denopolis

Efterklang are joined by Human Highway (w/ Nick from Islands) in a Danish invasion of the Opolis tonight as they make their way to SXSW with some 1200 other bands. I expect that there will be upwards of 7-8 people on stage as Efterklang, who make their home in Copenhagen, bring their unique mix of Sigur Ros (was that too easy?) and Arcade Fire to Opolis's smallish room. This will definitely be something to see and remember and one hell of a nice kick off to your Spring Break week. Get there early - you don't want to miss Human Highway!

fun with furrys

Portland sextet, Blitzen Trapper, make a return visit to the Opolis tonight. Their latest album Furr has been a huge success what with its catchy tunes and all.
Also playing tonight is psych folky singer songwriter, Alela Diane. Her latest album, To Be Still, was just released on Rough Trade. We played a song from the album on podcast Episode 13 or you can take a listen below.
I can't think of any reason you shouldn't be there tonight, so go already. You may want to pick up advance tickets for this one - check Guestroom Norman early today (they may be gone already).
