Beirut - Live at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (2009)

Video

this is sort of a beirut/final fantasy/grizzly bear gangbang. although i dont think owen is there, ed droste is singing lead on cliquot. more beirut take-away shows here (and the dvd for purchase!)

Video

i wish i had known this was coming up. one of final fantasy’s encore songs was a cover of beirut’s cliquot. i only got the last bit, but it’s a bit funny as owen forgets the words.
