Check out the new Deerhoof video for "We Do Parties," which just debuted on Pitchfork.tv. It features the band walking around the streets of Tokyo playing with glow sticks, skateboarding, and singing karaoke. Video directed by Michinori "Mitch" Saigo.
"We Do Parties" appears on Deerhoof's latest album, Breakup Song, which you can get on white vinyl RIGHT HERE.
In 2010, Sonny Smith (Sonny & The Sunsets) invited 100 artists to collaborate on an incredibly ambitious project. The artists would design 100 album covers, while Smith recorded music (under fictitious band names) to go along with each one. The result is Vol. 1, 2, and 3 of the 100 Records project, which came out today!
Vol. 1, 2, and 3 are all available on limited edition cassettes + MP3, while Vol. 3 is also available on limited white vinyl! Check them all out RIGHT HERE.
To get an idea of what this project is all about, check out this video interview at Gallery 16 in San Francisco, where Smith talks about the project in detail. You can also stream Vol. 3 in its entirety on Consequence of Sound RIGHT HERE.
