Deer Tick on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. What?

Hey everyone,

So if you remember, a few months ago we had the pleasure of having Deer Tick at WRPI. They played three acoustic songs and I got to interview them afterward. Since then, they've been named one of the top bands of SXSW by Rolling Stone magazine and, as of this past week, have been featured on NBC Nightly News and interviewed by none other than Brian Williams.

Check out the interview here. John McCauley from Deer Tick talks about their recent rise in popularity and their upcoming album Born on Flag Day, while Brian Williams asks them when they'll know that they've hit it big. It's awkwardly hilarious and definitely worth viewing (it's about three and a half minutes long).

Brian Williams has a music blog too, apparently. Dude loves indie rock.

Deer Tick at WRPI 2/16/09 pt 2: songs and interview!

Hey everyone,

So as I mentioned before, Deer Tick stopped by WRPI on Monday to play some songs and interview with yours truly. I'm happy to post the songs and interview here:

Deer Tick - Interview (includes some details on their two 2009 releases, among other subjects)

Deer Tick's set at Madison Grille in Albany that night was awesome as well! They packed the place and put on a great performance. If you haven't yet seen them live, be sure to rectify that next time they come around the area. You can keep up with Deer Tick's music and intense tour schedule by checking their official website or myspace page.
