San Francisco, United States (2006 – present)

The Dodos formed in the early part of 2006 in San Francisco; shortly afterward, band member Meric Long released an EP entitled “Dodo Bird.” In support of this EP Long and Logan Kroeber toured intermittently from July through September 2006, after which they released their first album, entitled “Beware of the Maniacs.” In 2007, the band signed to the French kiss record label. In 2008, the band released a second album entitled “Visiter” and began a 17-venue springtime national tour. “Visiter” was named 3rd best album of 2008 by Under The Radar Magazine behind only Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend. The Dodos were also named 2nd best new(ish) act of 2008 by a Pitchfork Media readers poll behind only Fleet Foxes.

Listened to "Beware of the Maniacs" earlier today and was pleasantly surprised. Now listening to Visiter and loving it!

I found Time to Die to be an incredible disappointment, especially only a year after the amaaaaazing Visiter. But I can't deny that "This is a Business" and "Two Medicines " are stinkin' awesome.

Vancouver show was beyond enjoyable: small venue, flat gin and tonics, and the last (though slightly damaged) copy of Visiter on Vinyl.

Visiter is awesome. The more you listen the better it gets, I find.

to everyone here who isn't completely sold on time to die, all i have to say is you MUST see them perform some of the tracks live. Completely mindblowing. Two Medicines, Fables, Small Deaths, Long Form, Strums etc. INSANE. It's definitely a progression from Visiter. I can't wait to hear more of their STUFF. Also the Season live is incredible. you will feel goosebumps!

I love Time To Die. It's got some really high points and some lower points...but I definitely think it's one of my top 10 of 2009!
