Summer Stars: dopapod

Despite the goofy palindrome for a name, dopapod is all business. Rising up from Boston house parties and the prestigious Berklee College of Music scene, the quartet—made up of keyboardist Eli Winderman, drummer Neal “Fro” Evans, bassist Chuck Jones and guitarist Rob Compa—have been selling out venues and winning over the ears of fans during the past few years. “The feeling you get from a good show can’t be matched,” says Winderman. “When everyone onstage is connected and playing their best, it’s an amazing feeling. The energy from a good crowd, and the genuine happiness that fans get from a good show is incredible.” dopapod’s music is a complex mixture of Primus-funk, Yes-influenced progressive rock, livetronica and as their bio states, “pre-post rage core.” The group recently released a live compilation album titled I Saw Live dopapod Evil Was I , followed it with their sophomore studio album, Drawn Onward —featuring funky electronic-influenced tracks—and are hitting the road this summer for festivals ranging from Camp Bisco and Camp Barefoot to Catskill Chill and Rootwire.


Favorite summertime food: Fried Oreos and Jerry Rolls

Best album for a warm summer night: James Brown, In the Jungle Groove

In the forest versus beach debate, I choose: The beach because I grew up around forests my whole life. And as much as I love them for some things, you can’t beat a nice day at the beach!

I think there’s an error as stated by laalaallla.I don’t know if there’s another duet with the song 梁山伯與茱麗葉, but the one that’s released by Genie 卓文萱 is actually a duet with Gary Cao 曹格 and not Xiao Gui 小鬼.As for the album itself, I’ve only started listening now. I like 西界 track. The other tracks, I need more time to listen.
