Commercial Madness: Miller is Chill with the Dodos

Heard about this last week but had to wait a few days for someone to post the commercial on the internet. Congrats to the Dodos for getting some air time (although “Fools” might not be enough to convince me to buy a Miller Chill).

    That’s odd. Vagueries are my specialty.

    [...] The Dodos‘ Meric Long and Logan Kroeber combined their loves of country picking, West African Ewe drumming and heavy metal to create one of the more unique indie rock outfits today. No longer just the pride of San Francisco, their percussive and eclectic sound have made fans in all corners — from the headquarters of the hipster elite to the hallowed pages of the New York Times and all the way to Milwaukee.

    [...] The Dodos often employ a man who bashes a metal trashcan with a stick on stage, although his contributions are unfortunately muted on this acoustic thrummer from Time to Die.
