About

THE DODOS IN CONCERT:

Indie rockers The Dodos bring a polyrhythmic complexity to their epic folk-inspired tunes in concert. Meric Long’s acoustic guitar work gives the songs a vibrant, earthy pulse, creating a wall of sound characterized by fervent strumming and intricate jazz chords. His cohort Logan Kroeber further accentuates these unique songs with his booming, rapid-fire drum work. The two brilliantly crisscross each other’s churning rhythms as Long croons masterful melodies and hopeful lyrics. This two-man tour de force is sure to thrill ticket buyers with their powerful blend of indie, folk, and world music whenever they hit the stage.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Meric Long (guitar/vocals) met Logan Kroeber (percussion) through the latter’s cousin, who frequently attended Long’s solo gigs in San Francisco. The two began playing together in 2005, discovering that Kroeber’s metal chops were well-suited to recreate the complex African-inspired drum patterns present on the singer’s self-recorded 2006 EP Dodo Bird. That same year, the pair released the full-length Beware of the Maniacs before undertaking a lengthy promotional tour. With the release of the critically acclaimed album Visiter in 2007, they made their official debut as The Dodos while their cult following continued to grow. Their 2011 outing No Color also generated buzz based on contributions from guest vocalist Neko Case (formerly of The New Pornographers), who harmonized perfectly with Long on over half of the album’s songs. Building on the strengths of preceding albums, the band released their sixth album Individ in 2015, marking a new epoch for both their complex instrumental prowess and their immediately powerful hooks. Both in concert and in the studio, The Dodos continue to please audiences everywhere with music that feels both densely intricate and immediately enjoyable.

    Dodos were great when they finally came on.

    by Emaciated on 10/5/09House of Blues Dallas - Dallas

    The Ruby Suns opened for the Dodos on Oct 2 at the House of Blues in Dallas, Tx. The Ruby Suns had solid music that, while enjoyable and fast-paced, had a lot of sampling instead of pure live music. The band, while playing was quite energetic and versitile, constantly switching instruments and roles for various songs, but the ammount of sampled music meant many songs had one member standing calmly or playing a single note while the tempo of the music was fast; slightly disorienting to watch but, as i said, still good to listen to. The Dodos were everything I expected, playing a variety of songs from all of their albums with the twists on the norm one would expect from musicians of this caliber. I was anticipating Jodi from the start of the set and they made it even better than i'm used to. Go see them, because words are inadequate to describe the Dodos live.

    Dynamite!

    by ike7000 on 10/3/09House of Blues Dallas - Dallas

    The Dodos were fantastic. Their live performance was energetic and they delivered a sweet show. Meric alternated between three guitars, one of which was quite worn but sounded sweet. Logan was in the zone and tore it up. I still don't know who the third member was but he fit in quite well. After they finished their set the crowd kept cheering so they came back for one more song.

    by Jesc on 10/3/09House of Blues Dallas - Dallas

    I don't get a chance to see many shows, and never before have I been blown away by an opening band i've never heard of. They were contagiously fun and rocking out badass at the same time. Awesome live show with the singer goin at some drums set up along the front of the stage. Dodos were awesome, lots of energy and love the new stuff.

    Dodos - what a head wobbling workout!

    by deirken on 8/28/09Rickshaw Stop - San Francisco

    The Dodos break a sweat about five minutes into their set and so did I. Loved the jangly guitar and the bowing of the vibraphones.

    Dodos show was truly awesome

    by nonotme on 8/28/09Rickshaw Stop - San Francisco

    The Dodos at The Rickshaw Stop in SF 8-26-09 Fantastic. Really, really great band. Seriously talented. Amazing energy. The whole place (sold out crowd) was overcome with happiness and jumping up and down. After an incredible set the crowd called them back for two awesome multi-song encores. Highly recommend you see The Dodos live.

    Amazing show by an amazing band

    by Cait25 on 8/27/09Rickshaw Stop - San Francisco

    Dodos are San Francisco natives, and it was like they had a special show in mind for their homecoming. Awesome energy, almost perfect (for me) setlist, and TWO encores. TWO! One of which was the first three songs from Visiter in a row! Definitely one of the best live shows I've been to in a while.
