Dan Deacon, the electroskronk dance-spaz wizard we wrote about way back in February (remember?), released his album "Spiderman of the Rings," this month. It's gnarly radical, or as one might say, gnardical. Today's the start of his summer tour, and he's hitting an absurd 42 cities by July 14th. Along the way, he's looking for some cronies in each town to join his Wham City choir. See below the jump for all the tour dates, but he's going to so many goddamned cities, odds are good he's coming to your town. If you'd like to be a part of the Wham City choir, send an email to dandeaconchoir@gmail.com. The first four guys and first four girls in each city to e-mail get robes, lyrics sheets, and the equivalent indie cred of catching a case of oral herpes from Thurston Moore and/or Kim Gordon. Be sure to put in the subject line what city you're gonna join the choir in, and whether you have girl parts or boy parts. Full tour dates, and a video for the single "Crystal Cat" after the jump.
