Deerhunter @ Whirlyball Atlanta 6/1/07

I would never have expected Deerhunter (Atlanta) to gain popularity the way they have in the last year. It's not that I don't think they're a great band (I do), it just doesn't seem very "accessible." But good for them. And you. 'Cause being obsessed with Cryptograms lately got me to finally get out and record these guys. This show was put on by Chunklet (who pressed up 7" records with exclusive tracks by all the bands as tickets!) at Whirlyball in Roswell, which you should check out if you ever want to let your inner child out (don't worry, there's a full bar there for your adult exterior).

[Probably Not Safe For Work]

Track 1 - Lake Somerset
Track 2 - Cryptograms
Track 3 - Wash Off
Track 4 - Spring Hall Convert
Track 5 - Hazel St
