AND GUESS WHO'S GOING THERE?!?! YES! ME! YAY!!!
I hope you guys know Beirut, or at least the frontman: Zach Condon. For those who don't... I have found you a link to the Beirut biography at Last.fm. I would like to think that Beirut is sort of this one-of-a-kind band. The first album, Gulag Orkestar, sounds like an entire balkan orchestra playing modern songs as mournful ballads and upbeat marches but actually was the album was performed and recorded almost entirely by Zach Condon alone.
Similar artists to Beirut are Fleet Foxes, Andrew Bird and Sufjan Stevens. (3 other bloody amazing artists/bands)
I thought it'd be nice to share some songs with you. Please enjoy! (I must warn you though, there is a serious amount of trumpets, accordions, mandolins, ukelele's, cello's and tambourine's involved!)

This band sounds pretty interesting, I've never heard of them before. I'm glad you're getting to see them!
