Dan Deacon came to Nashville last Monday and performed a stellar show at The End; Nuclear Power Pants and Totally Michael opened for him, and they were (almost) equally as brilliant.
I took quite a bit of video footage from all three bands, and perhaps offer some insight as to how awesome the whole night was. Be sure to check out BFM Podcast 19 [forthcoming] to hear more about my impressions of the night.
The first band was Totally Michael. He’s sort of a pop-rock act that’s conscious of hip hop culture. It’s exactly the most serious music, and it’s a lot of fun.

The second act was a group called Nuclear Power Pants. They are a bit more aggressive, and had more tendencies of psych-rock. The show had lots of glow in the dark objects, and people dressed up in costumes. There was one member on the audience floor opposite of me that you may not see. I think he was playing an oscillator or something, I’m not exactly certain.

Lastly, there’s Dan Deacon to show off. There were some parts of his show I didn’t record like the human snake chain tunnel. Everyone had to form a tunnel for us to pass through and work our way through back to the inside. I also didn’t record the last few songs. Wham City and Crystal Cat are my favorite songs so I compromised my good recording spot to get next to his recording table in order to actually enjoy myself and freak out a bit.

Be sure to buy his album too!
