Why is the opening crowd noise or whatever always labeled as Pavlov’s Siren? What’s the story there?
It’s not just crowd noise, it’s technically a walk on song. It’s an improvised ambient song that (I believe) their sound guy (or light guy) plays via the Brian Eno app on an iPad.
Thanks! Cool concept, I dig it
yeah, it was Luke (both sound and lights) on an ipad app of some sort
Love the old school X-Men cover
@bluish you hit up the foco show on 2/15?
Ngl this is some of the best jamming and loosest playing dopa has put out there in a while.
Highly recommend the Man or Machine > Grits segment, if not the whole show. First set is also great.
Was having a shitty day pretty much right when I clocked in at 7 and putting this show on for my post-work exercise through making dinner and doing dishes fully made my day noticeably better.
no, i had too much to do for school. i heard the ned show was excellent as well.
had a friend go to her first show in steamboat and she did not like it lol
Thats good to hear. I havent listened to Dopapod in a while. Ill check it out. Theyre playing here in May. They’re very hit or miss, but when it hits it fucking HITS. I’ll never miss a local show.
I’ll get to the ned and steamboat shows soon. Sad to hear your friend had a bleh first show, hopefully it doesn’t turn them off the band.
Things have been hit and miss this tour. Manitou was pretty meh outside of a decent Ebb and Flow.
They’ve been pretty weak from ‘23 to now so obviously I can’t blame you for not going, especially with school obligations on the line. Hope everything is going well for you personally and career-wise.
Totally agree. When they’re locked in it hits so hard.
I wish they came to SoCal more often. Only got 4 shows under my belt and 1 of them was a 6 hour round trip, but it was also the best of the 4 so no complaints.
Seeing Dopapod tonight, been I think around 6-7 years since I last saw em. Don’t think I’ve even listened to any Dopapod in that span either, so I’m pretty excited to hear where they’re at these days
Oh shit in mke tonight. Tell me how the new venue is
I’ve seen a couple shows there so far and I really dig it, but I’m biased. It’s a little bigger/nicer Back Room at Colectivo if you ever went there.
Yep, saw wye oak there. See you there for circles?
Definitely, see you there!
I, too, will be there. Bort meetup probs in order
Sounds like a good time. Have a feeling i wont want to leave my little corner of the strip after the show, though. Time will tell. Been meaning to give them a fourth chance for like a decade
Hell yeah. I’m super pumped for the opener too
Really enjoyed the show last night. Vivarium is such a great new little venue. I feel like Circles will be a lot of fun in that room.
