Beirut at Music Hall of Williamsburg

Beirut played two shows at BAM this weekend, but on Wednesday night they played at the more intimate Music Hall of Williamsburg. Although the usually very full band was short a few people (there were only 5 people on stage), Zach Condon and Co. still managed to put on a great show. They played a great variety of old and new, with songs from every album, as well as a few covers from the likes of Ary Baroso/Ed Russel and Serge Gainsbourg. They played two lengthy encores but still the crowd (and me!) couldn’t seem to get enough. I can’t wait for the new double EP, March of the Zapotec, recorded in Mexico, which comes out on February 17.
