The National add 5th NYC show -- Beirut to add 4th?
DOWNLOAD: The National - Fake Empire (MP3)
All three Beirut shows are sold out, and three of the four National shows are sold out. There are still tickets for the Tuesday National show, and tickets go on sale Wednesday for a fifth National show with The Philistines Jr opening (June 1st). Will Beirut try to catch up?
"Boxer", The National's new album, is out on May 22nd via Beggars Banquet (the new home of St. Vincent). MP3 from that National album above. More tour dates at the National's site. An MP3 of Beirut live at SXSW is here.

People are definitely beginning to come around. I'm really excited for these guys, they deserve it.

they sold out webster hall last may. so it's not that surprising they can do 5 nights now at bowery.

I'm leaving after The Philistines Jr

Five nights? I saw this band once about two years or so ago. If you told me they'd be selling out five nights at Bowery ballroom, I'd laugh in your face.

They're good. But not 5 nights at Bowery good - that's like a fucking residency.

boxer is so good. can't wait to see them when they come to dc in late june. last time i saw them i loved their show even though i wasnt too big on any of their albums. now that there's an album out i've really clicked with, i think i'll like their live show even more.

I just checked ticketweb and it's showing that the only national show that's sold out is the Thursday night show. I'm glad they added a Friday night show though...

actually, all of the shows are sold out now, except for the 5th show that's just going on sale.

Beirut needs to add a Friday or Saturday show, not this middle of the week garbage!

"I just checked ticketweb and it's showing that the only national show that's sold out is the Thursday night show. "
the reason you thought this is because the search results on ticketweb now often make it seem like the show is not sold out, but if you click on the show - it is sold out.
