Can the newly restored Paramount rock? Well, Deerhoof will try to find out when play there on Sunday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. Deerhoof formed in San Francisco in 1994 and now is signed with Kill Rock Stars. The band includes Satomi Matsuzaki, John Dieterich, Ed Rodriguez and Greg Saunier, and they're working on a new record.
