Andrew Bird, what can I say. He’s a real gem. It’s no surprise he was classically trained from the age of 4. But violin aside, he’s a hell of a whistler too. I originally thought it was recorded and enhanced whistling, but after paying closer attention, I realized it was his own melodic production. How he manages to juggle multiple instruments to produce the sound he does is beyond me. He even makes playing the xylophone look like a professional art obtainable only through personal lessons with Debussy. Andrew Bird’s quirky stage presence definitely makes him the more loveable. Whether he’s collaborating with a band or going solo, I have to say, Andrew Bird makes my heart flutter.
The Granada Theater was a choice locale. The stage design personified Andrew Bird’s essence. The sound perfectly composed. And as crowded as it was, I still felt as though Andrew Bird was seranading to me personally. That could also be my own self-involvement though. Regardless. Good job, Dallas!
I heart Granada theater. Best venue in town. Ratatat and Umphrey’s Mcgee’s show there really left me stunned.
Saw the bird at ACL a couple years ago. He’s pretty legit. The whistling alone validates his name.
I love Andrew Bird! So jealous you got to see him. If I could, I would quit school and tour with him and Beruit all year.
I was there. Some aZn chick and puffy haired dude kept dancing in front of me. It was awkward/awesome. Granada kicks ass.
maybe you should’ve joined in on the fun. i would’ve. bird is badass live.
there sure are a lot of white people there…
sing kee! holla!
Ismitosis. Best song from Andrew ever. Not a huge fan of his new albums though…
@ Markus. I was there. It was pretty damn hot outside. Gotta love barton springs though. Also, Austin women.
Citymistress you were there? Please let me know next time you go to a show, I’d like to meet up.
I’ve only really listened to one of his songs. To hear how phenomenal he is live makes me want to listen to his other songs. If he truly plays like Debussy’s apprentice, then next time he’s in town, I’ll be sure to be there. Front row!
