I NERD FOR BEIRUT!: beirut - 4 songs live @ music hall of williamsburg (july 5)



[for the 10 fans of this site, i have never hidden my complete adoration of the band beirut (aka zach condon and co). i try to catch these boys every time they perform on home ground and was surprised to remember that the last time they did a show was way back in feb of 2009! so when my trusted music BFF told me they were doing 2 back to back shows (for no reason other than to perform for their fans) i found myself being a total beirut nerd for 2 nights... and what bliss it was! check out some of the highlights that yours truly shot of night #1!!!]


Beirut - Postcards from Italy (July 5 @ Music Hall of Williamsburg)
[the most classic beirut number out there, but listen to how full the band sound now. so much more cleaner and polished... perhaps an insight to the quality of their upcoming album?]


Beirut - East Harlem (July 5 @ Music Hall of Williamsburg)
[i could just drown in this song. never before released, there's something about the melancholia of the tune, plus i totally get the distance issue of someone living downtown ever going to east harlem. same island, but damn it's far! by far one of my all time favorite beirut songs ever!


Beirut - Forks and Knives (July 5 @ Music Hall of Williamsburg)
[apologies for the beginning being clipped, i got lost in the accordion for a second before i realized i didn't press record. brilliant song though!]


Beirut - The Penalty (July 5 @ Music Hall of Williamsburg)
[first number of the encore and just simply heartbreaking. beirut... i love you!!!!]
