I was harsh on Beirut at first, but the first album's really good
Ah, Zachie!
Me love you long time!
Any idea

that london date
is a smidge over a year to the day that i saw him first support calexico at the very same roundhouse. makes you think.
What does it make you think of?
Nope

he's playing as part of Swn -full details of which should be being announced NEXT WEEK!
HURRAH.
Excellent.
And Two Gallants playing in Bristol on the Sunday. Not a bad weekend!
annoying
that it's the same day as The National in Bristol though.
reeeeeeeally?
Dave will be fuming about that. I feel a blog coming on :-D
hehe
"really down today guys :( "
first horrible swn clash!
argh argh argh
does this clash
with your night Keef?
*whistles*
yeah it will, but then so will 6 other nights! i was clinging on to the vague hope that no good bands whatsoever would play the friday, which was being a bit hopeful ;)
we should hopefully still get a good crowd in. we'll probably arrange the running order once some of the bigger gigs are announced!
hopeful hopey hope
my thesaurus is letting me down.
i think
'we' might try and stagger stuff a bit as well to avoid major clashes.
hurrah!
BEIRUT ONSTAGE AT 1AM PLEASE
OMG
Irish centre!
oh zach.
LEEDS!!! :D :D
what have previous shows been like
i saw him three times over the summer and to be honest each time felt that the three or four outstanding tracks where great and the other stuff was a bit 'sub par magnetic fields plays hawk and a hacksaw'....
i really like the album, and am sure hes jsut starting out- i just want to know what others have thought
how big is the roundhouse?
in relation to other london venues?
i want to gooooo
Oooh, french.
