Baltimore Dance-Punk Drills His New Song Into Your Head
There was a time when dance-music writers used the words “Woody Woodpecker beats” pretty frequently, to describe rhythms so fast and annoying there was no way you could dance (and sometimes, listen) to them. Leave it to Baltimore synth-punk Dan Deacon to take the analogy a step further. On the lead cut from his forthcoming Spiderman Of The Rings, Deacon, whose energetic shows regularly incite friendly mosh pits, not only revs his kick drums up to woodpecking speed but brings in Walter Lantz’s greatest creation to chatter on top of it. As the bird himself puts it, “Ha-ha-ha-HA-ha! Heheheheheheheh!”
