SHOW: The Dodos @ TLA, 6/11

POSTED: Tuesday, June 7, 2011, 3:00 PM

Sometimes a step backwards can also be a step in the right direction. For San Francisco’s Dodos, a return to their successful duo setup and longtime producer was just what they needed after 2009’s lackluster Time To Die. Guitarist Meric Long and drummer Logan Kroeber recorded most of No Color on their own, with a handful of vocal appearances from Neko Case. The album is a refreshing effort, evoking the tribal feel of Visiter, their breakthrough. The Dodos’ live shows are breathtaking in the how Long and Kroeber sprint from the beginning of the set to the end. With a new batch of songs that really show off the dynamics that the pair can achieve, this show is sure to be a thrill. w/ Gauntlet Hair, 9 p.m., $15-$23, TLA, 334 South St., 215-922-1011.
