Deerhoof’s next record was inspired by a crudely drawn character created by the Japanese artist Ken Kagami. 2004’s Milk Man featured an opulent, campy sound inspired by Broadway and Igor Stravinsky . It was nominated for “Outstanding Alternative Album” in the California Music Awards, and stayed at No. 1 on the Dusted Radio Chart for six consecutive weeks, and reached No. 1 on the CMJ Core Chart. Also in 2004 Deerhoof received the Editor’s Choice Award from 7×7 magazine, and was voted “Best Local Rock Band” by readers of SF Weekly . In 2006 Milk Man was adapted to a children’s ballet.
