Listen to Deerhoof Cover LiLiPUT for Young Adult Book Soundtrack


By Ryan Dombal for Pitchfork:
Deerhoof fans (and hipster parents) should be psyched for Rules to Rock By, a new book by Josh Farrar about a 12-year-old girl who's inspired by Deerhoof to form her own band. (For the record, when I was 12, I was listening to All-4-One's "I Swear". A lot.) Even better, the book comes with its own soundtrack, which features a cover of Swiss post-punk band LiLiPUT's "Hitch Hike" by Deerhoof. The book is out June 22 courtesy of Walker Books for Young Readers.

The soundtrack also includes covers of songs by bands including the Breeders by teen girl band Blame the Patient along with one-time Guided by Voices and Shudder to Think member Kevin March. There's also a tune called "Hey Satomi" written in tribute to Deerhoof's Satomi Matsuzaki.
On 05/10/05, Deerhoof played Soundlab with Needel and Ho-ag.
