“A Joint Set Of All New Material Jams Eternal”

Friday, July 11th, 2008

That’s what Dan Deacon has promised (via a MySpace Bulletin yesterday) when, on Sunday, July 20th, the final night of Baltimore collective Wham City’s very own Whartscape fest, he collabs live with Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) and Naeem Juwan (aka MC Spank Rock).

It’s unclear which show that day will bring the three men simultaneously onto the same stage (both an afternoon and a separate evening show cap the 4-day blowout) or what the name of this Supergroup is (can your SAK Correspondent suggest The Charm City Rollers?) but the fact that this remains largely unposted across the indie rock blogosphere until now is slightly baffling, as anything 12 hours old seems ancient when you’re typing it into Wordpress.

Update: The name of this super group? That’s surely what you’re asking your SAK Correspondent: Well, Who Is The Tunafish Man? Of course.

Devolution and Deaconlution–interspersed with just a tad of optimisim–are placed side-by-side over on The New York Press blog.

“I guess it should be stated here that no other band has influenced my music more than Devo.” –Dan Deacon
