Dopapod brought two high-energy sets to a packed house on Saturday night at Dunedin Brewery’s sold-out 5th Annual IPA Festival. Rob Compa, Eli Winderman, Chuck Jones and Neal Evans, purveyors of seemingly endless experimentation — which finds them pushing stylistic musical boundaries through improvisation amidst performing original pre-arranged material — hail from Brooklyn by way of Boston, and brought Dunedin a lightly hopped variety of styles, ranging from metal, jazz and electronica to disco and straight-up dirty funk.
