Maybe the heat made me hallucinate, but Dan Deacon’s ridiculously (almost scary) energetic live show converted me to a fan. Despite the hype, I could never get into his album and found myself somewhat perplexed over his recent popularity. However, his show at McCarren Pool this past Sunday proved that I seriously need to re-evaluate my opinion. While playing inside the pool (which I believe is a first for any artist at the Pool Parties series), Deacon injected his unique humor into the mix, trying to get everyone in attendance to participate. Whether it was mixing in with the crowd while singing, or creating the giant dance-off contest(he asked everyone to open up a hole for people to dance that would be large enough for “Less Than Jake and Mustard Plug to set up all of their equipment”), he seemed to generate smiles and laughter from everyone watching his performance. His synthesized beats and rhythms make the perfect soundtrack for a dance party and Dan Deacon created just that, heat be damned.
