Wow, no one leaked that info on here yesterday. Who knew about this?
BV did you know about this show beforehand and not tell us?
I say all non in the know people boycott the upcoming Beirut shows. Let the few weasly hipster insiders go to all 3 shows which would fill about 1/4 of the venues.

"BV did you know about this show beforehand and not tell us?"

no

>>I say all non in the know people boycott the upcoming Beirut shows.

give me a break.

Is Beirut going to add a show on Tuesday?

There was also a secret Fiery Furnaces show at Mercury on Tuesday that went unreported.

Anyone know what the last song they played was? It was pretty awesome.

I was told it was a rehearsal show for friends and family. Coco66 is pretty dope bar, $3 magic hats.

"There was also a secret Fiery Furnaces show at Mercury on Tuesday that went unreported. "

that was invite only

$3 magic hats! holy fuck!

i paid $5/beer at the yard last sunday...i still cannot believe that

The new beirut album is okay.

Hey BV or others is there any neato Halloween shows?

limited tickets to the fiery furnaces show were on sale at other music, and it was actually mentioned - before the show took place - on a couple of other local music sites. hardly a big secret!

the fiery furnaces wasnt invite only, info on how to get tickets was included on the other music newsletter, which i'm pretty sure a good amount of people on this board subscribe to.

ah, this explains the huge crowd last night - walked by on the way to dinner at paloma next door. i hear this place is the new kokie's.

no, the new beirut album is supreme! i liked three songs on gulag. i like FOUR songs on flying club cup.

what's the other music newletter?

the newsletter for the record store other music

i may have an extra ticket for tonight's show in brooklyn. post on here if you're interested.

is the fort greene show sold out?

i emailed BV at 7.30...i should have posted it in the comments, but i was looking out for #1!

coco66 posted bulletins on myspace about it. it wasn't necessarily an "insider" show.

There was a secret Beatles reunion show at Lomzynianka on manhattan ave in greenpoint on Tuesday night. John Sounded amazing.

BV did you know about the beatles reunion show beforehand and not tell us?

where the heck is Coco 66? I'm a Connie O's man myself.

Ringo seemed wasted.

The last video was a cover of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. I guess it is almost a requirement for bands/singers of a certain ilk to cover Lenny C... This (Beirut's) version is nice... I am sure they spent a lot of time listening to his records.

sorry, i just realized you ment the last song AT THE ACUCTUAL SHOW. Which I, unfortunately was not at. OOPS.

coco66: 66 greenpoint ave (near franklin)

so where's the show in ft greene, please?

Secret Beatles reunion gig was fairly meh..

BEIRUT SHOW WAS AWESOME.

these guys are the best this week by far!

the masonic temple so kick major butt.

Beirut is an over-rated one-trick pony.

Am I missing something?? Or am I just not cool enough to like this guy? I think he's overrated! the lil' dude can't sing! "uhhhhh,,yyaaa yaaaaa....the lights go oonnnnnn, the lights go ooonnnnnnn......breeeaathtaaaking......"

and dont tell me I "just don't get it", because I think Postcards from Italy is a great song, but he hasn't got it right since. I went to a show of his at the troubadour and the horns are loud and all but the gag gets old. Reinvent yourself Zach!

oh shit i just realized this site is called brooklyn vegan...well that explains it, if you live in brooklyn and you're a vegan and/or hipster then you gotta like Beirut.
