Okkervil River

On May 25, 2010, Okkervil River participated in a memorable live performance with Roky Erickson at Webster Hall in Manhattan. At this time, the band had just released their album *The Stage Names* in 2007 and *The Stand Ins* in 2008, both of which solidified their reputation for weaving intricate narratives into lush soundscapes. The live recording of “Stand for the Fire Demon” captures an interesting moment in both Okkervil River's and Erickson's careers, highlighting their unique collaboration. It's not just a performance; it's a blending of generations—Okkervil's modern indie-rock vibe bouncing off Roky's psychedelic influences, creating a sound that pays homage to the past while pushing forward. Additionally, this particular venue is famous for its vibrant history in hosting legendary acts, making their collaboration even more special. There's something magical about seeing artists come together, bridging the old and new, right there in front of that "Fire Demon" at Webster Hall!
