Note:
We sat down with Deacon earlier this year. Check the exclusive interview over on Flavorwire.
Madcap songsmith Dan Deacon usually performs solo, convincing sweaty audience members to engage in dance-offs, group chants, and mass fits of glee. Today though, he's come to Jelly's Pool Party with a whole gaggle of B'more-based artists (and most likely in his veggie oil-powered bus). The conservatory-trained musician carefully arranged the tracks off his recent release Bromst 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; the awesome Deerhunter and awesomer No Age open. Just be prepared: everyone under 40 in Williamsburg will probably be waiting on line for this one.
