I have missed Do Make Say Think every time they have come to a city near me.

After almost a decade after having first discovered the band that I consider to be one of my greatest musical/cinematic influences,

I think I will finally get to see them perform live.

-Rejoice-

The two-piece folk/afro/country-blues union of Meric Long and Logan Kroeger have returned with their third full-length album, Time to Die. The Dodo’s are based in San Francisco, where indie rock, post-punk and folk are progressively becoming more dominant. But, what makes The Dodos stand out is how hard it is to pin them into one genre. With extensive classic training and modern appeal, the duo seems to blossom with bigger sounds as each album releases. Time to Die is more polished than the older two albums, but it still says, “Dodos”. There aren’t as many grand blood-rush solos or spinning rabbit holes of intense drumming found in the new work, but Meric’s voice is still quite blissful and very to-the-point.

Here’s “Fables” from Time to Die

warpaint is in my head.

I’m not the type to go see just any band play live anymore. I used to do it all the time, but it began to wear on me after seeing so many bad live acts and paying too much to get in. Tonight I shall put my current favorite musical artist to the test…and I doubt that he will disappoint.

SInce I missed out on Grizzly Bear’s show last year (I know… such an idiot) , this will be my first time seeing Daniel Rossen perform. And, well…he’s an inspiration lately, so I think I’m pretty excited.

Tonight, tonight, tonight!

Department of Eagles, live at the Troubadour. SOLD OUT.

UPDATE:

Here’s a little itsy bitsy portion of my view from the show. This is a new song and I was standing just behind this camera, enjoying every bar of the piece.  Sorry it cuts out early, but you get the idea…
