Dopapod

Dopapod—the word has no defined meaning, but if it did, it might read something like: improvisational jazz, energetic funk, progressive rock with intellectual lyrics. The first time I heard Dopapod was in a muddy field in Illinois, and suddenly time stopped. The band has that effect on people; their music transcends the physical and takes us into a metaphysical realm where thoughts dominate our being. Hailing from the music-juggernaut city of Boston, this four-piece jam band refuses to be categorized or underestimated.

Tonight, Bell’s Brewery is hosting Earth Radio and Dopapod in its backroom. Much more than a simple backroom, this 500-plus capacity venue rivals similar spaces found in larger cities. The stage has ample room, and fans have everything they need to kick back and enjoy a night of amazing music—which is exactly what’s in store for us tonight.

Night two of Dopapod’s Michigan run starts with local favorite Desmond Jones. This five-piece ensemble hails from Grand Rapids and has played nearly 1,000 shows in 12 years. Fast-paced, high-energy original music is the band’s trademark. Part of their story is the themed uniforms, and tonight’s maroon jumpsuits are pure cool.

Breaking from their traditional palindrome-centric titles, Dopapod boldly releases their latest album, Aiboh, aligning with the commencement of palindrome week. The date, 4/20/24, not only signifies the start of this numerically unique week but also heralds a new era for Dopapod, as they explore the depths of musical symmetry without the confines of a palindromic album name.
