Employ the ornithological metaphor of your choice or express wonderment at their persistence vs. that of the long-gone bird after which they are named: the Dodos have mapped out even more of their flightplan for much of the rest of the year. The clattering rhythms of their high octane live show will delight many an intercontinental ear through the next several months, and what's more, a whole bunch of the band's new European dates find them sharing stages with their fellow Best New Music recipients the Ruby Suns.

The Dodos have also plucked Visiter highlight "Fools" from the rest of the roost and given it its own UK single. That's due September 15 from Wichita Recordings.
