
Deer Tick Boston:
I've been on a bit of a Deer Tick bender – 4 shows in 6 months. And I can happily say that I'm Done with Deer Tick for a while – not because I'm sick of them. Quite the opposite – Friday night's show was so enjoyable, so satisfying in every respect – the company, the crowd, the setlist, the shenanigans – that I can rest. There were 2 songs I had not yet heard and wanted to – got them both! Like eating a great meal – I am content, full, satisfied.
Pre-game with some food and drink at Rock Bottom down the street from the Royale. Felt a little crazy to be pre-gaming so early, but that's the life of a 6 pm show. Walking there, I noted that there were 4 people in line at 4. That put a thought in my head that people were serious about this show. Great to see Penny Lane (4 states and counting!) and spend some time hearing about her whirlwind 3-night tour. I love hanging with people more hardcore than me because I don't feel so crazy. Our waiter was a big MMJ fan from Kentucky which made for plenty of good conversation, until I told him "I wish you were coming to the show tonight" and Mrs Magh33ta told me to get a room.
"Doors open at 6" apparently means 6:40 which made for a long wait once we got to the venue. Luckily Sean Riley had secured a spot near the front of the line, which by now had grown longer. I felt a little jerky cutting, not a lot, and figured I'd better get used to the feeling in case the opportunity arises at MSG ;)
We secured a spot, on the rail, a little right of center. Actually, I was next to the 4 people who I saw in line at 4 pm who were dead center on the rail. That gave me a little thrill, as if I'd stolen 2 free hours of food and drink and still ended up right where I'd have been if I'd gotten in line at 4 pm.
I had been listening to Felice Brothers on heavy rotation since this show was announced, and knew S/T (that's self-titled BTW), Yonder, and Celebration pretty well. I had not seen any live / youtube so I was pretty interested to see what they were all about. I had a great time and would definitely see them again. They did seem to play more of their uptempto stuff, which is the stuff I like more – and I'm not sure if that's always the case or because they only had an hour set. But I did peek at some older setlists that had Wonderful Life, Murder by Mistletoe, and some of the new album slower tracks on them but they were skipped. Fine by me. The crowd was pretty into them and by halfway through their set the place was packed.
Deer Tick – what can I say. The pessimist in me was expecting a short show- 1 hr ish – likely packed with songs from the new album, which I'm not a fan of... But instead we got a fantastic show, plenty of oldies, some covers, collaborations, etc. The boys were in fine spirits (when I saw them in Oct in RI they were much lower energy). There wasn't much banter or silliness between songs, but I think that's because they knew they had tight deadlines (see the setlist pic and a big "Be Swift Gentlemen!" written along the side).
In terms of setlist, it started strong and never looked back (The Bump, Easy, Baltimore #1). There were plenty of new songs, but never took the wind out of the show for me. Maybe they were better spaced, maybe I like them more. Most likely it's because although they played 9 songs off the new album, the 3 they didn't play are my 3 least favorites! (Something to Brag about, Make Believe, Electric).
John also mentioned his latest collaboration super-group Diamond Rugs and did one of those songs from the upcoming album early on and another in the encore. I liked em. I will see them on tour.
In terms of old songs, we got 8 – WAY more than I was expecting, and what an 8 it was. I couldn't have been happier (come to think of it I posted my fav 10 DT songs somewhere). The two songs I really wanted were Not So Dense and Dirty Dishes. The first one was nailed at the end of the set before Mange – a great 1-2 punch. Dirty dishes- what can I say - I guess a little cliched but I still hadn't heard it live. I had pretty low hopes at the end of the regular set, knowing it was 9:40 and we were approaching a hard stop. In fact, at that moment I was guessing a 1 song Lets Go to the Bar encore and out the door. WOW – nothing could be further from the truth. We got a SEVEN song encore, including an awesome 3-song stripped down set, 3 covers with Felice Brothers, and Bar to end it all in mayhem at 10:15, a massive curfew buster that had everyone stunned.
To start, it was just John and the keyboard player, playing another Diamond Rugs song called "Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant" or something like that. I REALLY liked it (youtube: "deer tick wellfleet christmas" for a clip of another time they've played it). Then it was a John solo Houston, TX – followed by Dirty Dishes, with the band rejoining one by one until they were all blaring by the end. Great, Great, stuff. It just felt SPECIAL. I guess because we knew it was curfew time, the fact that they kept pressing on and playing felt better and better. The covers were Something in the Way (Nirvana), Two Hands (Van Zandt), and Be Kind to Me (Michael Hurley), only the last of which I'd seen before.
To make matters even better, that whole 3-song start to the encore was an audible – NOT on the setlist (see below) but what a move – made the night even more memorable. Just so... .improbable!?
If there's ANY disappointment at all (and I'm really digging to find one), it's that I knew the ending "Let's Go to the Bar"s had been big parties lately, with the crowd joining the band onstage in a big free-for-all. I had warned Mrs Magh33ta and she said she was up for it. When we secured our rail spot, I figured this was working well and I was going to get come good footage of her and the band. But, because they were joined by Felice Bros and some other of their friends and entourage, nobody else joined and my plan fizzled.
I'm not quite sure what happened to Penny – I was worried she was swept away somehow but suspect instead she drifted off to meet other friends – she seems to have friends wherever she goes! But she was back with us by the end of the show so I could tell she was fine. Amy did manage to score both setlists – beginners luck I guess!!
We had an extra ticket and my good friend Zach stepped in- he is not a huge concert-goer and wasn't familiar with either band at all. But he's a good-natured guy and always up for anything, so he tagged along and had a complete blast. I think he saw how much fun this can be. He's now thinking about coming with me to MMJ MSG to try and re-capture the good times. Obviously Deer Tick is a different vibe than MMJ but I'm confident if we get him swept up in the GA West crowd he'd like it!
We probably should have called it a night once the show was over, but we stupidly decided to continue on to another stop. That's the mindset after a Deer Tick show. Not a story for the forums though.

