Dan Deacon @ McCarren Pool, Brooklyn, NY - pics

DOWNLOAD: Dan Deacon - Splish Splash (MP3) (i was taking a bath)

On the one hand, it wouldn't have been a Dan Deacon show if he hadn't played on the ground - with the people - with HIS people. On the other hand, maybe Dan was being a little unfair by repeatedly calling everyone hanging out around the perimeter of the pool "the Flickr Zone". I mean, the show was awesome - short, but awesome, BUT, it wasn't that awesome for those who really couldn't get close enough to Dan to know what was going on - especially if they didn't know what to expect, but whatever...

Dan opened the July 8th, 2007 show. He went on at 4pm.

Also from this show...
* Octopus Project, Peelander-Z & balloons @ McCarren Pool
* puddle dancing & praying @ McCarren Pool - pics
* Erase Errata @ McCarren Pool, Brooklyn, NYC - pics
* the end of the slip N slide @ McCarren Pool Sunday

Later that night Dan played Death by Audio - also with OCDJ who played right before Dan at McCarren, and who I unfortunately missed, but will catch at Citysol.

Dan is going on tour with Girl Talk. Even more Dan Deacon HERE.

I'm the girl who (drunkenly!) said hi by the bathrooms---the heat the dewars made me a little friendlier than usual. Sorry!

Sick this guy already. His vocals ruin the LP (too silly).

Good point BV. Plus, it was like 90-something degrees and baking. Just because you don't want to be crammed in a with a bunch of other sweaty people near the front doesn't mean you aren't enjoying yourself. Some of us like to stay back and drink our beers in peace while listening to the music. Dan Deacon's great but he's played much better sets. His in-between song banter wasn't even as funny as it normally is, in my opinion.

so you guys are critiquing BANTER now?!

holy shit...

NOT critiquing banter for a Dan Deacon show is ignoring about 50% of his performance, at least.

Posted by Sebastian | July 10, 2007 12:13 PM

That's exactly true. At least 50%, probably more of his show is his banter. Usually he's pretty hilarious and does various sorts of bits throughout his set (for lack of a better word.) I thought his banter on Sunday fell a bit flat.

Holy shit pard. Life is ROUGH.

he played "mccarren pool is a pyramid" first.

i spoke to dan after the show. he drove straight through the night from detroit (10 hours) after a show there to make it to the pool in time. i think his show was awesome for someone on no sleep in the hot sun opening up a show.

the death by audio show was way better.

Posted by Anonymous | July 10, 2007 6:01 PM

ditto to the late guy. i was taking my time eating a sandwich at oasis at 4 pm, assuming dan deacon would be last. eh.

Posted by Anonymous | July 10, 2007 7:21 PM

the late show was way better, not only was it thrown by someone/people who know what they hell he's/they're doing, but dan deacons set was longer, and it was hotter, dancier, messier, drunker, and photo-blogger-less - the way shows should be.

viva la diy,
