Deer Tick @ Cactus Music

Submitted by eggs on Tue, 03/24/2009 - 00:33.

As bands, music professionals and fans alike were already making their way to Austin for the 2009 edition of SXSW, us folk in Houston were reaping the benefits as many of those bands stopped here in town before the main event. There were many options for shows on Tuesday, March 17th, with the first performance of the day belonging to Providence, Rhode Island natives Deer Tick, who held down the stage at our favorite local record shop Cactus Music. They were slated to play later that night in town, but I didn't want to miss their in-store, as we already had plans to see Beach House at the Orange Show later that evening.

I arrived about 30 minutes later then the posted start time thinking I might have missed a significant portion of their set, but as we pulled up, so did a huge blue F-150 with RI plates and a grandiose 'God Bless Deer Tick' sticker emblazoned on the back window. Frontman John McCauley Jr. jumped out of the passenger seat with a guitar case and popped into the store. I followed his cue, and made my way towards to the small stage on the back wall of the store. He soon began playing as the other three members of the band filtered in after getting parked. After a few acoustic tunes that showcased his vocal talent as well as his skill in flatpicking an acoustic guitar, McCauley Jr. invited up drummer Dennis Ryan to lend his vocals to the next song. A strong country influence was evident in the first three songs, but their true sound was first displayed when the rest of the band (and manager/roadie) came to the stage for an a cappella sing-a-long of their tune "Diamond Rings 2007." The rest of the longer-than-usual-for-an-in-store set showcased a few covers, as well as "Houston," a song about McCauley's years in our fair city. The 45 minute show was a nice introduction to their songs and style. I had never heard their material before walking into Cactus, and am glad I attended on recommendation alone. I'm upset I missed their performance later in the evening, but with McCauley Jr.'s ties to Houston, I'm sure they'll be back in town before too long.

I highly recommend checking out Deer Tick as soon as possible.

Deer Tick

Hey just wanted to say I saw Deer Tick this past Saturday at the Bourbon Theatre here in Lincoln and they were great! The crowd was awesome and really getting into it, maybe that had something to do with it being a football Saturday and the Huskers won, but the more energy the better! But Deer Tick totally fed off of it and were obviously having great time, maybe a little alcohol induced, but fun nonetheless. They ended up having to be cut off by the sound guy because they didn't want to quit. I could've seen this coming given their drunken video from sxsw that they feature on their website in which they jam out til 7am. Anyhoo, def seein them again if they come back!!
