Stream Dan Deacon’s Record Store Day 7″
Dan Deacon is set to release “Konono Ripoff No. 1,” a limited 7″ (500 hand-numbered worldwide) for this year’s Record Store Day. An homage to the legendary Congolese Konono Nº1, the song has been a fan favorite of Dan Deacon’s live shows for some time, yet has never been recorded until now. This 7″ features two versions of the track as performed by two sets of dual drummers: Kevin O’Meara and Jeremy Hyman on Side A; Denny Bowen and Dave Jacober on Side B.
The cover photo for the 7″ was taken at Whiteside Mountain near Highlands, NC by Molton Brouff, the winner of the crowd sourced Dan Deacon America Instagram contest presented by Aperture. Find out more information and see the gallery of submissions here: http://dandeacon.com/america
This Friday he performs a headlining show at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. Later this month he’ll perform at museums and art centers including the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, Mass MOCA, culminating with a special performance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on April 27. The Metropolitan Museum of Art show will feature the world premiere of two new pieces for large ensemble made up of Deacon’s band as well as So Percussion, What Cheer? Brigade Marching Band, NYU steel drum ensemble, LEMUR robotic instruments, and Yamaha Disklavier player pianos. The show will also be the first live performance of USA I-IV in it’s entirety.
