Fleet Foxes And The Dodos Play A Shadowy La Blogothèque Soirée

La La Blogothèque threw a party at the end of May and invited Fleet Foxes, the Dodos, Vandaveer, Essie Jaine, and Noah And The Whale to play. As that FF still suggests, it was a dark night, offering sharp contrast to the Foxes light-as-air melodies and the Dodos buoyant harmonies and "The Fools"'s stick work. That said, some non-Foxes join-in on "White Winter Hymnal" and kinda fuck-up the crystalline harmonies, but that sort of things happens at parties, right? (Note: It's different when the non-FF's are Wilco or two Swedish girls.)

Fleet Foxes - "White Winter Hymnal"

The Dodos - "The Fools"

You can go deeper into sets by FF and the Dodos plus the other party bands via various streams at La Blogothèque.

Dodos look like they put on a cool live show. I had a chance to see them at Siren, but didnt catch their set. Now I think that might have been a mistake

That girl behind J.Tillman who thought it would be a fucking great idea to join in should be hunted down and shot. How irritating for them.

I think it is rather disrespectful and unintelligent to refer to First Aid Kit as "two swedish girls", do a little research, please. But I guess Stereogum wouldn't mind if we referred to it as "some random website"

They are "two Swedish girls." Stereogum is also a "music website."

I liked when a Dodo fell off his chair at Pitchfork because he was so into it.

The dodo vid is so sublime. Paris at night is so surreal. What a combo.
un probleme, I tried to find the dodo "Fool" vid @ the blogotheque site and couldn't find it.
Is it under a different name or what?

please, please, help me out

Mike
