The Dodos

Those of us who went to see Okkervil River were given something of a treat as for the London gig of the tour they had the Dodos as support. This year's Visiter long player is shaping up to be one of the albums of the year, with it's intricate rhythms and thrashy acoustic guitars. In an all to short half hour set, they play most of the highlights from Visiter; Red and Purple, Jody, Winter, Walking. With guitar, drums, and an occasional "multi instrumentalist" playing a weird keyboard thingy and metal bin, the album translated really well to the stage. I expect to see these guys hitting the festival circuit next summer, watch out for them.

Couldn't find any clips from last night, but here's a couple from (mostly american) gigs:
