Darwin Deez, one of hottest tips on everyone’s lips is hitting Liverpool with his sing-along hipster anthems and amazing dance routines straight outta NYC on May 7 at The Masque.
By now you would probably have heard his debut single Constellations, complete with handclaps and his opening crib of Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star, but his debut, self-titled album heralds many more songs to treasure.
From the bright qand breezy Radar Detector, to the barbed riposte Bad Day to the lovelorn croon of The Bomb Song, all of which he wrote and recorded entirely on his own, in his apartment, on one mic and his PC.
Someone get Bill Gates on the phone, we have a new I’m a PC poster boy.
Deez’s live shows, extravaganzas of unbridled energy and unfettered joy, each and every one of them, with him being known to break into spontaneous bouts of synchronised dancing mid-song (an extension of which can be seen here in his viral video, The Spring Dance.
Darwin Deez is a true original. He talks about his songs being “a little bit “Thriller”, a bit Dismemberment Plan”.
He gets as excited about new bands like Everything Everything as he does about the new John Mayer album (although he confesses that it was “not really for me”). And he laughs off any spurious vocal comparisons to Julian Casablancas, saying “I love the Strokes, and I get the similarity, but he draaaaaaaaaws his words out”.
He is a singularly brilliant, hilarious, complex, entertaining individual, and writes songs that will make you want to bust out your dancing shoes while also touching that raw, emotional nerve in your body. He is everything a pop star should be and so rarely is. Embrace him now, before everyone else does…
