Beirut

Band chief Zach Condon, a multitasker who performs vocals, trumpet and ukulele, has become a bona fide indie-rock star by mining sounds from foreign lands, giving color to his Morrissey-like vocals. Originally a one-man band, Beirut recently expanded to include members Nick Petree, Paul Collins, Ben Lanz, and Kyle Resnick. Check out their catchy, world-traveled inspired sound at the Hollywood Polladium on October 7-8.
