Tulsa is brimming with local indie talent this weekend at FreeTulsa! music festival, but last weekend an old stalwart of the national indie scene paid a visit to Cain’s Ballroom.
The New Pornographers ripped through a lengthy set of classics and newer numbers, but I was really wowed by openers The Dodos and Imaad Wasif. The former had about as much musical talent as I've heard in any new band lately and the latter looked a lot like Jimmy Page onstage.
