biographical info
During their last gathering Deerfoot decided the best thing to do was to just hit record and go. For a little less than a week the band ate, slept, and breathed music together in a musically historic old house in Toronto nicknamed “Lagos” (after Clint Eastwood’s “High Plains Drifter”). They would play until three or four in the morning, wake up at eleven and just start playing again. This intense creative session allowed the band to compile over 16 hours of material onto a hard drive in just a few days.
Deerfoot was formed in 2004 by Timoffee as part of a project experiment to meld various styles of music. He called up his long time friends to come to Toronto during breaks from their other tour obligations. Following a rehearsal week, they prepared for the full scale production and have just released their first full length recording.
