Okkervil River Plays Memphis


Okkervil River at the Hi Tone.

Along with spirited performances from Tim Regan and Dixie Dirt, the Austin based Okkervil River played their first show in Memphis last Thursday night. Throughout the night, the fellas contiuned to express what an honor it was playing a show in our fair city with its rich musical history. They even covered Big Star's "O, Dana". If you haven't heard their fabulous new album Black Sheep Boy you can check out the Pitchfork review here. Or better yet just judge for yourself by listening to a few mp3's on their site.
