Song:Nothing Ever Happened
Album:Microcastle/Weird Era Continued
Deerhunter is an experimental rock band from Atlanta that have been around since 2001. They have had enough success to hang around but their music is not mainstream. Deerhunter is led by lead singer Bradford Cox. He's very tall and skinny which is the result of the genetic disease Marfan Syndrome. He formed Deerhunter in 2001 with keyboard player Moses Archuleta. The band name was chosen by drummer Dan Walton who didn't remain. Cox didn't care about the name because the band was not supposed to last. But they started doing shows and eventually released a couple of EPs and an album. They finally signed with Kranky Records and released the 2005 CD Cryptograms. Meanwhile they were having problems with guitarist Colin Mee who wasn't showing up to gigs. Nothing Ever Happened is from the 2007 CD Microcastle which got some airplay on alt rock radio. You can get it on a twofer with the 2009 album Weird Era Continued. Deerhunter was forced on hiatus when Cox was struck by a car in 2014. But they returned and their latest CD Fading Frontier was released in 2015. As I said, Deerhunter is not a mainstream band but they do have a loyal following. Here's Deerhunter performing Nothing Ever Happens in 2008.
