On December 5th, Dopapod continued their extensive tour in support of their recent sixth studio album, MEGAGEM, with a concert at Fayettesville’s George’s Majestic Lounge. The show opened up with an energetic “Vol. 3 #86” that got the crowd moving. Almost halfway through the close-to-nonstop first set, the crowd really started filling in and flowing more freely as “Trickery” went into “Sleeping Giant”. After a particularly intense “French Bowling”, the band transitioned through “Flipped” and “Nerds”, with the two smashed together into a unique and altered tune. The band ended their first set with “New James.” The first set felt like an entire show altogether.

After a monstrous first set featuring flawless transitions and heavy improvisation, the band took a break and began their second set with “Please Haalp”. Picking things back up where the band left off at set break, the song’s rhythmic and simple, albeit catchy, introduction featured keyboardist Eli Winderman, who laid the basis down for the smooth number. Upon finishing “Please Haalp”, Dopapod brought the high energy back with a rocking “Present Ghosts” and a standout “Weird Charlie”. “Weird Charlie” housed a monstrous, peaking jam that highlighted Dopapod’s unique sound and that featured teases of “Aerials” throughout.

After the jam, Dopapod moved into a” Turnin’ Knobs” sandwich housing an unfinished “Picture in Picture”. The band concluded their last set with “Cure” before departing the stage. For encore, Dopapod returned with two covers that drove the crowd into a frenzy, starting with AC/DC’s “TNT” and then finishing up with Britney Spears’ “Toxic$”. For a full list of upcoming dates, head to their website, plus check out photos from the show below.
