In Photos: Okkervil River + A Classic Education @ The Button Factory, Dublin (18.11.11)

We caught the band's London show back in May, but last month saw Okkervil River crossing The Atlantic once again for a much more extensive European tour. The Texans' Friday night gig at Dublin's Button Factory was a solid run-through of highlights from their recent I Am Very Far LP, alongside selections from their now-considerable back catalogue. In other band news, Will Sheff and co. have just this week put out a new EP of covers, entitled Golden Opportunities 2, which you can download for free from their website.

Support throughout the tour came from Italian indie quintet A Classic Education, whose debut LP, Call It Blazing, is to be given a physical release in these parts the week after next via the always-reliable Lefse Records. Grab a free download of album cut 'Baby, It's Fine' right here.
