Okkervil River

On August 18, 2007, Okkervil River performed their poignant track "Plus Ones" live at Sound Fix Lounge in Brooklyn—a moment that resonates with fans of the band and the indie music scene. This performance came shortly after they released their album "The Stage Names" in 2007, which brought critical acclaim and showcased their distinctive storytelling through music. Interestingly, "The Stage Names" was a significant pivot for the band, steeped in themes of identity and the notion of performance itself, which aligns beautifully with the intimate setting of the Sound Fix. This venue, known for its cozy atmosphere and connection to the local music community, made for a memorable showcase of Will Sheff's emotive lyricism. So, it’s not just a live recording; it’s a snapshot in time of an artist shaping their narrative and connecting deeply with their audience. Isn't it fascinating how a simple live performance can encapsulate a whole era in an artist's journey?
