Sea Wolf's debut album, Leaves in the River, has been in my constant rotation for the last year and a half. I made it up to the Belly Up last week to catch them for the second time along with Austin based, Okkervil River, which I wasn't too familiar with.
Sea Wolf seems like a hybrid between a band and solo project, led by Alex Brown Church. His male bass player and drummer seemed pretty uninterested, while his female cellist and keyboard players were extremely impressive. Here is a clip from 'The Promise'
Okkervil River was the headliner for the evening and the tour. Having only listened to them a couple times, I was pretty surprised by their set, I guess I just assumed it would be folkier... (if thats a word) Will Sheff gave quite a theatrical performance as documented below.
