Note:
This show is rain or shine; it may get moved to nearby Market Hotel if it gets too wet.
Madcap songsmith Dan Deacon usually performs solo, convincing sweaty audience members to engage in dance-offs, group chants, and mass fits of glee. Currently, though, he is carting around a gaggle of Baltimore-based musicians in a veggie oil-powered bus, in support of his new record, Bromst. The conservatory-trained musician carefully arranged the new tracks for live performance by an ensemble, which includes drums, strings, and percussion, in addition to his usual soundboard and synths. Members of post-wave synthpop trio Future Islands and percussion-heavy psychedelic jammers Teeth Mountain are part of Deacon's crew; both bands also open tonight's show.
