Cinco de Dan Deacon

Last night, I went to the Dan Deacon concert at Turner Hall with my friend Mark. What an epic concert. The 13 piece ensemble in the background was a nice and aesthetic touch. It added a unique musical touch that you don't hear often in electronic music. This must be why I like his new album Bromst, its just different in a good way.



Myself and Mr. Deacon


Let me sum up the concert
  • Sine wave manipulators and cartoon voices.
  • Running around in a circle.
  • Big table of gadgets.
  • Human chain that led out to the street.
  • Spastic dancing.
  • Glowing green skull.
  • Crystal Cat.
  • Getting the crowd pumped.
Towards the end of the concert I got front row and got to watch Dan the man work his magic. While I listened to him bust out the tunes, I heard a song that I had never heard before titled, "Silence Like the Wind Overtakes Me". Have a look. (Video not from actual concert)



This was a great concert and I recommend seeing Dan Deacon to anyone who wants to take a break from the usually stand around a listen to music concert experience.
