::: Andrew Bird
::: Ogden Theater
::: 02.26.09
The tall glass of water known as Andrew Bird played to a sold out crowd last night at the always inviting Ogden Theater. A well-coiffed Bird and his charming anecdotes amused the crowd creating samples and beautiful music on stage and looping everything all at once. If I was as good as he is on the gee-tar or the violin, I would sample myself too. The night was heavy on the new material off of his newest masterpiece, Noble Beast. The evening’s unsung hero came in the form of band member Martin Dosh. Dosh has quietly been pumping out music and Lord only knows if he’s Bird’s muse, but some of the experimental and adventurous avenues being explored were being experienced on stage right.

Company of Thieves
Here’s the Rushmore inspired video from Company of Thieves for their single, Oscar Wilde. The Chicago band is touring in support of their infectious Ordinary Riches album. I’m sure I’m not the only one to have made this comparison, but lead vocalist,Genevieve Schatz, sounds a lot like the vocalist from Land of Talk.

TWO FINGERS
Not as in peace, but the super group Two Fingers (Amon Tobin, Double Click and Sway). The element that Amon Tobin has to contribute is what makes this release such a wild card. The guys will be doing a series of bootleg remixes up until the release of their album S/T album, Two Fingers (via Big Dada Records).
