Photos: The Dodos [New York, NY; 04/06/08]
Photos by Drew Katchen
Though their namesake is an extinct bird that cannot fly, San Francisco duo the Dodos seem to get around pretty easily. In the past few months, singer/guitarist Meric Long and drummer Logan Kroeber have crisscrossed the States a number of times.
On Sunday, a sold-out crowd gathered at New York City's Mercury Lounge to hear songs from the Dodos' new Frenchkiss album (and Best New Music selection) Visiter, and to watch a jittery Long and Kroeber play vigorously enough to cover themselves and their instruments in generous amounts of sweat.
Vancouver's No Kids and Norway's Silje Nes opened. Check out photos of all three acts and Dodos dates below.
