Dan Deacon's touring ensemble lived through a few breakdowns (of the bus, not the band members), Satan worshippers, a sink hole, trailer parks and snarky caption writing, but before it was over, our Chicago correspondent Will Deitz checked up on their vital stats. For Deacon, leading a big group of performers nightly (instead of simply himself) was like "wearing pants your whole life and then getting a really comfy robe." Please enjoy as Dan Deacon slips inevitably into the third person while recounting his Spring 2009 tour.
