One of my very favorite bands that I've been listening to for the past year is one my friend Josh introduced me to called Okkervil River. If you haven't heard them you should fix that. I was lucky enough to see them here in New York at Webster Hall last year, and they were truly off the charts phenomenal up there on stage. This is a great band to go see if you generally feel that live concerts do not live up to the band's studio sound. These guys really live up to and exceed in person what you get from listening to their albums. Their energy and creativity on stage is so grand - and I do mean LARGE, sweeping, explosive - and utterly contagious.
Here is a music video that is sure to mesmerize you, if you're into that sort of thing, being mesmerized I mean. Believe me when I say that it is worth watching from beginning to end (about 1:07 min. it gets really good and doesn't stop til the last minute.):
