I was wondering if anyone had seen them and how good they are live. They are going to be playing Omaha in October, and as of now I am into checking them out, but don't want them to be another one of those overhyped bands that is mediocre to bad live.

Go.

only seen them once but they were very good live

You absolutely need to go.....they are actually a band that I feel sounds BETTER in a live setting.

Thanks everyone so far.
I was pretty excited to see their name on the Pollstar schedule, so I'm glad everyone has had positive experiences.

go! esp if okkervil opens

I would definitely go if Okkervil River was opening. I have seen them play here in Lincoln a couple times. They, Clem Snide and Troubled Hubble seem to play Lincoln about three times a year.
