Deer Tick 8/25/11 Beachcomber Wellfleet MA

Providence band chugged its way out to the Comba for a rocking pre-hurricane Irene set. Known for its boozy live shows, this band lived up to the hype. With cadre of followers who knew every lyric, Deer Tick rocked a packed house. Originals from Black Dirt Sessions, Maybelline, Impromptu Swimmin in a Hurricane were all great. When frontman singer wasn't pouring beer on drummer's cymbals, making out with keyboard player, spraying beer and sandwiches on the crowd, he held it down with straight rock and roll. A fitting exit, the band "escaped" through a window to a show ending wall of feedback. If this band can stay alive, they are certainly worth watching.
