A star attraction of Groovin’ In The Moo 2009, Okkervil River has bided your calls for some shows on the side. The Texan indie-folk troupe will be regaling fans with songs from last year’s lauded LP The Stand Ins, as well as its illustrious forerunners.

Okkervil River has a very fine track record on these shores – its last tour in early 2008 had FL’s review team spouting superlatives all over the place. We expect much the same reception this time round.

In between getting rural with The Moo, Okkervil River will play the following club dates. Tickets on sale Friday 27 February.

Sunday May 3 – The Zoo, Brisbane
Tuesday May 5 – Capitol, Perth
Friday May 8 – The Annandale Hotel, Sydney
Sunday May 17 – Billboard, Melbourne
