Okkervil River - The Stand Ins

Now then, I never got round to writing a proper live review of Okkervil River supported by Dawn Landes last Friday in Manchester.  I would have liked to though, because it was a marvellous gig, probably one of the most enjoyable I have attended this year.   I was surprised Okkervil River were playing such a small venue (Club Academy) as the only previous time I saw them was on the main stage at the ATP Festival in 2008.  But anyway, I did play tunes by both Okkervil River and Dawn Landes in last night’s show, which went like this…

The Dodos – Fables
Trashcan Sinatras – People
The Very Best Of – Zam’dziko
Bibio – Lover’s Carvings
George Pringle – LCD I love you but you’re bringing me down
Dawn Landes – Love
Okkervil River – Pop Lie
The Beatles – Tomorrow Never Knows (mono)
HEALTH – Eat Flesh
M̼m РHullaballabal̼
Simian Mobile Disco – Cream Dream
Girls – Lust For Life
APSE – 3.1
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis – Song for Bob
