Deacon, or Joshua "Deakin" Dibb of Animal Collective, played his first ever solo show on the first night of the new decade here in Baltimore, Maryland. This show was a precursor to his trip to Africa, where he was invited to play the Festival au Desert in Mali.
This was the unveiling of his solo material, and part of an amazing evening at the Ottobar that included Jason Urick, Daniel Higgs, Zomes, and Moss of Aura.
Below are the MP3s of Deacon's set, and photos from the entire night.
Deacon played five new songs, all of which he's decided to exist unnamed for the time being. Josh said he'd update me with track names once he had reached Germany from Africa and had a better internet connection. Here's the audio, but please link to this post when sharing it with others:
MP3s: Deacon live at the Ottobar - January 1, 2010
Taper: Charlie Hughes
Soundboard: Rob Girardi
Ottobar 1/1/10 Baltimore, MD
Chrissy Abbott was able to shoot the whole night, and the full photo set is in the flash gallery at the bottom. Deacon is currently in Africa, and plans to write a book and put out a new album in 2010. Look for real nice things to come.
Normally I'd share my thoughts on new material, especially for those that have inspired us in so many ways. However, for this night I just want the content to be out there, and the show to be remembered.

thanks so much! going to listen to this now. so sad i missed the show. keep on doing what you do best!
this guy is just totalllllly ripping off animal collective
Is audio for the rest of the night going to be released?
Unfortunately the original taper couldn't make it last minute, so a buddy of mine at the show ran home to grab equipment. He only had enough battery power for one set to tape, but did a damn fine job in the clutch.
Mega thanks to Charlie on this one.
2nd file seems to be corrupt. won't let me unpack it.
thanks a lot regardless.
second track works for me and everyone else we've spoken with that has downloaded it.
you need to try using different software to open the zip file. Enjoy dude!
I guess I'll try to re-download it.
what program will properly unzip the files? winrar and winzip both say that the 2nd file is corrupted. thanks
Anon - I just tested the file and it worked fine for me, I used windows to extract the files.
Email me later today and I'll be happy to send you track 2 :)
I also am having trouble getting the second track to work. Used winrar, 7zip, winzip, and windows explorer... it's corrupt.

Hi Jared, its still seems to be working great for me, but I'll go ahead and re-upload later today just to be sure.
Thanks Brett! It's just track 2.

Deak in the house! Always thought Anco lost something when he kicked them out of his solo project.

POWER OF THE DEEKS!
