Okkervil River Live at the MOG Party at The Mohawk SXSW

Last year’s MOG Party had one of the best lineups of any day party at SXSW 2010 nabbing an exclusive performance by The Black Keys. This year’s hit just about the same mark, featuring performances by Big Boi, TV on the Radio, Twin Shadow, Yuck and this early band, Okkervil River. OR are always a rocking good time. Frontman Will Sheff strums at his acoustic guitar with fervent energy. If you’re a fan of distinctly Americana-style rock (think Wilco) then this is your band.
