Deer Tick on Letterman

Deer Tick, the big winner in this year's iteration of the Phoenix's Best Music Poll, is set to appear on Late Night with David Letterman tonight.

Another step forward for the alt-country act, profiled in the Phoenix in June, which has just released its third album - "The Black Dirt Sessions" - recorded in upstate New York late last year.

Keep an eye on these guys. They're scheduled to play Jerky's on July 17.
