Dan Deacon in Red Hook
The Dan Deacon Ensemble played yesterday in Red Hook Park as part of the city wide Summer Stage Series. The band cajoled the audience into a weird hula-hoop and interpretive dance ‘competition’, and unsuccessfully tried to get a couple of NYPD patrol cops to join in.

The show’s intimacy (enjoyed by a crowd of about 200) was in stark contrast to the thousands in attendance at the Coney Island show.
