Deerhunter/The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart @ Rickshaw Stop, San Francisco 2/25/09
Julie Remensperger
Over the summer of '07, the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart landed themselves a BTW stamp on the back of just a 15-minute debut EP; forward a year-and-a-half and the band's being tapped by the likes of MySpace to support Deerhunter in the website's latest "Secret Show" installment, further cementing a certain status in the indie orbit for the Pains' infectious fuzz-pop and exquisitely manicured reference points. The buzzy Buzzfeed-ers were just an opening act though; eyes as always were widest for Bradford and Lockett (he of the sublime Lotus Plaza solo LP) and the rest. Antics were at a minimum, but the show was typically intense: At the outset Cox dedicated the night to "a friend" who he just lost to a heart attack. "This music is for him tonight," he said. RIP, Randall Bewley. Here's the night in pictures by Julie Remensperger.

Randall Bewley was a cool guy, one of the coolest. There are just some people who always strike you as being perfectly real. He was one of them. He helped make Pylon a good band and helped the people around him even more. Thanks Bradford for the call out - Randall deserves that one. Take care.
Score = 1
Deerhunter played 4 new songs last night, apparently - another new release on the way from them this year maybe?
Bradford is a huge Pylon fan, he even had a piece on their blog a few months back where he interviewed them. Pity about that guitar player, too young to go.
