Deerhoof to star in art film
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 21 August 2009
US indie geniuses/weirdos Deerhoof are to star in an art film called ‘BAND’. The film, directed by artist Adam Pendleton, is based on Jean-Luc Godard’s 1968 film about The Rolling Stones, ‘Sympathy For The Devil’, intercutting clips of The Stones in the studio from Godard’s film with the footage of Deerhoof recording and rehearsing in their very much more lo-fi set up.
The filming will finish with a free show by Deerhoof at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto, which is one of the Toronto International Film Festival’s ‘Future Projects’ events, apparently.
In a statement, Pendleton said: “I was really looking for a group that balanced experimentation with a slightly pop, slightly rock sensibility and had a dynamic performance presence and style… Deerhoof had it all”.