Great to hear about the show! Also thanks for the reminder on Diamond Rugs. I'd kinda forgotten about them when I'd actually been looking forward to this album since I 1st heard of the collaboration

Haha I KNEW someone would beat me up for droning on about a bunch of irrelevant stuff. Didn't think it'd be you! I write these things for me, really- because my memory is not great and I enjoy reading them years later. I've kept a log of shows for many many years now (OCD sign I guess)... just started posting the Deer Tick ones here...
Awesome review! sounds like an awesome show, have only got Not so Dense at 1 show like 3-4 yrs ago, glad they are working it back in...
...it's funny when I geek out with other people who are as into music as I am my wife also tells us to "get a room" and she is usually at the show with me...
...I saw the felice brothers play 'Two Hands' at the NFF 2 yrs ago, even tho its bascially a hymn, its a fun cover...love me some TVZ
I, for one, am really a fan of Devine Providence. To me it captures all that shit that the Pitchfork reviewer was talking about... in a good way. McCauly is a creepy, insane, alcoholic. To me Devine Providence captures that. I love it. It definitely has a punk-esque sound, which is awesome for me. I grew up pretty much solely on punk shit like Black Flag, which i have grown out of since high school. (By the way, I'm sure the boys in Tick would agree with me, but having an album compared to/remind one of Damages would in no way insult. So, bravo Pitchfork!) To listen to a band I love now do stuff similar to that is really fun for me.
I hate Pitchfork with all of my soul as well. Any music media source that hates on the vast majority of popular bands but will accept a bag of pubic hair from Animal Collective has gone astray.

ha that's pretty great...I really enjoy the album too, it's cooled off a bit and some of the songs, i don't love, but overall i really enjoy it...I mean the Bump, come on, great track!
Great recap, Mahgeetah! Yes I wandered back..also because that area got infiltrated by some 'catskills' people (I'm going to stop at THAT)..i missed that diamond rugs stuff, glad you mentioned it. I'm still more blown away by the Felice Bros but am growing to love Deer Tick more and more. LOVED the Townes Van Zandt cover! Had forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me of a great night. Loved the Kentucky waiter, too..ha ha...we could have had a threesome in that room...

Diamond Rugs is another of John's side projects. See:

Penny, the night we saw deer tick in Boston, they did 2 of their songs- one called Big God with that tall guy who came on and played guitar (from dead confederates), and that Xmas song that started the encore.

agreed. given that these songs came from the same sessions that produced Divine Providence, it's hard to understand how some of these didn't make it over some that did (specifically tracks 8 - 11 all all skippers IMO)

I'll say it again. Walls, Born on Zero, and Virginia Gal should have all made the cut on DP. I don't know what I'd cut though. Probably 10-11 just to keep it pretty rock n' roll all the way through. I think Make Believe is my guilty pleasure. It reminds me of Bon Jovi and that's a good thing. 8) Had the 3 EP songs been swapped in for the above mentioned and maybe the Ian song or Let's All Go to the Bar (which I love live), DP would have been in my top 5 from last year instead of being just another album from one of my favorite bands.
A few northeast dates have popped up on the calendar. 10/13 in Saratoga Springs.... hell yes. :beer:
Deer Tick at Sinclair in Harvard Square on New Years Eve this year. So pumped. To be honest I was looking for a good excuse not to deal with going into Boston for MMJ and this is def my excuse.

I bet the Carnegie Hall show is going to be a trip. Can't wait to hear all about it. While I'm a fan of the drunken buffoonery and am the lucky recipient of a smashed guitar part, it's nice to hear they're toning it down a bit. I'm sure their livers will be thanking them.

Liked it a lot. At first I thought it sounded like some older Deer Tick song that I just wasn't familiar with. I've given it a few listens and I really dig it. One of JM's greatest strengths IMO is his ability to come up with phenomenal lyrics. I need to really flesh out the two new songs here to see if they measure up!
Does anyone know how to record audio off the internet? I would love a copy of this. Ain't every day you get some listenable live Deer Tick ya know.

