The Wonderful World of Dan Deacon
Self-described "Absurdist composer and electronic musician," Dan Deacon is more like the mad scientist of Baltimore pulling from the "Fluxus Movement, Italian Futurism, Performance Art, Spiderman, Absurdism, and the current movement in underground rock." He hacks up and re-stitches Casio noises, computer blips, and his voice (or singing animals, super-heroes, etc) processed through some sort of helium-jacked vocoder. His album Spiderman of the Rings is a post-modern mishmash yanked from Toontown. It's-so-fun! I picture this man as cartoon.
When The Thermals played Studio B earlier this month, Dan Deacon was there too. He was going to perform in the side room but some of his equipment was messed up so he really ended up DJing. I guess we will have to wait until next tour. Remaining tour dates below.
