Okkervil River has two very exciting shows coming up in the next two weeks.

This Saturday, April 21st, the band will play a very special hometown show as a 21-piece band at the University of Texas' Hogg Auditiorium. They will be playing a one-time-only orchestral set backed by a full string section, horn section, and backup singers from Austin band Brothers and Sisters. The show will be recorded and will feature rare songs and fan favorites spanning the group's 9-year catalogue alongside new material the group will be unveiling from its upcoming 2007 full-length release. In addition to this, the band was asked to open for Lou Reed on April 30 for the already sold out grand opening of New York City's new Highline Ballroom. Reed recently named Okkervil River as one of his favorite contemporary bands on the MTV Video Music Awards.

Stay tuned folks for more info on Okkervil River's new album, set for release this summer!

Lou Reed, impressive. Will Sheff's mom was my Spanish teacher in high school...I should have taken advantage of that while I still could.

I think Hogg Auditorium is for UT students only.
