There is no mystery surrounding Jonathan Meiburg's departure from Okkervil...Jonathan's main band, Shearwater has also found more mainstream success, so he left to concentrate on Shearwater (check them out if you haven't, they are awesome). At Okkervil's show at Emo's in Austin recently, both Brian Cassidy and Jonathan joined them on stage for a rousing rendition of "Lost Coastlines." It was so wonderful as I had completely missed both Brian and Jonathan with Okkervil, being a recent fan.

This is my 6th time seeing the boys and have seen the many changes in the line up.they were as ever great and never cease to amaze me. Im still trying to solve the mystery of john meiburg and Wills separation or am i just fantasizing that there is a mystery.as i feel tension between the two.as i met with meiburg a few weeks early at the roadhouse in manchester. any way what a great show.
