Playing Ping-Pong with Hinds, Spain's Most Fun Rock band
The band, initially a duo, chose the name Deers because the Spanish expression for cheating on a partner—poner los cuernos—literally translates into “to put horns on somebody.” Worth noting: They have become substantially more successful than their former boyfriends’ band.
When I meet up with Hinds at Manhattan Ping-Pong parlor SPiN, co-owned by actress Susan Sarandon, the band is about to release a spirited second album called I Don’t Run (now available via the Mom + Pop label in the U.S.). The music is characterized by brash hooks, Strokes-inspired lo-fi aesthetics and barbed lyrics populated with obnoxious, misbehaving men. (A sample lyric: “Why did you have to kiss me after sex? / Should I’ve known before you were also banging her?”)
