We adore this San Francisco band, The Dodos, with all our hearts. One of the best live shows we’ve ever seen and this is, without a doubt, a superb example of their intense presence. There are four songs performed live in this same setting (click on the image above to view the video) and the song this links through to is, in my opinion, their best example. All are worth the time to enjoy, though.
Please do enjoy.
