The most underrated music festival and the supplier for one of my favorite weekends of music in 2010, Midpoint Music Festival is celebrating it's tenth anniversary this weekend. Think SXSW or CMJ, but in Cincinnati. The programers have excellent taste and the upcoming 2011 festival features fresh new talent and bigger names sure to impress. Due to scheduling conflicts and being in Los Angeles, I won't make it this year, but it's one of the three music festivals I even considered making the lengthy trip for. If you live anywhere in driving distance, drop [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News C. Taylor Crothers, FilmMagic Their avian namesakes may be extinct, but indie-rock heroes the Dodos are thriving -- even multiplying. Wednesday afternoon at Austin's Red Eyed Fly, as they played their first SXSW show since 2008, the San Francisco duo introduced their third member, a touring guitarist simply referred to as Chris. "Give him a big f------ round of applause," lead singer and guitarist Meric Long [...]

By eh Ah ha! In this hastily researched post , I mentioned an Animal Collective car commercial, but it turns out I was wrong on both counts. It was this Miller Chill commercial I was thinking of, and the band is actually The Dodos, a San Francisco psych-folk duo, according to Spinner . Here is the actual song, "Fools."
Psychedelic folk pop duo The Dodos are currently in Seattle recording their new album with Phil Ek (The Shins, Band Of Horses, Fleet Foxes). This will be the follow up to last year's debut, Visiter which was released on Wichita and charted high in many 'album of the year' polls. They'll also be playing the following shows in September: 01 - Glee Club, Birmingham 02 - Thekla, Bristol 03 - Bull Hall, London 04 - King Tut's, Glasgow 05 - Ruby Lounge, Manchester 13 - End of [...]
10. Steven Wilson - Insurgentes Con tantos proyectos y colaboraciones que ha hecho a lo largo de su carrera, lo único que faltaba era que Steven Wilson nos regalara un álbum 100% suyo. El líder de Porcupine Tree viajó a México y se enamoró del misticismo que envuelve a la cultura defeña . En Insurgentes el músico británico se aleja un poco del rock progresivo y nos entrega un álbum más experimental y oscuro. Desde que comienzas a escuchar "Harmony Korine" es identificable que Gavin Harrison [...]
På en eller anden måde synes jeg at det var lettere at opstille de 10 bedste albums i 2007. Om det er fordi der ikke er udkommet ligeså gode albums i år skal jeg ikke kunne sige, men jeg tror egentlig grunden til det er at jeg har lyttet til mange flere plader i år end tilfældet var sidste år. I år synes jeg også at der er kommet mange gode danske albums, hvilket gør at jeg har kastet mig ud i en separat top 5 over danske albums. Udenlandske 1. Vampire [...]
I've been pondering my favorite albums of the year, jotting notes and scrambling a bit to see what I've overlooked, as I'll be presenting my list here (presumably before the end of the year) and for Stinkweeds (as I did for their year-end booklet last year). The Dodos' Visiter is making a late charge. I admit: It was recommended to me by a friend at least three months ago (it came out in March, for crying out loud) and I've only recently cozied up to it. But, seriously, I [...]

Está claro: la de The Dodos es una fórmula de directo, basada en la energía y en la manera en que ésta pasa de un cuerpo a otro, o del cuerpo a lo que tocamos, o de lo que retumba contra lo que hemos tocado. Logan Kroeber y Meric Long saben bien de qué estoy hablando. Y en este vídeo de "Fools", una...
Non avevamo ancora parlato dei The Dodos e credo spetti a me farlo, con quel loro nome che mi ricorda qualcosa! Sono in due ma spesso riempiono di suoni le loro canzoni da sembrare una band completa. Arrivano da San Francisco: Meric Long e Logan Kroeber, rispettivamente voce e chitarra-ardita il primo, batteria e percussioni-incessanti il secondo. Hanno qualcosa in comune con i White Stripes? No, se non per la formazione chitarra-batteria e malgrado il percussionista arrivi dall'hard rock: il loro approccio è decisamente folk. Ma giocano un po' con generi diversi, a volte battendo ritmi [...]
Marching Band is an indie rock duo based in Linköping, Sweden. The band just finished recording their upcoming release "Spark Large" with Adam Lasus, renowned indie rock producer of such artists as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Army Navy, Yo la Tengo, and many more. Mastering Engineer Greg Calbi (David Bowie, John Lennon, and The Ramones) mastered in May and the album is poised to drop with great fanfare in a few short days on August 5th. While the group does use the mainstay rock sounds of guitars, drums and bass guitar, they also employ [...]
From their debut EP "Karma" out August 5th Starting out in the early days of February 2006, RALEIGH thrived on the idea of creating a style of music that would keep their listeners wanting more. RALEIGH would not be classified as veterans of the Indie/Post Hardcore music scene. However, do not let this sway your opinion on this new 5 piece out of the South Shore Massachusetts area.

- Frequenze Reviews - Recensione n. 73/2008 The Dodos - Visiter Nell'anno di grazia 1981, vedeva la luce uno stravagante album di un duo proveniente da una colonia africana sulla luna. Brian Eno e Robert Byrne costruirono (probabilmente senza esserne pienamente consci) una fantasiosa impalcatura tecnica su cui, da allora, poterono salire moltissime band a venire: My Life in the Bush Of Ghosts [...]
I know I said some mediocre things before about the live show from The Dodos . I think I may have been wrong, because every single person I've talked to who has seen them live is incapable of shutting up about how good they were. Maybe they had an off night. Maybe I did. Either way, I'm really hoping they'll blow me away tonight, because their latest, Visiter , is one of my favorite records of the year. I'm a little disappointed, though, because I was really hoping there [...]
The Dodos: Jodi (mp3) You give us bread, you keep us warm What I do for you in turn I leave you with this memory stained Between the sheets, under the rain Your face is pale, your lips are red Your eyes are dark, you might be dead But I will [...]

San Francisco crew - The Dodos play T he Great American Music Hall on April 27th and a [...]
