Hello dearest friends -
The good times just keep on rolling. New tour dates, SXSW action, and the return of Noble Beast vinyl top the agenda this week:
This week sees Andrew making his way down to Austin for SXSW. If you're down there, we would love to see your smiling face at one of these awesome-tastic Andrew Bird-related events:
| Mar 18 | Austin, TX (SXSW) | PBS' Austin City Limits taping - 8:00pm* |
| Mar 19 | Austin, TX (SXSW) | Live on air - KGSR - 3:45pm |
| Mar 19 | Austin, TX (SXSW) | Official SXSW Showcase - Stubbs - 11:00pm |
| Mar 20 | Austin, TX (SXSW) | Live on KEXP - 12:30pm** |
* We've been getting the question "how do I get tickets to the ACL taping?" a lot lately. Here's your shot: The official Austin City Limits blog will be doing a ticket giveaway at some point today. Keep checking their blog for your chance to win tickets.
** KEXP has invited listeners to attend this free live performance, which is open to the public on a first come, first served basis. There is room for 75 people in the band room. There is room for an additional 175 people in the building, who will be able to hear the performance and view it on screen. More information and directions to the KEXP broadcast can be found here. The performance will also be broadcast live on KEXP (12:30pm CT)
Andrew's recent in-store performace at Austin's Waterloo Records got a nice little mention in the New York Times Travel section feature, "In Austin, Vinyl Is Still Vital"... which brings me to my next topic:
We're proud to announce that the 2-disc, 180-gram vinyl, download-included version of "Noble Beast" is currently available from the good people over at Fat Possum. Click here to order yours now.
