Deerhoof + Ichi + If by Yes

Weird rock & roll is alive and well: Witness bracingly peculiar yet widely acclaimed acts such as Dirty Projectors, Ponytail, Marnie Stern and Xiu Xiu, all of whom synthesize savagery and sweetness in a way that's directly traceable to the mighty Deerhoof. Tonight the band's members serve as ambassadors to the Japanese underground as part of Carnegie Hall's JapanNYC festival; also featured are sets by Nagoya one-man band Ichi and bicoastal American alt-pop combo If by Yes.
