REVIEW: Okkervil River at WorkPlay

HEY HEY GUYS! I'm sick but I came up for air just long enough to enjoy Will Sheff's fine self at WorkPlay. I should reword that. After enjoying an AMAZING set by Crooked Fingers, I was lucky enough to catch Okkervil River for the first time live.

And it was JUST as intense as I thought. Maybe it was the extra doses of cough medicine, but I could've sworn that I have never seen the emotional intensity of a record transferred so well into a band's live performance. Will Sheff was miraculous and I can still hear the sweet sound of him wailing and head bobbing in my head.

Favorite songs of the night? 'Black' and 'The Latest Toughs'

Also, following in Sam's fine precedent set earlier this week, check out these sweet camera phone shots (sorry, couldn't get a photo pass):
