Dan Deacon and friends offer unique concert experiences
The folks behind Baltimore’s Wham City are really starting to make a name for themselves. After another edition of their curated Whartscape Music Festival, the Dan Deacon led group have announced plans to bring their friendly styles and sounds to music fans everywhere. Only this won’t be your average tour.
The Baltimore Round Robin tour will see two-night stints at seven different North Amer
ican cities, in which members of Wham City will takes turns performing based on their music style.
The tour is divided into two nights. The first night (Eyes Night) is a mixture of folk, noise, theatrics, improvisation, music that is spiritual, dreamy etc. The second night (Feet Night) is devoted to music that you dance, thrash or otherwise move around to and is a mixture of electronic, punk, hardcore, dance, and rock and roll musics
The format of the show is as follows:
- All the bands set up at the same time along the perimeter of the room with the audience in the center.
- Each band does one song per round, no breaks, back to back to back etc., until the show is completed.
- There is no headliner or opener, no front row or back of the room
