Truly. I've been listening to this band for about a year now. Not regularly, but i've given them listen a couple times. They're great.

I've just started listening to them P&C. I hadn't heard of them 'til about a month ago

Haha, I may have to get into them again. I was so far into them when I was going through my indie folk rock phase. Along with Bright Eyes and all of them. Granted, I love the genre, but i've just grown away from it for the time being.

Okkervil River are touring Australia and on 18th October are at the Metro Theatre which is a small venue. Hope I get the chance to see them

The Metro is as great little venue.

Okkervil River put on a good live show. I have seen them in Austin a couple of times. I was really happy to see them back up Roky on his newer album.

I'm a pretty big Roky Erickson fan, so I got to know this band better as I listened to their collaborations.

Unfortunately, a lot of Roky fans don't care for Okkervil River. There has always been bickering around here about wether or not they compliment him.


Here are a couple songs with Okkervil that I liked...

Goodbye Sweet Dreams (With Roky Erickson) live at South by Southwest in Austin

You live near Austin - lucky you! Thanks for posting those two vids Shame Roky wasn't touring here with them.
