Deervana must play 2012

[dorkfish]

Because it will be fun.

Deer Tick and friends covering Nirvana songs.

1000% down.

This would be fun

My ideal would be a set from both Deer Tick and Deervana, but I would certainly be pleased with only Deervana.

[menikmati]

Deervana can headline as far as I'm concerned.

got my vote.

This would be great. I never got to see Nirvana.

RIP Deervana

Deer Tick/Deervana

We were obsessive Nirvana fans as teenagers, I knew the entire catalog on guitar when I was 16. We'd hang out, smoke a bowl, put on a Nirvana bootleg.

A friend asked us to play a Nirvana tribute set for a birthday party, then 
our manager asked us to do it for South by Southwest and we thought it would be funny. We got a lot of offers after that, but turned almost everything down. We also did a surprise [Deervana] set at Bonnaroo, but that was just so we could get better passes. It was supposed to be a joke, but it got too much attention and I felt stupid. We're not gonna take people's money so they can hear Nirvana songs. I'll miss jumping into the drum set and people stage-diving -- I wish they'd do that during Deer Tick shows. I just think they wish they had the chance to see Nirvana live -- I know I do -- and their music can make you do crazy shit when you're surrounded by other people listening to it. But we've got our own music careers to worry about. We'll always throw Nirvana covers in our set, but no more full sets; we don't want to become a tribute act or something. Deervana's broken up.

Well that was quick, but I can understand and respect the reasoning.
