Admit One: Dan Deacon + Ultimate Reality

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Dan Deacon rocked it last night. Complete with sing-a-longs, dance contests, and a 5 minute quasi-yoga work out at the beginning of the show.
As a warm up for Deacon's set, Ultimate Reality stirred the crowd up. In case you've yet to hear/see Ultimate Reality they basically are two drummers who play over Dan Deacon made music. In short they are very good. What really stood out about them was the video that accompanied their set - a psychedelic mix of diffrent Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Yep, good times.

Dan Deacon's set was the main draw though, it had all the bells and whistles that have made him stand out in today's scene. Eager concert goers all crowded around Deacon's table where they played with hand held strobe lights, light bulbs, and a trippy green skull while singing along and dancing their asses off. It was more of a party then a show - but either way even after listening to Spiderman of the Rings, you really need to see Deacon in person to get what it's all about.
