NO DEACHUNTER AT THE BROOKLYN BOWL

NO DEACHUNTER

Brendan Dunn leads an interpretive dance at the Brooklyn Bowl during Dan Deacon's set of the round robin super jam NO DEACUNTER feautring Deerhunter and No Age along with Deacon. I am in a ponytail laughing hysterically at what might have been one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

GO HERE TO WATCH: THE MAN IN THE MUSTARD SHIRT

It was truly a great show and a great experience. Highlights, notable moments, presented chronologically:

1) VINNIE'S PIZZA! Great little pizza joint, serving quirky pizza slices. First time there, damned good. Dunn got the Mac Attack (mac and cheese and bacon on a slice) and I got a nachos supreme slice. Funny decour and the dude behind the counter was a great guy.

2) SHOW RAINED OUT -- Lame. Sad in front of the gate.

3) OH, REALLY? Amidst hasidic jews we over hear the show has been moved to the

4) Brooklyn Bowl

5) LONG LINE -- Dunn tells a 19 year old to shave the pubes off of his face, talk Blink 182 with some dudes, gin, Banquet beers, cut the line when I meet some Syracuse people up in front.

6) MORE WAITING -- briefly meet Bradford Cox of Deerhunter -- maadd skinny. Nice enough guy.

7) IN. Get some beer (Brooklyn Lager BLAST) meet a guy from Berlin who tells us he's playing Bethpage Black this week. NICE.

8) Meet Dan Deacon.

GRG: Hey, Dunn, that's Dan Deacon.

DUNN: DANNY!

DAN: Hey.

GRG: Yo, Dan, I heard that Lee "Scratch" Perry is sitting in with you guys tonight.

DAN: False. Where'd you hear that? False.

GRG: I just made it up. But you should play "People Funny Boy".

DAN: You should play soccer.

9) Meet Avey Tare of Animal Collective. The dude is wearing a bucket hat with a murse holding himself and it looks like I am scaring him. I tell him I don't wanna be offputting, I just wanna say hello, that I enjoy his music. I ask him if he's sitting in with the bands tonight. He chuckles and says, No, and I tell him that he's modest -- it's good that he didn't want to steal their thunder. During this time Dunn calls him Payne Stewart and "Eva Negre".

10) Discussion with Dunn, based on our meetings with Deacon and Tare, of how the indie rock scene is full of straight pusses who don't know what rock and roll is. Dunn wants more 80s hair band partying.

10.5) Dean, drummer from No Age, comes over after we continually yell "YEAH!" at him. He comes over. A little more of bro but after he leaves the discussion continues.

11) CONCERT BEGINS. LOUD LOUD LOUD. Awesome jam at the beginning, so much sound. No Age rocks hardest, Deacon tad gay, Deerhunter damned solid. Dunn does his thing. Moshing. Excellent show.

12) Bradford Cox tell us all "To do the right thing" and leave so other people can get in for the second show, advising us to do a bunch of things -- including sex -- but then he thinks better of it and tells everyone not to have sex. See note 10.

13) New York, New York exit music. Best song of the night? Singing in the bathroom.

14) Bum stogs outside as many people approach Dunn and call him Mustard shirt man. Funny. A girl on the subway asks him to sign her copy of Spin magazine.

15) Reflection

Great time, a lot of fun. Can't wait for more shows. The change to the Brooklyn Bowl improved the show though there was some bullshit along the way.
