November 24th 2008 05:54
The Dodos Australian Tour
Brisbane and Melbourne Shows and Supports Announced for January 2009
And Playing On The Sold Out Fleet Foxes Show In Sydney
One of the most engaging albums of 2008” 4/5 Mojo
A sensation 4/5 The Guardian
Every once in a while an album emerges from the undergrowth of indiedom to blow you away. This is one of them 4.5/5 The Sun (UK)
Nothing short of spectacular 4/5 The Brag
Renegade folk twosome 4/5 Q magazine
Pounding drums delivered like bombs dropping 4/5 The Times (UK) (live)
Superb...One of the best releases of 2008 Rave
Not before time, these San Fran folkists give the kiss of life to an ailing genre
8/10 NME
Watch The Dodos here.
With superlative after superlative being laid upon their wonderfully freewheeling second album, Visiter, San Francisco's The Dodos will tour Australia for the first time this December 08/January 09.
Whilst lots of late-2000s indie bands boast of archaic and/or exotic influences, few use them with the playful energy and brash creativeness that The Dodos do. Country-blues finger picking meets African rhythms and metal drumming all tied together by memorable pop hooks might sound like an all-too-wacky description on a band's Myspace page, but The Dodos turn these far-flung elements into delightfully natural sounding and infectiously melodic music.
Initially just a two piece, but now expanded to three for performances, The Dodos exude raucous energy and visceral intensity in a live setting, stretching the folk blueprint to snapping point by playing it like it was good, old fashioned rock'n'roll.
Don't miss the Dodos this Summer.