I'm typically not one drawn to a band because of their lyrics but I do love JM's. I think I like the second song a little better but overall enjoyed both. It's just ridiculous what a prolific song writer he is. I hope they put out some other random EP soon such as Tim.
In response to your question, I use the Firefox add on You tube Enhancer. I'm sure there are others but I find this one to be great. It blocks all ads and you can download in mp3 and various video formats.
Here's the unsplit mp3 file of the London show. Nice to have live Deer Tick to listen to, particularly when there are two new songs.

Thanks for this, Rob. I'm stuck with no Deer Tick on the ole work laptop. Thankfully, sendspace downloads sneak past firewalls; no such luck with mediafire.
This is an exceptional recording.
If you're a member of Daytrotter, today's session is Deer Tick, and you can download it for free. Membership is only $2/month and there are tons of cool bands/downloads every month. A great way to check out new bands (many in this sort of alt-country-ish vein.)

Me and Penny Lane are going to the DT shows at Brooklyn Bowl. Who wants to join us?
I have to coordinate my work schedule, but I'll definitely be going to at least 1 or 2 of these, hopefully all of them
Think they'll sell out soon?? I'd rather hold off a few days on buying tickets
i bought ind'l tix for nights 1 and 2 and then the (thanks, brooke) MGR of the Brooklyn Bowl sent out an email saying TicketNow would refund and we could purchase the 3 day pass (only $47!).
Most likely going to all 3. Very very happy!!~ Complained (mostly to Ruckus and HH) that i hadn't seen DT in 2012 and now it's 4 times in Dec!

So how was the BOFD show Brooklyn peeps?
Rob, the first show was excellent fronted by Hollis Brown as an excellent opening act.
I was there with Penny Lane, Brooke and Mahg33ta. Born on Flag Day found the boys in good spirits in front of a full crowd (I think I was the oldest one there). John was very sober and the band was less raucous than the last show I saw at the late show at Newport Blues cafe after the folk festival but much more in their element than their short gig at Forecastle when the sun was still in the sky.
They played about 5 tunes from War Elephant during the encores; Brooklyn Bowl is an excellent venue for them.
This was my 3rd DT show this year with 3 more shows to go until the new year.
Thanks Rob for turning me onto these guys awhile back. Love their albums and even better live.
AGREE about Hollis Brown--don't miss these guys---an Americana band from Queens---they covered Neil Young---reminded me of The Band but the singer sounds like Delta Spirit guy.
Ruckus, I sent you that video of the song they can never play? Did you get it? Great show---in love with this band now/wish i could teleport myself to see them open for MMJ then get down to DC to see them open for DBT...I know I was slow to warm up to them but since they have their partying under control, they put on such a good show, a lot tighter.
A girl threw her bra on stage so he wore it on his head for the encore--it was hard to take him seriously doing a solo 'What a fool am I' ...
Liz Isenberg couldn't be there so early in the night he tweeted for someone to come up and sing with him so a girl in audience got up ---it was heartfelt to see it.
Great show---haven't heard some of those songs ever or rarely..
HH and I were very pumped to get the first posters (100 limited edition)..cuz we're geeks like that...

You may as well get all of it. There's not much. War Elephant and Born on Flag Day are definitely more of their groovier alt-country vibe, Divine Providence is their punk/Nirvana influenced album, which I love. Others are not quite as into it, but I absolutely love it. And IMO, Black Dirt Sessions is just a masterpiece. So melodic, so engrossing...close to perfect. And the EPs are really good, too.
Also try JM's other projects, Middle Brother and Diamond Rugs. That'll keep you busy for a while!
I have a feeling the DP night is going to be plenty raucous...probably saving the crazy up for that night.
I, too, wish for a teleporter. Super super jealous of all the kick ass music going on the eastern seaboard this month!!!
It was a good show. Not the craziest or most fun, but a solid, entertaining show w/ some good friends. For me, the draw was to see Born on Flag Day in its entirety. Like you Ruckus, that and War Elephant are by far my favorites, and I got to see them play WE straight through at Newport. So after this show (#9 in 1+ yrs) I'm feeling pretty content. For completeness sake, It'd be good to see the Black Dirt Sessions because I've never seen any of the 2nd half of that album live (when she comes home, hand in my hand, i will not be myself, blood moon), but I'm just not as passionate about those songs.
The setlist was:
Easy
Little White Lies
Smith Hill
Song About a Man
Houston TX
Straight Into a Storm
Friday XIII
The Ghost
Hell on Earth
Stung
La La La
Dance of Love
Axe is Forever
Goodnight Irene
------
Standing at the Threshold
Art Isnt Real
Spend the Night
These Old Shoes
What Kind of Fool Am I
Ashamed
Interesting that the entire encore was War Elephant. Was lovin that!! My guess is because they are playing the 3 albums in entirety over these 3 weeks, they've divided up the WE songs into 3 encore setlists. We'll see - headhunter or Christine, let me know. If so, you'll have seen all 4 albums over the 3 shows.
Penny Lane already touched on some of the memorable moments. The audience member who got up to sing was very brave, very good, and very well received by the audience. Him with a bra on his head was pretty damn funny. Looked like a big bra IMO. John had a wry intro to Dance of Love that this was recorded by the previous guitar player, we said we were playing everything, guess we gotta play it... as if he was none too pysched. I actually like that song and it was a treat to hear it. He had the lyrics written on paper at his feet (I would like to have gotten that but he threw it into the crowd).
Hollis Brown was a very entertaining opener. Good stuff. They did not play the one song of theirs I would have recognized- Spoonful - so that was a bit disappointing. The recorded version has McCauley on vocals so it seemed like it would have been a good likelihood, but nope.
also of note was that Ian ONeil, Deer Ticks guitarist, was the first opener. He played 6 songs, 4 of which were Deer Tick songs, so that was a super-nice bonus. (Walking Out That Door, Now It's Your Turn, She's Not Spanish, and Hope is Big)
* interestingly (to no-one but me), I've heard 2 DT songs at all 9 DT shows I've seen: Now It's Your turn and Ashamed. I had heard them at all 8 prior to this show and was expecting that streak to end, but got them both. Not that I care about such streak, but this is the annoyingly dorky shit I amuse myself with.
It sounds like it was an excellent night! I would have loved to have been there. Thanks for reporting back to us.

