As I mentioned Dan Deacon in my last blog entry I thought I should write a little something about him. I could tell you that he has been described as an absurdist electronic music composer and performer. I could also tell you he uses some very basic synths, and effects units to make some of the most high energy, driving, psychedelic, electronica you have ever heard. I could also tell you his lyrics don’t make sense, at least sober. However, that’s all been talked about and really you have to discover him or yourself. Instead I have a few observations on why I think he rocketh
1) He doesn’t care that he’s a nerd
2) He probably doesn’t care that an asshole like me would call him a nerd
3) The music is full on, fun, raw and it rocks.
4) He demands audience participation through his regular dance off competitions where he asks people to dance “sassy as fuck”.
Quite a bit different from a U2 concert. Anyway, enjoy the interview and you can check out his music on youtube.
All I want to know now is when is he coming to Japan? Well come on Dan tell us?
