After Beirut livened up Toronto last Tuesday night they moved on down the road to Chicago where they played a morning set for Seattle's KEXP radio at Engine Studios. I was at that Toronto show and now, days later, I recall the strange looking spectacle of what looks like an almost bare stage compared to most bands before they trooped out en masse and began to serenade the crowd. I can't recall the last time I saw a band playing all acoustic instruments... it was oddly thrilling, it was like you were seeing something special, and it was.
Here's the six song set the band played for KEXP along with the radio intro and outro and some talking. Enjoy!
