El Perro Del Mar | 2007 Tour Dates (SXSW?) + Joe's Pub pics
DOWNLOAD: El Perro Del Mar - God Knows (MP3)
"This album really took me by surprise. For some reason I initially wrote it off as something twee and not my cup of tea, but then I gave it a second shot and after a few listens found myself hooked on her brand of melancholia. The songs are simple, repetitive, yet weirdly have infinite playability for me. I have yet to get sick of this one...not sure if I will anytime soon." [Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste on El Perro Del Mar]
El Perro Del Mar @ Joe's Pub | Nov 13, 2006
I saw El Perro Del Mar play Joe's Pub back in November when she played 4 NYC shows in a row. I don't think I ever posted about it because this website was all messed up at the time. It was also around the time I was obsessively listening to her self-titled album (the one Ed Droste expresses his love for above) - it was that obsessive period that led me to list her album as one of my favorites of 2006.
The Joe's Pub show was good - not spectacular or anything - she sounded like the album, so see her if you like the album (which at least one person I'm close to DOESN'T).
Is El Perro Del Mar big enough to play Bowery Ballroom? (are Under Byen?). Because that's where she's playing on March 1st. All tour dates & more pics below....

saw her at her last nyc at Mercury lounge and she played w/ Annuals and A-sides. She played second and the place was like sold out packed and then when she was done alot of folks left. I'd say she can do bowery.

I've heard "God Knows" at least twice on Sirius's Left of Center. BOR-ing! It's repeatedly repetitive.
