Riddled with characters real and fake, with the relics of high culture and the crumpled up trash of low culture, THE STAGE NAME is a cinemascopic take on the meaning of entertainment in the modern world. Reverberant with echoes of Motown snap and girl group pop, redolent with ripe whiffs of dirty rock'n'roll, shining with the shimmy of Bo Diddley, with the shimmer of the Velvets, with the swagger of the Faces, and with a glittery sprinkling of cheap perfume to disguise the stink, THE STAGE NAMES is a relentlessly paced and ruthlessly thrilling journey. ## Images ![STAGE NAMES - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81D87SN6N+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really impressive indie-rock style album *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2008* I know that these guys were one of the indie darlings in 2007 but I didn't get into this album until 2008. However, I am glad that I did. The album is a great mix of songs of varying tempos, and the 9 songs on it feel like just the right amount.The first two songs are really great up-tempo numbers, with the second song, Unless Its Kicks, the real highlight of the album. The lyrics are fantastic, with each song telling a unique story and repetitive lyrics and choruses typically avoided. The writing is very clever this way as it really sounds more like stories rather than the typical verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus routine.The slower songs are great as well. Savannah Smiles is a song about reading his daughter's diary and lamenting the innocence lost with youth. It seems like a wise-beyond-one's-years type of song as I'm assuming that the author isn't actually old enough to have the teenage (or older) daughter he describes in the song.Plus Ones is a clever song that took me a few listens to realize what was going on. They've cleverly woven songs from the 70s onward into this song's lyrics. Essentially, songs such as 99 Luftballoons, 7 Chinese Brothers, 50 Ways to Leave your Lover, and others, get the "plus one" treatment. Very clever the way it was turned into a story.Title Track is the only dud as I see it on the album. There are a couple of minor drawbacks. While I'm not concerned about foul language, there were just a couple of instances throughout the album that prevent me from playing it when the kids are around, which is a shame because there's so much to get out of the album otherwise. When they're just a little bit older and I don't care what they hear I'll certainly play it around them, then.The album ends with John Allyn Smith Sails which re-works the Beach Boys' Sloop John B in a very energetic way and makes for a great ending to a great album. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ at same height!! *by E***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2009* No es de extrañarse que cada material que escuchemos de esta banda de Austin Texas nos proyecte una atmosfera única y cada vez mas refinada. "The Stage Names", nos mantiene en el mismo nivel que su antecesor "Black Sheep Boy", sin llegar a repetirse, pero si conservando una línea ascendente que puede llevar a esta gran banda a solidificarse en la escena...100% recomendable!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1 of 2 *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2008* this is one of 2 Okkervil River albums i own. I liek them bot very much. they are mellow and get me in a fair mood or take me through times that i dwell. I will definitely be buying them again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/5634513-stage-names](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/5634513-stage-names) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
