OKKERVIL RIVER invade NYC with Sound Fix in-store, Webster Hall show and Conan O’Brien performance

Okkervil River’s latest The Stage Names is out tomorrow (Tuesday, Aug 7) and like a giant ape just off the boat, the band has its sights set on New York City. In case the previously announced Sept. 28th show at Webster Hall (with tour mate Damien Jurado) doesn’t feel like it’ll satiate Joe and Jane Fan, we hope they’ll be stoked to hear that we’ve got two new confirmations for citizens of the Big Apple: an in-store at Sound Fix in Brooklyn on Aug. 18 (at 8pm) and a performance on Late Night With Conan O’Brien on Aug. 28. Since the former of the two is going to be a quaint solo affair, with Will Sheff playing songs from the new album to whoever can fit into the pearly gates of Sound Fix, the latter is a decidedly more public affair. We’re sure millions across the globe will tune in, holding hands in this new satellite age in the way they know best — in their beanbags in front of their TV, watching the band perform on a soundstage at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in the heart of Manhattan.
