Dirty Projectors / Dan Deacon + orchestra

The show last night at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple was pretty epic. I got the ticket a while back being stoked to see Dirty Projectors for the first time, and then this whole orchestra event emerged. A group called So Percussion opened the show, and part or all of them played in the orchestra, or army as it was sometimes referred to. Dirty Projectors was fantastic. They played a lot from Rise Above, which I think I actually listen to just about every day. I love how they are so traditional in form, but their approach is incredible/unique. Dave Longstreth's vocal stylings are amazing. And then came the orchestra. It was the premier of the whole thing, and even though it was rough in spots (and a few songs were just Deacon alone w/ ipod) it ruled, and was very fun to dance to. There were so many people and instruments on the stage, and so many (pro-style) cameras going! Like paparazzi. Folks were damn excited, rightly so.
