City Planner: Weekend Edition (10/14-15)

Saturday: Beirut @ Triple Rock

Here's one that slipped through the A-List cracks, so I wanted to be sure and pimp it here. Beirut is a 10-piece orkestar from Albuquerque, fronted by Zach Condon, a precocious 19-year-old dude with a milky Stephen Merritt voice and a serious Balkan brass fixation. Fans of Devotcha, Neutral Milk Hotel, the Magnetic Fields, et al should really try to make it down to the Triple Rock for this one. Here's some video of them playing last week in Cleveland:

With A Hawk and a Hacksaw; Animal Hospital. 21+. $10/$12. 10 pm
