Washington, DC's 9:30 Club turned just a little bit seedy last night as some New Pornographers rolled through town to peddle their smut totally catchy tunes. No Dan Bejar or Neko Case sightings this time, but the crew did bust out a cover ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down".

Tourmates Okkervil River, meanwhile, served up another barnburner with recent live addition Charles Bissell (of the Wrens) on guitar.

Both bands remain on the road together for the next week or so, before breaking for some scattered festival fun.
