I'm a New Yorker at heart, but I'll be the first to admit that Baltimore's DIY music fiddlings are slowly but surely catching up to the the Brooklyn music behemoth in reputation. Just look at Dan Deacon, Ponytail, Double Dagger, and practically the entire Whartscape lineup. Brooklyn's got nothing on that. And now Baltimore's own fuzz n' buzz outfit Future Islands are staking their claim on the ...

Beloved dance floor hellraiser Dan Deacon has been hospitalized for acute sciatica. That’s back problems for the layman.

Never have we come across an artist as convincing as Dan Deacon. Self-assured in his absurdity, his greatest talent does not lie in composing or even playing music - it lies in his uncanny ability to sell anything. He can tell us that 13 is 19, that down is up, that centre is peripheral, that Matt is Pat is Sir, that Brits can have feelings too.
An east coast Dan Deacon Show is much better than a west coast Deacon concert. For starters they usually spell his name right out east. The marquee at LA troubadour read Dan Deacan.Missing were the motley crew of dressed up characters from Deacon's Baltimore art collective Wham City. Gone was the guy in the Tigger costume, the dude who always dressed as a capped superhero and the usual voyeurs...
When I hear the name Dan Deacon, the word that instantaneously comes to mind is surprise. Indeed, I expected his Friday Coachella appearance to be somewhat of a filler set.

Dan Deacon's ne...
The first Feet night of Dan Deacon's Baltimore Round Robin brain child was Friday night at Mass Art's Pozin Gymnasium. Before expounding on how the entire affair went down, one must understand how concert was set up. As promoted, bands set up in an almost complete circle around the gym. Since the space was inadequate to [...]

It's hard to believe it's been over a week since Dan Deacon, White Williams and Girl Talk played their one-two shows at Webster Hall and Bowery, and I feel I've just barely recovered. I went to the late late show, and I nearly lasted the entire time. I left during Greg Gillis's last "song". You don't get a trophy if you stay till the end and I had a put in a great night already.Earlier that ...
