Dan Deacon w/ ensemble, Dirty Projectors & So Percussion @ Brooklyn Masonic Temple, NYC - pics
photos by Zach Stern
"Now that Mr. Deacon has listeners, he has decided to reclaim his artier side -- occasionally slowing or abandoning the beat -- by performing with Dan Deacon and Ensemble, the 15-member group that made its debut at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple on Thursday night. Half of the set, he announced, would come from his iPod, the other from "actual living humans." It wasn't exactly what the crowd wanted." [NY Times]More pictures and reviews from Thursday night's show, below...
So Percussion...
Dirty Projectors...
setlist
Dan Deacon...
But I can assure you, if there were problems onstage, they were not obvious. The crowd was going crazy and seemed unfazed by the new direction Dan had taken. Sure, I noticed one or two times where things seemed to be on the verge of falling out of sync ... but everyone kept it together, and the results were amazing. The whole thing is even more astounding when you stop for a second to consider that this was the first time ever this group had played together onstage ... and perhaps the third or fourth time they had played together as a full group ever.PREVIOUSLY: a preview of Dan Deacon's new ensemble - pics & videoSo while things may not have been perfect, I think it's fair to say that Dan's grand musical experiment was a success.

Dan Deacon is to today's music what Beethoven was to 19th century music. In a word, genius.

that guy with a beard is a big ska fan. watch out!
Also, having nothing to do with Dan Deacon, wearing flannel is probably the biggest concession you can give in life.

You have got to be kidding, or at least you must know that hyperbolic doesn't begin to describe that statement.

What we should be talking about is how fucking awesome the Dirty Projectors were at this show. They busted out a couple new songs (I think) and were so much more interesting than anything from the rest of the night. Deacon was fun, if not a little lost for large portions, but Projectors stole that show.
Also the sound was so much better for this show. What was the sound guy for TV on the Radio smoking?!

Dan Deacon is the Mets winning the '86 Series
Posted by Anonymous | December 16, 2008 1:30 PM
Yeah, so if you're a Red Sox fan (i.e. Coldplay fan), it sucks, but if you're a Mets fan (i.e. awesome and rad) it totally rules.

the guy in the chicago bulls shirt is Edan Wilber, who organizes all the entertainment4every1 shows (with his friend Dave) at Death By Audio.
he is a friend of Todd P's, but totally a righteous dude in his own right.
