Ballroom Marfa hosted The Dodos for their Marfa debut on,  March 22th, 2008. The Dodos build the barest of folk, rock, punk and psychedelic elements into a singular roar and their live shows are fabled.

Too raucous to be neatly included with the current psychedelic-folk scene — and too resolutely underground to be commercial — the San Francisco-duo the Dodos are anchored by furiously propulsive energy and indie-folk songwriting talent. The self-released 2006 album, Beware of the Maniacs, won them acclaim for drummer Logan Kroebers’s fierce wallop and Meric Long’s arresting vocals and guitar picking.
