Divine Providence
Deer Tick
On Deer Tick's fourth release, Divine Providence, the quintet sounds positively rambunctious from the get-go: "I got a lust for life/ and a dangerous mind" is John McCauley's first guttural utterance in the pub-rockin' sing-along "The Bump." "You f*ckin' douchebag," he then mutters at the top of The Stones-ish "Funny Word," which is followed by a Hendrix-like mangling of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in "Something to Brag About." Soon, though, the booze-fueled antics wind down, and slow-burning ballads (including the strings-touched "Electric") start to reveal Deer Tick at their most reflective.

Stripped Down In A Yurt Deer Tick, "Walkin Out The Door"

by Rhapsody TV

Live from Sasquatch 2012, here we have pink-clad bar-rockers Deer Tick doing "Walkin' Out the Door" as part of Stripped Down in a Yurt, our series of exclusive, intimate performances captured in, yes, an on-site yurt. It was awesome. If you're into this, check out the other tune Deer Tick did for us, "Funny Word." Enjoy.

Stripped Down In A Yurt Deer Tick, "Funny Word"

With the summer festival season in full swing, Rhapsody headed to the Pacific Northwest four-day bacchanal known as Sasquatch, where we sponsored a cantina, gave away tons of free stuff, and let our cameras roll. Thus we present, " [Stripped Down In A Yurt](http://www.rhapsody.com/blog/stripped-down)" -- that's right, a yurt, a teepee-like structure just off the festival grounds where we spirited performers to play acoustic versions of their sweet, sweet jams. With their delightfully rough-around-the-edges Americana-roots sound, Providence, Rhode Island's [Deer Tick](http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16389579) was practically made for this sort of thing.
