indanomati Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 ^Oh, I know what you are talking about. I've listened to every song there exists by them, from Gulag Orkestar up till TFCC (including EPs and b-sides) and there is not a single one I don't like, even on 'The Joys of Losing Weight' album. I could listen to their songs over and over and over and never get tired of them. Hehe btw, I didn't know you were such a fan! Nice! :D Now it's time for the pictures: (I have such a crush on Zach!! :shy:) (Best yawn ever! :blush: hehe) And here's my favourtie: :lol: I'll post some more tomorrow or later tonight.

Starlight Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah I'm a fan. Not for a long time, though. But I feel like I've known them forever, hehe. And thanks so much for the Zach pics! :wideeyed: :nice: He is a GENIUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladybug Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Have you guys heard they've cancelled all the European shows? It was announced at the beginning of April. Man, this sucks...I was really looking forward to the Munich gig. :/ Here's a letter from Zach that was posted in their homepage's news section: Hello, It's with great regret that I have to tell all of you that Beirut is canceling their summer European shows. My reasons for doing this are many, some of which I don't care to discuss, but I still feel I need to provide something of an explanation. The past two years have been a mindblowing experience. From the first indications that people were putting songs from Gulag… up on their ‘blogs to our incredible tour of Australia and New Zealand that we just completed, everything that has happened has been beyond anything I'd ever hoped could happen with the music I wrote and recorded in my bedroom. Once things started happening, I decided I wanted to do everything as big as possible. So, I set about putting together a large band, and giving that band a huge sound, and making the most spectacular records we possibly could. I know this can sound like an artist shithead kind of comment, but going through all that really does have its low points along with the highs. The responsibilities of gathering people around your vision, working with great people like those who work directly for the band and those at the label, wanting to ensure that every show is as good as humanly possible so that every single person in the audience sees that we put in a real effort, all of that leads to a lot of issues in terms of doing right by people who have done you right. It's come time to change some things, reinvent some others, and come back at some point with a fresh perspective and batch of songs. Please accept my apologies. I promise we'll be back, in some form.

Guest Grace Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 yeah, i read that entry a while ago. a shame they weren't going to play a show in frankfurt, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indanomati Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 BUMP! :dance: 1. New song: "Benito Juarez". Still has no official release or anything of the sort, well, not from what I heard of. But here's a video of them performing it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpBEiIOahag And it's fantastic! More Gulag Orkestarish, imo. :nice: 2. A new Final Fantasy song called "The Butcher" feat. none other than Beirut! Yay! A link to where you can download it from. I'm downloading it as I speak.

A link to where you can download it from. I'm downloading it as I speak. The Butcher is a gorgeous song! I could always feel that Owen Pallett-Beirut connection ever since Cliquot. I hope Zach does some guest vocals on the upcoming Final Fantasy LP though! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartswarm Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Beirut reminds me a bit of DeVotchKa (or is it the other way around?) Coincidentally, DeVotchKa also has a song entitled "La Llorona". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartswarm Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm listening to March of the Zapotec/Holland right now. My first impression: sounds closer to Gulag Orkestar (at least the Beirut part...I'm yet to listen to the Realpeople songs)! I'm lovin' it so far.