I think Ashamed is their OBH---which was why (RUCKUS!) i was so dissappointing at that Maxwells show when they slowed it down with saxophone, etc....definitely an awesome moment with the crowd.
Thanks for all the awesome reviews guys! Even you PENNY! And Jeff please don't thank me. Thank slimsloslider who started a thread on these guys months before BOFD even came out. That was my introduction.
And zanjam...I get the punk thing with DP because of tracks like Lets All Go to the Bar but I always felt War Elephant was very grungy as well with tracks like Standing at the Threshold and Not So Dense along with the emotacular lyrics.
Does Walls sound very Nirvana? Born on Zero very Bruce? Love is A Funny Word very Stones? And then that song towards the end of DP that reminds me of Bon Jovi! Ha!
When I saw DT a month or so ago, they didn't play Ashamed, and I was sad.

I know, as I wrote that I was thinking about how their influences are really all over the place, but I think the reason people don't love DP as much as the others is b/c of Lets All Go to the Bar, maybe The Bump, I don't know? I've read a lot of reviews and it gets pretty ragged on. But Chevy Express, Electric, Miss K are pretty far from punk, and some of my faves on the album. But then again, I like pretty much every thing they have every put out. :smiley:

I hope standing next to me was all you hoped it would be :kiss: First time hearing In Bloom and Born at Zero for me so a very satisfying opening setlist to say the least.
I definately enjoyed this band at PC and would like to try and hit up a show or two when they are touring again. I thought Walls was the highlight of the set list for me, but I haven't really listened to much of thier stuff prior.
another new song:
New Song (The Unknown Face) - John McCauley of Deer Tick @ The Columbus Theater || 1.12.13 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7ArgOF8uMg#ws)
Today for the first time ever I started getting Born on Flag Day songs on my Pandora station. :cheesy: But it still doesn't come up on Spotify. :angry: Anyone know what the deal is with that?
New album looks dark! :cool:
Deer Tick frontman John McCauley is well aware that his band's last album didn't go over particularly well with many longtime fans. The 2011 LP, Divine Providence, was a loose, hard-partying collection that the singer says mirrored his life at the time. The forthcoming follow-up, Negativity, is more of a morning-after album.
"It's a very dark record. There's nothing silly about it," McCauley tells Rolling Stone. "It seems pretty focused, too. I think anybody that thought we lost something with Divine Providence will probably like this one."
John McCauley on Deer Tick's New Album and Deervana
Deer Tick spent a month in Portland, Oregon, recording Negativity with Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, with whom McCauley first collaborated in his Diamond Rugs side project. The band presented Berlin with demos for close to 30 songs, and he chose the 12 he thought were the strongest. McCauley credits Berlin with helping the group hone in on the essence of those tunes.
John McCauley of Deer Tick at Audible Alchemy in Portland, Oregon.
Tim Putnam
"He really trimmed the fat from all the songs. He was very much about, 'Let's get to the point, and focus, and kind of forget everything else,'" says McCauley, who adds that Berlin's hands-on approach took some getting used to. "I'm not going to lie – it pissed me off sometimes," he says. "But it was good, it was a good experience for us. We've been pushed a little bit in the past, but this was a whole new level of that."
Though McCauley has always written songs from his own experiences, he had more material than usual to work with: the singer split up with his fiancée a couple years ago, and he watched his parents' marriage fall apart – developments that took a while for him to be able to write about.
"I think I kind of went off the rails a bit after that," he says. "I fucked a lot of girls and did a lot of drugs and didn't really think too much about how I felt about it. And then once I kind of pulled myself out of it, I was able to finally reflect on it and get my shit together."
The album, due late this summer or early in the fall, includes breakup ballads, a song about smoking crack that McCauley says is "very autobiographical" and a duet, "In Our Time," about a crumbling marriage that features the pop singer Vanessa Carlton. McCauley met Carlton through their mutual friend, Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket, who played drums on her 2011 album Rabbits on the Run.

