Jam scene favorites Dopapod have announced a two-night New Years Run at The Madison Theater in Covington, KY on December 30th and 31st. Aqueous will open the show on Friday night, the first night of the run, while Consider the Source will serve as support on New Year’s Eve. The 2016-2017 run marks the first time that Dopapod will be ringing in the new year outside the Northeast. Covington, being just over the river from Cincinnati, is centrally located at the corner of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky.
Keyboardist/vocalist Eli Winderman elaborates, “The Ohio, Indy, Kentucky area has long held a special place in our hearts. We wanted to switch things up this year to keep the celebratory spirit fresh. The last three years in Worcester, MA have all been purely magical. We figure to preserve that, let’s take it to another region that has also always embraced and made us feel at home.” For tickets and more information, head here.
In the last two months, the quartet made festival appearances at both Werk Out and Resonance Music Festivals. The latter included a very special tribute to Pink Floyd. Most recently, the band was a fixture of last weekend’s Catskill Chill lineup, performing a full band set as well as various collaborations and themed shows Roosevelt Collier, members of Turkuaz, and more.
The New Years Run will come on the heels of Dopapod’s upcoming extensive co-headlining fall tour with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong presented by Live For Live Music. Head here to find out when this incredible one-two punch is coming to a city near you, and stay tuned for exclusive content from both bands on the road.
