Wig Out with Dan Deacon
Remember this summer at the Pitchfork Music Festival? And how ridiculously hot and crowded it was and how everyone packed in like proverbial sardines to hear Dan Deacon play his kaleidoscopic electronica? And how everyone got crazy-happy until the set was shut down by fire marshals? (Let's just say there were too many sardines in the tin can.)
Well, his performance/DVD showing will be completely different from that. For one, it'll be far more frigid outside. And for two, Deacon will be at the relatively far comfier Lakeshore Theater to show Ultimate Reality, a collaborative DVD he did with Jimmy Joe Roche. Ultimate Reality will play on a giant screen, accompanied by Jeremy Hyman (Ponytail) and Kevin O’Meara (Video Hippoes) live on drums.
And before your thoughts turn to Pink Floyd and laser pigs, let me throw this at you: Ultimate Reality's content is Deacon's music set to a psychedelic montage of Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Enough said. The show is on Friday, Jan. 25 at 9 p.m., and it'll only set you back $8.
