Sydney Festival 2012: Dan Deacon Ensemble & John Maus – 11th Jan

Electro-shocker Dan Deacon is renowned for his riotous, feel-good live shows. For his Sydney Festival appearance, Deacon is joined by his five-piece ensemble, taking the party to a new level. Add to the bill genre-defying John Maus (part time keyboard player for Animal Collective, Panda Bear and Ariel Pink) whose live shows guarantee a night of madness and fun. Late night antics continue with Donny Benét wishing the Bar was a Vegas hotel lobby.

Late Night At The Bar: Donny Benét & PVT (DJ Set)
Solo artist Donny Benét is the son of Antonio Giacomelli Benét, the famous Italian accordionist who made his name recording popular disco songs of the 1970’s. Armed with a Drum Machine, Fender Rhodes and a Moog Synthesizer with a pitch bender that won’t stop, Donny will turn the Keystone Festival Bar into a Las Vegas night-time heaven.

Trading in their instruments to hit the decks and take the night out are PVT, whose latest recording efforts have had them touring extensively overseas and gaining a steady stream of critical acclaim for their accomplished, intense, experimental sound.

WHERE: Keystone Festival Bar, Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney
WHEN: Wed 11th Jan, 8pm
PRICE: Free after 11.30pm
