Okkervil River – The Silver Gymnasium Tour – Send Off Show @ Stubb’s
Thursday, August 22nd – 10:00pm doors
Stubb’s (inside)
801 Red River in Austin, TX
Our upcoming album, The Silver Gymnasium, will be available on CD, LP, cassette, and digitally on September 3rd at your favorite retailer. Pre-order now at iTunes and get the instant grat of “Down Down the Deep River.” T-shirt pre-order bundles are also available at the Okkervil River Store.
We’ve released a few videos recently to give you a preview of some of the tracks and to show you how excited we are for you to hear the rest:
“Down Down The Deep River” Open Mic Night
Will Sheff and his childhood friend Aaron Johnson perform a new Okkervil River track at various open mic nights.
School Bands
Will and Aaron reminisce about the old days playing in bands together.
“Lido Pier Suicide Car” (performed in the Silver Gymnasium)
“Lido Pier Suicide Car” is about singles bars, interstellar navigation, mysterious disappearances, charisma, cocktail hour, abandonment, and slimy things that crawl with legs upon the slimy sea. It’s kind of the dividing line down the middle of our album The Silver Gymnasium. This is a video of Will playing it in the Silver Gymnasium. The album version features optigan, wineglasses, casio, mandolin, and the very versatile and musical Roland JX3P synthesizer. This version is just Will and the 9-second reverb of a gym from the early part of the last century.
