Beirut/Fallon recap

Good morning/afternoon everyone!!

If you missed out on last night’s performance of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, then you should kick yourself because the band performed “Santa Fe” and they were spot on, if not mind-blowing!

Luckily for you all, the Audio Perv has graciously made a video and it can be seen here

Cheers!

P.S. If you also missed out on their performance of “East Harlem” on Letterman last week, you can view it by clicking here

NEW SHOWS + ONE CANCELLATION

As a pessimist in life, I begin with the bad news first. For you Taiwanese fans, Beirut has been unfortunately forced to cancel their show.

They had this to say on the cancellation:

We’re sorry to say that due to scheduling difficulties, we are unable to play the Taiwan show that was previously announced. We plan on making it there in the hopefully near future!
