The Dodos is an American indie rock band consisting of Meric Long and Logan Kroeber.
The Dodos began playing music together in 2005, when musician Meric Long, who had been gigging steadily in San Francisco as a solo singer-songwriter, was introduced to Logan Kroeber through a mutual friend (a college acquaintance of Long's that happened to be Kroeber's cousin).
Long self-released a solo EP titled Dodo Bird in March 2006, in which Long played all the instruments. While they performed the songs from this release, Long and Kroeber met and started playing together. They worked to blend Long's training in West African Ewe drumming and Kroeber's experience in metal bands to create music in which "drumming could be a center role and help bring out the syncopated rhythms coming out of the acoustic guitar."
The duo released the 2006 album Beware of the Maniacs, which was self-released under the "Dodo Bird" moniker. In support of the album, Long and Kroeber toured relentlessly for most of 2007. The band began to receive critical attention and developed a growing fan base. Fans began referring to Dodo Bird simply as "The Dodos", and the band decided to change their name accordingly.

Dont feel right wearing another man's shoes
Cant get a new pair until I've pad all of my dues
My cowboy boots have gotten too many holes
From getting kicked in the shins and stompin' out
But it's too far to heaven, can't hitch a free ride
Angels don't pick up losers so down on their pride
Still I stick out my thumb and I hope there's a chance
cause I can't coast on my looks and fake more romance
Cause I don't want to take you down, break you down,
and shake you down
I don't want to bring you up, just to leave you low
And break you down so down so down
I wasn't born no damaged goods
Just too the wrong road inward to a place all alone
Sure, I can pick out a new name, and I can wear some
new clothes
Just can't change the ending of how my story goes
I don't want to take you down, break you down, and
shake you down
I don't want to bring you up, just to leave you low and
Break you down so down so down
But things won't get better till I change em my own
Admit what I've done, unstitch what I've sewn
But if you travel with me, you'll just see that...?
I'm doomed to go nowhere at the aghe of 19
I don't want to take you down, break you down, and
shake you down
I don't want to bring you up, just to leave you low
