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 ...

Welcome to the land of rattlesnake guns, castles upon mountains of snow, and getting your space face on. In other words welcome to Dan Deacon world. This Long Island native's lyrics verge on the supernatural just as much as his spacey, hyper jams. While his latest BROMST is more instrumental than his breakthrough, 2007's Spiderman Of The Rings, tracks still transport the listener to the neverwo...

Wow. I'm a little overwhelmed lately. I've been too busy for anything. Mog or anything else. I felt the need for a personal post cause I got some things to get off my chest. 1. My brother almost had a heart attack last week. He is only 37 and this is the 4th time since his late 20's. They had to stop his heart and restart it. Kind of scary. I don't spend enough time with him. 2. My ...

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...

Dan Deacon makes music for the hipster acid trip. Part maniacal, part incomprehensive, part fantastical and all parts genius. There hasn't been a Dan Deacon concert I've gone to where some sort of authority have tried to shut down the operation. At Pitchfork last year the fire marshal's tried to nix Deacon's set after too many people showed up at the tent. Earlier this evening I hustled my as...

Dan Deacon! How I love thee!As I confess my love for an Urkel frame-wearing art collective founder it is important to note that said love inspiration is releasing a new album. While Bromst (see album art below), will sadly lack Deacon 's signature electro-acoustic melodies in the form of love songs dedicated to moi, the album is still stark full of electro-acoustic melodies already being tagge...

Maybe it’s his thick red-frame nerd glasses? Or the baby fat peeking out from the bottom of his too-tight-t-shirts. But one thing is for sure I HEART DAN DEACON.During his shows, Deacon will wax lyrical about topics ranging from Ethan Hawke, hobbits and cats, to a crowd surfing audience dressed up in wigs, fluorescents and superheroes. His sex raps and shock DJ music are the soundtrack to the h.

"So it's fitting that Dan Deacon is busy in the studio, feeding a player piano with MIDI and computers in order to make it play layers of unplayable music. The technical work is significant, to be sure, but on another level it's natural that the computer would speak to the player piano in such terms. These are distant technologies bridged by a common understanding of how to simplify and reprodu...

What happens when you can’t fixate on the composer? When you can’t peer over a sea of shoulders to judge? When you aren’t distracted by your own analysis of the music’s maker? When all you can see on stage is another audience looking back at you? When your only focal point is a lonely microphone stand wearing an eerie fluorescent green skull? You’re so consumed by the music and the share