Tim Putnam
"We started trying to write something together, and it just really wasn't working, but I had this song, and I thought it would work well as a duet," McCauley says. "We kind of became really close friends pretty quick. She's a wonderful singer." The album also includes contributions from the Grupo Fanstasmo horn section and lead guitar from Jimmy Russell of Portland rockers the Quick and Easy Boys.
Together, McCauley says, they helped Deer Tick apply the rollicking immediacy of Divine Providence to songs that have more in common with the band's earlier work. "It's a little closer to our earlier records, but any Divine Providence fan should appreciate how we can still keep it pretty rocking," McCauley says. "I kind of consider it War Elephant's evil twin brother."

Kind of a Love Reign O'er Me vibe no? Such a different power in what I assume is (not) John's voice.
I'll be at Mnt Jam tomorrow. Will report back.
that new clip was a tease! such a good sound though.
Fuck, that was an effective tease. I want more.
Been listening to Divine Providence a decent amount lately. Its not bad, I think its more just disappointing compared to their first couple albums. Miss Kay will probably stick, but with these guys, who knows. I certainly wouldnt complain if I heard Funny Word, Lets all Go To The Bar, or Main St as filler at a show, and most of the other guitarists songs I like, but I guess most think if its not McCauley its sh...
How did I miss this?!?
Deer Tick at the Flying Dog Brewery a half hour west of me. Good music and good IPAs. This is a no-brainer. Anyone else going?

Hey it was great hanging out at the shows last weekend, Ruckus! And I think I saw more of your backside than your mug, anyway :grin:
They put on a typically great show last night. The venue was a little bar that is clearly not meant to have live music so the sound was pretty muddled. It didnt matter though, the place was packed and rocking. They played probably 5 new songs, a Warren Zevon cover (Play It All Night Long, so fucking rad), and ended the show with All Apologies which was a nice little Deervana surprise. John brought out Vanessa Carlton, who he's apparently dating (?), to duet with him during one of the new songs. I really love this band, cant wait for Negativity to come out and for some more shows to be announced!
Great Show last evening at the Flying Dog Brewery. They came on about 7:15 and went til just after 9. Beer was great as well.
Couple of pix and the setlist below. This was the setlist for the main show. They played a 3 or 4 song encore in addition to that list.

and I love it..
Just got something from the Strand in York PA saying these guys are playing there on Sep 17th. Little bit of a drive, but might be doable, even on a school night if work is going well.
Check that, I see they are playing Ottobar the following night, so that'll be the one I go to instead as its much closer. Of course I also see that they are playing a local festival in Bristol TN near where I grew up that weekend so I may make a trip back home for that one as I like doing things like that when they come up. :drum:

We got tix for the ottobar show motm.
Deer tick recently recorded the album "negativity" in portland! Jimmy russell of "the quick and easy boys" played guitar on a track of deer ticks latest album. The quick and easy boys have played with deer tick, j-roddy, and most recently Hollis brown! They have just released a new album "make it easy", the latest video released for that "hey hey hey" was just debuted on the Huffington post. Really great high energy rock n roll! Definitely worth checking out! Rock n roll straight out of Portland! Yeah bud!

We'll see you guys there, really excited about the record as well, even if I didn't care for the music video for the Rock, which i think is a great song.
QuoteHow was it Joey? I heard the weather was rough.
The weather was megashit. I tried wearing a rain coat and boots but after a while I just had to accept defeat. Thank god Futurebirds played inside later that night. The deer tick set was awesome. One of the guys I was with had never seen them and I could tell he enjoyed it. I did not expect Vanessa to come out on stage, that was neat. I think John was having fun. He was in top badass form... opening beers with his teeth, spraying a beer or two.. the usual fun deer tick stuff. They played a couple of songs from the new record and they seemed to fit in really well the set as a whole so I'm excited for this new one to come out.
I see they have added more dates including Philly to the tour as well as putting up the vinyl in limited edition sky blue for presale.
Can't wait to catch these guys as I really enjoyed them at PC1.
John McCauley's solo show at Newport this past weekend was one of my favorite shows of the entire weekend.
About the closest competition was the nighttime Deer Tick shows at The Blues Cafe with special guests like Phosphorescent, Jason Isbell, Justin Townes Earle and Langlorne Slim.
Deer Tick has quickly become one of my favorite bands to see live and I'm looking forward to their NYC show on November 7 if anyone wants to join me.
Thanks to Ruckus for introducing me to these guys a while back. :beer:

I plan on being at the NYC show in November. I love Deer Tick. Awesome shows and I agree about McCauley's solo set.
I owe J Roddy and Deer Tick to Ruckus!
one of the best fest moments was McCauley saying he really wasn't into Buffet but asking his mom (a parrot head) to come on stage, then he let her sing Margaritaville---she was terrific.
got to see half of the new album performed Sun night and the new songs are great---i was too wiped out to stay for it all but the guitarist's song was my favorite, probably song 4 of the album. He had Vanessa Carlton join him each time he performed to sing the duet they have (really pretty song).

