For the first time in Riga, the avant-garde rock quartet Deerhoof from the United States will perform. Founded almost thirty years ago by drummer Greg Saunier, Deerhoof is considered one of the most influential independent rock collectives in recent history.
The band's "official biography," which is only a few sentences long, is still humorous, although it is often quoted: "Satomi Matsuzaki plays bass guitar and sings. Greg Saunier plays drums. John Dietrich and Ed Rodriguez play guitars. But what exactly is Deerhoof? Damned if we know!"
