Beware of the Maniacs is the debut studio album by The Dodos.
In 2006 Yuri Landman built his Moodswinger for the band Liars and afterwards made a large serie of alternate string instruments like the Moonlander for Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, the Springtime for Blood Red Shoes and the Tafelberg drum guitar for The Dodos and others.
The Dodos were giving this live album away for free during the release of their third album Time to Die, for joining The Dodos website.
Time to Die is the third album released by indie folk trio The Dodos.
