The Evolution of Deer Tick In Video

Deer Tick, 2010. By Travis Simpkins
     Many of the musicians I know now, I knew years ago. To think back on their past performances, to trace their development, requires an astute memory. Others, more technologically savvy, have left a video trail to follow. It's interesting and amusing to look at old videos of people you know and see how they've changed, to view their artistic evolution.
     Deer Tick is a fine example. In a relatively short period of time, they went from playing people's apartments to playing Late Night with David Letterman. Still, it's fun to see early camcorder footage of John McCauley compared alongside the more recently filmed performances:
