Okkervil River found themselves out in the land of movie stars last night, as they played L.A.'s Troubador on the opening leg of their massive tour in support of their Best New Music-tagged new album The Stage Names. Fellow Secretly Canadian/Jagjaguwar family member Damien Jurado opened.

Will Sheff and co. will cross our shores from one sea to another 'til November, when they'll cross the sea, too. A European tour takes them through December.
