Greg Saunier heard "Start Me Up" when he was 13 and from that day forward has devoted his life to rock music. In the early 90s, after training as a classical musician at Oberlin Conservatory of Music, he moved to San Francisco and formed Deerhoof. The band has forged a convulsive, improvisatory playing style. He continues to this day as the drummer for Deerhoof as well as increasing involvements as a composer, improviser and producer in collaboration with artists such as Sean Lennon, Jherek Bischoff and Ensemble Dal Niete.
