Djo, the rock music project of actor/musician Joe Keery, who played an extremely sold-out show in Oakland just a few months ago, returned to the Bay Area on his “Another Bite Tour” to play the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on October 18th. It’s been a big year for Keery: He played Coachella, starred as Stephen Malkmus in the movie-within-the-movie of the Pavement pseudo-history film Pavements, and recently released a deluxe version of his third record, The Crux Deluxe. Not to mention another big project he’s got coming out later in the year: The fifth and final season of the show that put him (and his luxurious locks) on the map: Stranger Things.
Keery’s former band Post Animal once again opened the show, with Keery joining them onstage for the final two songs of his set. Then, it was Djo-time, with Keery hitting the stage to the rapturous delight of the packed house. Djo and his band (which included multiple members of Post Animal) tour through an 18-song set, including his biggest hit to date, “End of the Beginning,” and closed out the show with “Flash Mountain,” (and joined by all of Post Animal) from his debut record Twenty Twenty.
