gorilla vs. bear presents: Dan Deacon


flyer by david

We are happy to present Dan Deacon and his Wham City homies on their seizure-inducing-acid-trip "Ultimate Reality" tour, live at Hailey's on January 12. If you haven't seen this guy live, you have no idea what you're missing; we were skeptical when he rolled through Dallas last summer, and we all walked away converted Dan Deacon fanclub members. Conveniently, we have a couple pairs of tickets to give away. Just leave your favorite '80s baseball player in the comments, along with your e-mail address. Or you could actually buy tickets here (I'm predicting a sell-out). Here are a couple mp3s and the best Deacon-related video clip of all-time:

mp3:
Dan Deacon Don Mattingly
Dan Deacon Crystal Cat



******************************************

You can check out an Arnold Schwarzenegger-heavy preview of the Ultimate Reality tour here. Warning: A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. We at gorilla vs. bear cannot be held responsible for that shit.

Rusty Kuntz of course.

My favorite of the 70s would probably be Dick Pole.

Mature is my middle name.

Jose Canseco.

1-Rick Ross namedropped him in a song.

2-He played for the Rangers and pitched once even though he wasn't a pitcher.

I am crushed that Kent Tekulve is already taken. I cannot bring myself to pretend there is better and therefore I must abstain from this contest...

*Excerpt from Mickey Tettleton's wikipedia page- Tettleton was recognized by his unusual batting stance: he stood almost straight up at the plate, bending only when the pitcher began his delivery. He was also distinguished by the huge wad of chewing tobacco he kept in his cheek during games, as well as his claim that Froot Loops were the source of his hitting power and kept monkey balls in his back pocket for good luck.
-He may have only been around in the late 80s but he was the best player of the decade those reasons above...monkey balls? I just wish I had thought of it first
