    Dan Deacon, No Age, and Deerhunter at Memorial Union Terrace
    What happens when Baltimore songwriter and crazy sound-wrangler Dan Deacon's penchant for turning live shows into party-game extravaganzas meets with frantically rocking L.A. punk duo No Age and the sparkly, sinister textures of Atlanta's Deerhunter? Not a neat and orderly bill, that's for damn sure. Here, as part of a short "round robin" tour, the three artists will somehow line up all at once on the Terrace to swap songs and intermingle their membership on collaborative performances that'll ideally include new material from each. All these bands by themselves have a way of harnessing chaos in both live sets and recordings, so if anyone can pull off such a wildly conceived show, it's them.
