Andrew Bird, Fourth Presbyterian Church; December 21, 2012

By Sarah on December 24, 2012

Well, the final night of this year’s round of Gezellegheid concerts is upon us.  This show happened to fall upon the day of that alleged end of the world business, which was acknowledged by Bird in his typical sly way at the end of the set, when he treated the audience to a more stripped […]

Andrew Bird, Fourth Presbyterian Church; December 20, 2012

By Sarah on December 22, 2012

For the second day of what I have tentatively dubbed Birdmas — stop judging me, I’m tired — we had a setlist that was mostly similar to the first night’s, with only a few deviations, including an acoustic, folk-tinged rendition of “MX Missiles” which had both Mel, our sometimes-blogger and full-time fellow Bird fan, and […]

Andrew Bird, Fourth Presbyterian Church; December 19, 2012

By Sarah on December 20, 2012

Things you learn at a Gezellegheid show: Andrew Bird’s broken his nose five, maybe now six times.  Trivia, for those of you who like those things.  There’s a context for this, but you almost had to be there, and I’ve also sworn not to make any bird puns over the topic. Potential medical complications aside, […]

Andrew Bird, State Theatre, Minneapolis; December 17, 2012

By Sarah on December 18, 2012

Minneapolis isn’t Andrew Bird’s hometown, but it might as well be.  He was welcomed to the stage on Monday night like he was a native son. Of course, it helps that he has long-standing ties to the music community here: Martin Dosh has drummed/percussed/gadgeted for Bird since 2004 or so, with Jeremy Ylvisaker joining later […]

CHIRP Playlist: June 29, 2012

It was hot in the studio (as it will be all summer) and I was starting to get fussy, but I pushed through and delivered a show for you. If you find that you miss me, I’ll be doing a bonus show on July 4th, from 6 to 8 pm. As always, you can hear […]
