About
DAN DEACON IN CONCERT:
Indie electronica whiz Dan Deacon has been an emblem of sonic experimentation and no-holds-barred live performances for the past decade. The circuit-bending, beat-mangling, day-glo-loving underground hero’s frenetic live shows are among the most legendary affairs in DIY electronic music. Extensive audience participation, costumed dance contests, and chopped and screwed sounds straight out of a broken arcade game are just a few of the reasons Deacon remains the reigning king of off-the-wall, wtf-worthy concert experiences. Fans of futuristic sounds and blissed-out live performances won’t want to miss him as he continues to unleash electronic music’s wildest, wackiest dance party on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Long Island, NY-born Dan Deacon played in a ska band in high school before going on to study music at State University of New York in Purchase. While in college he played tuba and guitar in various bands while also performing solo material and releasing his first two albums Mettle Mice and Silly Hat vs Egale Hat (2003). He went on to study electroacoustic and computer music in graduate school while continuing to steadily release DIY albums. Deacon scored a breakthrough in 2007 with Spiderman of the Rings, his first commercially distributed album and a critical hit that landed on numerous year-end lists. He followed up in 2009 with Bromst, another critical success that Pitchfork named one of the year’s best albums. Since then Deacon has continued to release solo material and tour extensively while also composing pieces for an impressive variety of performers, ensembles, and film directors including So Percussion and Francis Ford Coppola.

by JJ on 11/24/219:30 CLUB - WashingtonDan Deacon is one of the best performers touring, and I was incredibly happy to see him on this tour. The 9:30 club is an incredible venue and all the staff there are amazing and hard-working to ensure an excellent time for all. I felt safe with COVID measures in place, I had a great view of the stabs and had an absolute blast at this show.

by cloudrider on 11/10/21Neptune Theatre - SeattleDan Deacon puts on a show that feels like riding a moonbeam on a rainbow road, filled with so much magic, ingenuity and connection, and yes, I was sober. This was a beautiful night.

Rating: 1 out of 5 Terrible!
by BradPeterson on 1/3/16The Wiltern - LASounded terrible, did not entertain anyone except himself. Super weird and do not recomend.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Horrible!
by BradPeterson on 12/20/15The Wiltern - LAHe opened for Miley in LA last night and... he was so bad! The audience was so bored and disgusted of the weird hand gestures and jumping. He gave lots of people headaches with this annoying sound and voice effects. He is so weird and needs to give up on his career. Do not recommend unless you want to be weirded out and have a headache.
Rating: 5 out of 5 The Art of Audience Participation!
by zotrus666x on 11/25/15Madison Live! - CovingtonI have never been to a show where audience participation was at such a premium. A dance off, a tunnel of people holding hands, the hive mind dance and the Wall of Life! This was such a fun and emotional show, I totally recommend anyone with an opportunity and even a passing affinity to electronica to see Dan Deacon at least once!
