DOWNLOAD: Beirut live on KEXP during SXSW (MP3) (more)
"Despite significant sound problems, the crowd lurved Condon's every move, whether he was singing or playing either ukulele or trumpet (or maybe it was a cornet). He sang in French and in vibrato-filled English, covering Gulag Orkestar and Lon Gisland material." [Pitchfork]
Beirut @ Emo's, Austin, TX - Mar 14, 2007 (CRED)
I missed both Beirut shows @ SXSW, partly because there are three more chances coming up to see them in NYC. Currently in Los Angeles, the band needs some extras to star in a new video:
We are looking for people of all ages to be extras. The video shoot is on Wednesday, March 21st and the hours you will need to spend with us are between 4-8pm. Dancing and costume-wearing may well be involved. If you're interested and free on that date please email to jib0613@yahoo.com as soon as you can.Grab more KEXP SXSW MP3's on KEXP's blog.

It was a really fun set. Great tunes. Great energy.
However, by the way Condon sat on stage with a cigarette and a beer while his band set up, and the way some of the fanboys in the crowd were acting, and you would have thought this guy has been touring for years - or that you were at some sort of pentacostal revival.

I'm the proud owner of most of that mess of tape.

It was a lot of fun. Amazing show. It was actually the highlight of the night, for me. I'm glad I found this.

For the way Condon sat on stage with a cigarette and a beer while he created his banda, and how some of the Fanboys were acting in the crowd, and you would have thought that this type has been on tour for years - or who were in a kind of renaissance pentacostal.
