Beirut - May 18, 2008

Music Hall of Williamsburg [10:45 pm - 12 pm-ish] ~$20

Luckily a few of us got to catch Beirut's last minute Brooklyn gig. Even though we all had to wait in a ridiculous will call line Zach and the band were excellent! We finally got in around 10:45 and the band took the stage around that time. Zach was his usual happy, boyish self and the band have only gotten better. The (at times) ten piece sounded wonderful. The horns, guitars, ukalalies, strings, etc filled the Music Hall. The crowd and band were enjoying the vibes felt throughout the venue. Check out the set list below and you'll see why we were all so happy to make it to this somewhat impromptu set. Zach and the band have definitely left us looking forward to their next album (due shortly!?.).
