Satomi Matsuzaki joined Deerhoof within a week of moving to the United States from Japan in May 1995, with no prior experience playing in a band, and went on tour as Deerhoof’s singer only a week later, opening for Caroliner . Deerhoof’s 1997 debut album, The Man, the King, the Girl , was recorded on a 4-track tape .
