Okkervil River live at Scala

I decided to go see them the day before they were playing, tickets were still on sale and I really enjoyed the song Alice put on my mix cd so I decided to pay them a gigging visit. The gig was awesome, I was sly enough to check out their latest setlist and make a playlist out of it so I knew some songs during the gig. I managed to smuggle my dslr camera using my usual smuggling technique and got loads of photo action. They played at Scala, Kings Cross, the beauty of this venue was that there wasn’t a gap between the band and the fans, we were literally next to the stage, meant I could take some nice shots. The lighting was amazing (it’s a club so it should have epic lighting) so the photos turned out really good. I got some real crispy action!


I really enjoyed the gig, will definitely catch them again next time they play! Made me listen to their stuff some more afterwards, though I had another gig lined up on the same week which I only bought! Got to love impulsive gig attending. Some epic songs during the gig were Black and A Stone
