Description
Solid Entertainment presents San Francisco band the Dodos, who bring their spontaneous, unhinged psych-folk rock to NZ for the very first time. The Dodos will play live at Al’s Bar in Christchurch with support from Kiwi band The Ruby Suns.
The Dodos were the pick of the 2008 SXSW Festival and they have been marked out as one of the must see bands of the year.
"Every once in a while an album emerges from the wild undergrowth of indiedom to blow you away. This is one of them" (The Sun)
"Across an amazing seven shows in four days the band literally blew our minds - we saw beautiful acoustic shows where the vocals and words shone out, and then gigs that had everyone talking about Led Zeppelin and ROCK!!" (Wichita Records).
The Ruby Suns, led by Ryan McPhun are an Auckland based indie band signed to Lil’ Chief records. McPhun has also enjoyed stints in Tokey Tones, The Reduction Agents and The Brunettes with whom he toured the US with The Shins.
Tickets available from Ticketmaster. Phone 03 955 0044.
