Dan Deacon debriefs the crowd
Baltimore’s most spastic electronic musician, Dan Deacon, doesn’t quite operate at the same level as you, me, or even most other touring musicians. He generally performs from the middle of the dance floor. His most prized prop is a glowing green skull. And he has been known to cause seizures in the elderly.
Lucky for you, he’s coming to the 930 Club on Sunday, May 17th. And this is the first of two pairs of tickets we are giving away to see him. To enter, simply answer the question below as both a comment and an email to Zack@thenewgay.net:
With acts like Dan Deacon, Ponytail, Yeasayer and Ear Pwr gaining prominence, it’s pretty indisputable that Baltimore’s music scene is kicking the ass of DC’s. Why?
Most bizarre or creative answer wins. Contest closes on at noon on Friday.

dc has been dead because it can’t change. dc used to be the shit, i mean dischord in the 80′s and 90′s was unfuckwithable, but alas like seattle scenes it had to fade. dc has been trying to come back, there are still some great bands here, and some even get national appeal, deleted scenes , the points. new york is the only “constant” scene but even nyc could be considered flavor of the month, i mean after the early 90′s what did it do until the Strokes. since the big cities have been exploited, art had to move and new scenes formed in areas where living is cheap and bands can survive working at a restaurant and playing gigs in small locations or in the case of baltimore art spaces, coke-filled warehouses and the ottobar or talking head (r.i.p. sorta). baltimore can “kick ass” (note, i don’t really like many b-more bands aside from double dagger, or beach house) because it still is cheap as shit, plus MICA is there. in a year or two b-more will cool down, and then maybe columbus ohio will get its fair share of the hype, it almost did but tnv and psychedelic horseshit isn’t enough. all hail the midwestern weirdoes.
