Deacon

"In case you missed out on the well-deserved media blitz that was Merriweather Post Pavillion this year, Animal Collective was a trio for their latest releases. Deakin (now spelled Deacon), the original fourth member who helped shape the majority of their catalog has been on hiatus, taking a step away.

Deacon has just announced his first ever solo show, and it will be here in Baltimore this Friday January 1, 2010. It will be at the Ottobar with the legendary Dan Higgs, innovative Jason Urick, and promising Moss of Aura (solo Future Islands project)."

UPDATE: This show happened and was recorded.

i'm not sure why he elected to step away from the lime light but in a country where most people would give up there souls for 15 minutes of fame I think its extremely commendable that he stepped away from AC when they were on the cusp of getting massive.

He was elected to step away because he started dating Panda Bear's former girlfriend, and it was beginning to start a bit of a rift within the band. Seeing that he valued both his relationship with his girlfriend and his friends, he decided it'd be best to hold onto their relationships they built rather than bring the entire band down.

i thought he got like a real job and didn't feel like touring anymore? i remember reading that somewhere at the time.

@anon241: Noah's got a new girl and a kid, so he should have nothing to complain about if that's true.
