Art-rock combo Deerhoof will find itself thrust into the sublime lens of cult filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard when the four-piece swings by the Toronto International Film Festival next month to participate in a contemporary art installation. Conducted by New York artist Adam Pendleton, BAND revamps Sympathy for the Devil—Godard’s 1968 narrative of the Rolling Stones’ legendary concert at the Altamont Speedway—by mashing film screenings, performance, and rock show, and dropping Deerhoof in the center of the action. Images from the film will bisect with the San Francisco group’s own rehearsal and recording footage shot in Toronto, with filming of the event coming to a head at a free concert on September 17 at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto. Meanwhile, Deerhoof will continue to pop up around the globe on the festival circuit throughout September, so don’t miss out on any of those happenings if you live in the area.