Just grabbed some tickets to one of their recently-announced shows. Outside of Forecastle, I've never seen a Deer Tick show -- so I guess I've never seen a REAL Deer Tick show -- and now I'm pretty pumped!
I like their "hits" but haven't really ever given their albums a true chance outside of their debut. I'm really looking forward to diving in the deep end right into their back catalog before the show in the fall!

Here is a pix of him after he asked his Mom onto the stage to sing a Jimmy Buffet song.

Is this really where Deer Tick is playing in Springfield???
http://www.jbo-club.com/ (http://www.jbo-club.com/)
Has anyone been here before? This looks like the only show I can get to on the fall tour.
Apparently that club has a good bit of history and Deer Tick has played there before. I had no idea. Neat.
hey Joey- I see you've answered your own question but yes, that's where they are playing and they did play a benefit there fairly recently. My friend Sean who grew up in Springfield has seen many a show there a long time ago. We talked about going out for that last show but were too lazy to make the drive. Tiny venue and would be fun.
I'm hitting Dudesmash Too.

Good to know. Judging by some youtube vids of that benefit show, I think it'll be a good time.
Dudesmash Too is looking pretty awesome. Wish I could make it.
Deervana! On Sept13 they're playing 'In Utero' at Brooklyn Bowl. I've always wanted to see one of these Deervana shows and with how infrequently they do them, you better believe I won't be missing this one

Deer Tick: Dream's in the Ditch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_CFihMT3m8#)
I'm really digging how they've been having other band members sing songs recently. Clowning Around from the last album was great too. I am highly anticipating this release.
I keep reading so much hate around "Divine Providence"... people outright hating it or just thinking it's weak. I really don't get it at all. I think the album is great... front to back. To each their own I guess... but I love it. Looking forward to the new one and to seeing them at Webster Hall in Nov.
I don't think DP is a bad album at all. I don't think DT have any bad albums.
I will be at that Webster Hall show and hope to see you there.

I'm gonna need a Deer Tick expert to post the full Springfield set because there were a few new songs and covers that I couldn't ID. It was an awesome show though. My 5th time seeing Deer Tick but I think this counts as my first Deer Tick show. They set up a tent in the parking lot and played out there, unlike last year which was inside. I really liked T Hardy Morris. Good chill stuff. John joined them for a Diamond Rugs song.
Songs I remember them playing (not in the correct order): the rock, the bump, easy, threshold, main st, dreams in the ditch, clownin around, not so dense, ashamed, art isnt real, dirty dishes, she's not spanish, mange, dead flowers, some deervana, some hank williams, let's all go to the bar and a few more.
It was an awesome show, I doubt I'll find any recordings of it but hopefully someone can figure out the setlist.
for the record.....
i loves live deer tick music!
I thought they just killed it at Ottobar on Wednesday night. Had thought about doing the b2b nights with the Strand the night prior in York but I think I'm glad I didn't.
Just finishing my first run of listening to the new album.
Different direction for sure but really good. This band is still growing. Bigtime.
So I could use some help. Deer Tick and J Roddy are playing the same night in Philly. I have every intention of going to one of them but I don't know which. I've never seen either band yet. I've been a DT fan for much longer than J Roddy, in fact the first time I heard JR was only a couple of months ago, but as we all know, he's the shit. I'm leaning more towards the DT show but if anyone can tell me why I should choose otherwise I'd love to hear it.

I agree, it was a great set they put on. Like I mentioned the other night we caught them down in southern VA close to most of my family last night and that was a fantastic show in itself. The crowd wasn't as great, but they did play Walls which is my favorite song they do, so that was awesome and also did a little sound check of Rape me after I yelled it out which was cool. The set overall was pretty similar to Baltimore, but a little shorter, probably only an 1 and 45 total, but they did throw in a few different songs like Mr. Sticks and Miss. K and a couple of covers, which I don't think they did at Baltimore. My B.I.L really liked them so that was good, I will say Blitzen trapper was pretty disappointing overall though as their stage pressence really did kind of suck, especially in comparison to DT. Hopefully J Roddy was just as good this weekend.

I would definitely go with Deer Tick on this one, but then again I'm not much of a J Roddy fan. When I've seen J Roddy I've loved it for about 15 min and then been bored the rest of the time. Deer Tick really hold my interest throughout the whole show.

It wasnt Hampton Roads area was it? I dont recall ever seeing them when doing searches for shows around here.
Extremely disappointed with Negativity after 1 listen. Sounds like a totally different band than what got me into them with Born On Flag Day and War Elephant. Their last couple albums havent been as good as those 2, but at least they were still overall pretty good.

I agree, it was a great set they put on. Like I mentioned the other night we caught them down in southern VA close to most of my family last night and that was a fantastic show in itself.
It wasnt Hampton Roads area was it? I dont recall ever seeing them when doing searches for shows around here.
No, it was in Bristol which is in the SW part of the state near TN. Great show though.

