Have any of you heard of them? Just found out my co-worker plays bass for them and I'm wondering if they're worth checking out. They're apparently on a hiatus but I've heard they're decent...

I saw them at the Spanish Moon two or three months ago. They are good, definitely worth checking out.

my favorite track of theirs.

They are a great band. They can be a bit pretentious at times, but Will is a really great wordsmith and songwriter.
Black Sheep Boy and The Stage Names are fantastic and their best records, IMO.

Okkervil River is a great band and Will Scheff is an amazing songwriter. I saw them when they opened up for The New Pornographers at the HOB around 2006ish. That combo made it one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

While I lived in Austin, I got to see them quite a bit. I really enjoy their music. My favorite song is Lost Coastlines
