Beirut

_________________________________________________________

The past few weeks I haven't been able to go a day without listening to a song by an extremely talented band entitled Beirut. With front man Zach Condon spending his life in Paris, and New York he is able to bring mixtures of different cultures to the groups music. I mean, how often do you see a band where the lead singer plays the french horn and their also happens to be an accordion player? His voice is on a completely other level and is so hypnotic-al and whimsical it can make you feel like you actually are in a foreign country when listening. Beirut is coming to Los Angeles in late May for two shows and I'm crossing my fingers that I come into some funds and get to see them live. You can check out a few songs they have up on their myspace here.
