• The three reasons this show is my second most anticipated are found in the three performers of the evening…
• Girl Talk: I’ve never seen Girl Talk live, but I have listened to Night Ripper quite a bit and I have watched videos like the one below, which lead me to believe a Girl Talk live performance is just one giant dance party. There is nothing better than a dance party especially when recognizable songs whiz by almost before you can even recognize them. Non stop energy and non stop dancing can not be beat. Check out Girl Talk at the Montreal Jazz Festival:
• Dan Deacon: I saw Dan Deacon earlier this summer and it was amazing. His weight, enthusiasm, and clever countdowns create a friendly atmosphere which helps alleviate any reluctance to convulse and shake to Dan’s hyper Baltimore beats. Like Girl Talk sometimes does, Dan allows himself to be swallowed by the crowd he is performing for, which helps create a special bond with his audience. His music is rapid, fun and he’ll even pass out lyric sheets so everyone can sing along. Oh, and I’m not the only one in love with his live performance. Read what Nialler9 wrote about his Dan Deacon experience and then watch a video of Dan at the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival:
• SMD: I’ve never seen SMD or Simian perform, but I’ve really enjoyed SMD’s Attack Decay Sustain Release as well as their new EP, EP. Oh and their video for Hustler is amazing and all of that is good enough to make me excited for their set.
• The show is Sept. 14th at Avalon. Tickets can be purchased at the Orpheum Theater box office.
