BEIRUT @ Brooklyn Masonic Temple – Thus. 9/20

Zach Condon’s success has gone mostly unnoticed by the general public, but fans of underground music might recognize this native New Mexican by his widely inspired orchestra-style tunes. Somewhat of an overnight story, Beirut, as Condon is professionally known, really takes from all over the world by combining african drumbeats, middle eastern horns and rhythms and good ol’ indie rock lyrics and vocals. See his live show this week in his second home: Brooklyn, but try to get there early just in case because it should be a good show. Plus he’s playing in a Masonic Temple, which is pretty badass.