Extremely disappointed with Negativity after 1 listen. Sounds like a totally different band than what got me into them with Born On Flag Day and War Elephant. Their last couple albums havent been as good as those 2, but at least they were still overall pretty good.
I haven't given my nice sky blue a spin yet, but I listed to the stream a few times and it definately wasn't as good as their first few albums which are my favorite, or even the Tim ep which I really love. There are a few good songs on there though IMO, especially the Rock, which I really love live.
I finally took the time to listen to Negativity. It's quite good! And that's all I have to say about that.
The more I listen to this the more I like it. I wasn't really a fan upon first listen but it's growing on me.
I like this record more now that I'm hearing it on vinyl, the songs are cool and the music's great...but (in tiny, quiet voice), I just really dislike McCauley's voice. Sometimes it works, like on The Dream's in the Ditch, and then sometimes it feels really contrived to me, like he's a contemporary Tom Waits, which sounds like a great thing, and it is, as far as songs go, but that growling just wrecks it for me on most tunes.

Well "Dreams in the Ditch" isnt McCauley, thats the guitarist Ian O'neil. The drummer, Dennis Ryan, sings "Thyme" which I think is a standout on the record. If you don't like McCauley's voice I would think it would be pretty hard to like Deer Tick, no?
I like the record quite a bit. I end up liking a different song more than I previously had with each listen. What I think I am most impressed with though is that they made the exact record that they were trying to make. I've read just about every single interview with them that has come out and the gist of them have been, (besides McCauley getting sober) that they set out to make a more pop-influenced accessible record while writing lyrics that are generally pretty dark. So while I dont think it's their best, I think it really shows their talent to be able to have a set idea and go into the studio and just nail it. Which makes me very optimistic about Deer Tick moving forward. Plus The Rock and Pot of Gold are so fucking good.

Oh! Well, no wonder I thought it worked. But yeah, it's hard for me to love Deer Tick when McCauley's singing. Pot of Gold kicks ass though.
So are they playing live with a horn section now or what? Horns are all over this album. Weird to say, but it almost gives me a Tragic Kingdom vibe in parts.
No horns when I saw them. John played keys on The Rock as well as Rob. I'd say that is the song that missed the horns the most, but it still sounded good live.
Have now spun this album a few times through, and I really dig it. It's a real grower.
"The Rock" and "The Dream's In The Ditch" are particularly killer, and I suspect those will slay in a live setting. Same with "Mirror Walls" and "Mr. Sticks" -- both have some fantastic guitar parts that linger in my head. And I feel like "Pot of Gold" marks the first Deervana original, no? It's perfect. "Trash" is another favorite, partly because of the song's lyrical concept, partly because it sounds like a complete mash of "Let Me Roll It" and Wilco's "Hate It Here", both songs I love. In fact, there are several parts throughout this album when I hear parts that sound familiar. Maybe from other songs? Maybe from the deep recesses of my mind? The intro of "Hey Doll", for example, is one chord shy of being "Isolation" by John Lennon. But this kind of aural deja vu never bothers me much, and I suspect that feeling will fade even further as I get more and more used to the familiar, but different-enough melodies of Negativity.
I'd say the whole album works except for "Just Friends". Really can't get into that tune, and I find it sticks out horribly. Even "In Our Time" works with it's jovial bounce-groove, but "Just Friends" sounds like something you'd hear in a grocery store in the early 90s. And not in a good way.
Other than that though, I'm getting nothing but enjoyment out of this album. Looking forward to seeing these guys next week.
Saw Deer Tick tonight and they killed it. FUCKING KILLED IT!!! Included an awesome cover of Lou Reed's "Hanging 'Round" in their set. Got to hang with the band after and what a buncha guys . Unforgettable night!

i got an email from a friend saying last night's show was by far the best tick show she's been to and she's seen 20+. insanely excited for tonight in detroit.
i'm not sure if john took a temporary detour from sobreity or if he's off the wagon, but he was pretty drunk in detroit on friday.
Just saw this tweeted out, now I am thinking of adding the Philly Date since J Roddy will be there as well. Two days in a row of Roddy is looking awesome.

Deer Tick has been cancelling shows due to a "medical emergency." Hope all is well with the guys. Anyone know what's going on?

I think I saw a tweet from them saying it was a family emergency back home that someone had to deal with. Hopefully everything turns out well.
Oy..hadn't heard that they had cancelled shows. Just saw them last week and had a few observations:
1) Definitely not sober. Maybe cutting back, but in no way are these guys (or JM,in particular) pretending to be sober. Keeping it together a little more, definitely. But not sober, no way no how.
2) That was the worst, most drunk ass crowd I have ever seen in my entire life. And every single person screamed every single lyric to every single song.
3) Ian killed it on Dream's in the Ditch. He is phenomenal. Love Dennis Ryan,too. And I just can not get sick of JM on vox, either. Really wish they had played Hey Doll but you can't win em all.
4) Negativity is fantastic. Yea, take out Just Friends...and maybe one or two others. But so many of them are phenomenal. The Rock, The Curtain, Hey Doll, Pot of Gold and the rest... Solid.
5) Pot of Gold = The first Deervana original, agreed. Trash = Let me Roll it + Hate it Here? Let me stew on that one and get back to you.
Conclusion - the era of seeing DT in small clubs is drawing to a close. If they don't self destruct, they will grow into venues bigger than we all want to see them in, but maybe that's not such a bad thing. This is a saga that is to be continued...

