It’s tough to tour with two of the biggest indie bands out there and not get a little competitive. Rumor has it that Dan Deacon was a little pissed when Bradford Cox of Deerhunter and Randy Randall of No Age participated in a friendly dance-off during their Milwaukee tour-stop earlier this month and didn’t invite him. Sure, Randy ended up dislocating his shoulder from said dance-off, but Dan considers it karma for not inviting him in the first place. The dude may be a tad corpulent and wear glasses as fragile as your grandma’s, but that doesn’t mean he can’t kick it on the dance floor. As a result of their falling out -- again, as rumor has it -- Dan has decided to embark on his own solo tour this fall, describing the upcoming jaunt as: “an expansion of my floor show set, immersive experience, heavy emphasis on visuals.” He'll be presumably touring in support of his exclusive track for the TMT benefit comp.
