Yip Deceiver - MedalliusYip Deceiver - Medallius

Commanding randy analogue fantasies whose booty-shaking party-bots lay down slippery Minneapolis-style funk, Yip Deceiver’s contagious and outrageous dance-floor get-downs crack wise, play hard and groove up a storm. Possessing a devoted eighties-weighted R & B soul gated, shaded and retro-plated in New Wave neon and ironic synth-pop electronics, the colorful collaboration between Athens Georgia’s Davey Pierce and Nicholas Dobbratz happily freaks with phat beats and tongue-in-cheek chic; hip-swiveling fun served in bristling squiggles, sunny vibes and salacious grinds. A secret treaty between guilty pleasures and half-forgotten treasures, “Medallius,” loots history’s toy-box to assemble a sharp salute to golden baby-boomer goofs. In what promises to be an evening of riotous revelry, YD opens for the fabulously radical Electric Six March 21st at Madison’s High Noon Saloon.
