B-More Musicians Bringing Round Robin on Tour

by dklein on August 13th, 2008

This may be the coolest, most innovative music event to come around in a while…Dan Deacon and friends from Baltimore are touring the country to play two nights in various city of a “Round Robin” concert. This means that all the musicians, including the likes of Beach House, Jana Hunter, Adventure, and of course Dan Deacon, will sit in a circle around the perimeter of the venue with the audience in the middle and will literally go song by song around the room. Each night will have a theme, the first night being “Eyes” (bands that focus on folky, dreamy music) and the second night will be “Feet” (bands that focus on upbeat, dance-y music). Full lineup and dates below:

The “eyes night” artists: Beach House, Creepers, Ed Schrader, Jana Hunter, Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez, Lexie Mountain Boys, Nautical Almanac, Santa Dads, Teeth Mountain, WZT Hearts.

The “feet night” artists: Adventure, Blood Baby, Dan Deacon, the Deathset, DJ Dog Dick, Double Dagger, Future Islands, Height, Lizz King, Nuclear Power Pants, Smart Growth, Video Hippos.