I thought it WAS over already. When the Detroit show was announced it was in a much bigger venue, but plans changed I guess and it got moved to my favorite venue in town.
The Webster Hall show last night was incredible. Played a good bunch of songs from Divine Providence which made me happy and they sounded great. Can't wait to see them again!

Yea man that show was great. I was standing near a group of 3 kids who had come down from Canada just for the show and also a group of kids who came from CT and had seen them 10 times on this tour alone. I knew people loved Deer Tick but I had no idea that had an actual following like that
I was on the rail for the Webster Hall show with Brooke & Fiddle Castro. DT was loud and proud and the sold out place really was enthusiastic. Seems like this band has finally broken through. A really great show with terrific energy and a tight band. Loved it.
just got tickets for their march show at the allen room at lincoln center. i had heard of but never heard them before PC1 and they blew me away. can't wait to see them in this amazing room-

yeah that venue looks spectacular. High ticket prices and the fact I don't live in NYC are holding me back from pulling the trigger.

What's the point of a seated Deer Tick show?
A few new dates:
3/5 - Norfolk, CT @ Infinity Hall
3/6 - NYC @ Lincoln Center
3/7 - Albany, NY @ The Hollow :cheesy:
3/8 - Northampton, MA @ Pearl St Nightclub
3/14 - Providence, RI @ Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel
w Toy Soldiers, too. That's a nice double bill (they played at Deer Tick's Dudesmash and were really good IMO)
Never heard Toy Soldiers. Looking forward to it.
How was the NYC show??

whoa...
Sounds like a pretty unique show. I've always wanted to see John play Christ Jesus alone at a piano. Jealous.
I was there last night. It was one of those great shows that stay with you. Simply amazing. The band sounded great and the Allen room is stunning. 20 mostly acoustic songs and John played two solo on the piano. I've had the pleasure of seeing this band in so many different kinds of venues and they always deliver and play to the crowd. This crowd was on the sitting down and mellow side. Def fans, but the room sort of dictated that. Either way it's hard to put into words what it was like, but this guy did. The article has some really nice pictures of the show attached to the article.

The Albany show was awesome. The guys definitely had fun and the crowd was loud and rowdy. A little too rowdy at a couple points, but very fun. I saw John pull off a move I hadn't seen him do before: he spit into the air and caught it in his mouth whilst rocking out. No Vanessa :( . Met an awesome couple from Ottawa. Still no When She Comes Home for me, but a pretty solid set nonetheless. Now It's Your Turn was fucking awesome. Big House thru Not So Dense were all done with the stripped down, Allen Room style arrangements. John talked about boners after Rocket. He also sang about The Egg. Was fun, can't wait to see them again.
Set:
The Rock
Dreams in the Ditch
Baltimore Blues
Main St
Miss K
The Bump
Easy
Mr Sticks
Big House
Long Time
The Ghost
Make Believe
Not So Dense
Thyme
The Curtain
Rocket In My Pocket
Now It's Your Turn
Born at Zero
These Old Shoes
Ashamed
Sleepwalk/La Bamba
Saw some new dates pop up today for these guys. Glad to have a DC date at the Black Cat, haven't been there in ages.
Forgot to mention that Toy Soldiers were AWESOME

Cant wait for these, particularly the Lou Reed and Elvis Costello nights
I can't go to any of them and I am jealous of those who can.
Anyone here go to this show???
Nuts

I wasn't at the NYE show but Brooke & Val were there.
I was at the 1st and 3rd show with Ruckus & Fiddle Castro. Great shows by an awesome band.
I was at the New Year's show....big reaction when Stevie came out. Crazy stuff. Thought the show overall was awesome. Loved having the introductions for each song they were doing.

Bunch of shows announced for an acoustic spring tour. They are offering VIP tickets that include soundcheck access, meet n greet, etc. I don't think they've ever done something like that before.

really bummed they bailed on a show here in VB. Played a show the night before, the night after but someone was "sick" the night of this show. I suspect low ticket sales.

My initial instinct was that John is out there partying too hard again, which is also a cause for concern. I'm seeing them play a very small show by me in June for a charity that a friend of mine runs. Hopefully he's in good shape
I'm a little bummed after listening to this a lot over the weekend. It's unclear to me who will be long-term keeper fan favourites. (https://makeatea.com/does-tea-make-you-poop/)
Heads up the band has a $10 off all vinyl in their online store (https://www.hellomerch.com/collections/deer-tick) right now
Just got tickets for their LA show right before Halloween. $75 for two tickets, for two bands (Country Westerns is the opener). I can't believe the show is so cheap, let's hope they're making some decent money playing Avetts On The Beach after OBH.
