Sometimes it doesn’t take much for The Deli to dig a song. Take, for instance, Tetherball’s brand-new single, "Bootss." Yeah, it was interesting reading up on producer, musician, and major label expat Steve Voss’s overarching plans to eventually include film, print, and other media beneath the Tetherball umbrella (check out a music video teaser here.) Maybe learning that Philip K. Dick has a strong influence on some compositions had us fanning ourselves a little. But before this, we were already hooked by those first two gnarly chords in the beginning of "Bootss." The track beefs up around them as it goes on, and the resulting choppy, Daft-Punk-vs-Primus smackdown is so satisfying to listen to; Voss’ gift for weaving together discord had us eager to hear how he was going to make the next scrap fit. The band’s next show will be October 6th at The High Watt. Tetherball’s debut full-length, "Whimsy," will be released this October via Silver Point Records, and we can’t wait. –Terra James-Jura
