Poses were struck, clothing was removed, and fans' fingers were, um, liberally sucked on at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall over the weekend. It was, yes, just another night with Les Savy Fav, who unleashed their previously reported live album After the Balls Drop today (April 29). Songwriter and Frenchkiss labelmate Meric Long opened with his outfit the Dodos, and later lent his trombone skillz to Les Savy Fav's glorious racket.

Those Dodos have already delivered a Frenchkiss to their home country in the form of debut LP Visiter, and now they're ready to show some love to the rest of the world. Having signed on with Wichita Recordings, the Dodos will release Visiter in the UK on July 7. The label will herald the album with the single release of "Red and Purple" in June.

Both the Dodos and Les Savy Fav have plenty more live engagements on the docket, recapped for your viewing convenience below. If you look closely, you'll notice Les Savy Fav are due to rock ATP vs. Pitchfork in May, while both acts barnstorm our own Pitchfork Music Festival in July.
