Part two of Cave Week has arrived. Tonight we are lucky enough to host the unforgettable live presence of lovable goofball Dan Deacon. For those of you expecting an experience similar to Tuesday's incredible Atlas Sound/Broadcast/Selmanaires show, you are sorely mistaken. Let me suggest you dress as you would for the gym. It's best to keep an open mind when going to a Dan Deacon show, but one thing is always a certainty: You will get sweaty. For a further description of a typical Dan Deacon experience, click here.
We are also extremely fortunate that Nuclear Power Pants are opening for Mr. Deacon. Their shows have been described as "absurdist carnival freakshows from the surreal and paranoid tail-end of an acid binge." NPP just released an LP last month, "Wicked Eats the Warrior" on Deacon's label, Wham City. Synth-driven songs with plenty of feedback? This band was made to play at the Cave.
Here's a video of one of their tracks, "Teeth of a Lion":
Anyway, doors open tonight at 9pm, NPP start playing (hopefully) at 9:30, and Mr. Deacon takes over at 10:30. It's cold and rainy outside, but it may be a wise idea to dress in a t-shirt and shorts; apparently at the last Dan Deacon show here two years ago it got so hot in the Cave that sweat literally condensed from the ceilings onto Deacon's equipment.
