News Direct From Andrew Bird's World

Andrew Bird is amazing and I love everything I've ever heard that he's released and hope to see him live again one day. Check him out if you haven't - excellent stuff. He's on a musical island with other geniuses whose names I can't recall right now. If Zappa were alive I'm sure he would have a cabana there. Here are a selection of songs by Andrew Bird. What songs you ask? Download 'em and see and then buy his music...

Nov 19 - Berlin, Germany - Roter Salon - solo show
Nov 20 - London, England- St. Giles Church - solo show


Tickets for these two intimate, preview-new-material type shows are now on sale. Act fast to make sure you get a ticket!

I am also very excited to report that Andrew's new album, Noble Beast, is finished! This beast is not to be confused with the beast that appeared on the cover of Andrew's 2005 release, The Mysterious Production of Eggs. Check the news section of our site for a track list and check out the Pitchfork stream of the opening song, "Oh No." We are putting the finishing touches on a special edition of the album - more details on that soon but it will include exclusive deluxe artwork by Diana Sudyka and it is beautiful if I do say so myself…. Also, a heads up that the November newsletter will contain on-sale info for Andrew's full band, new record, go everywhere possible 2009 tour dates – the dates will be announced here first, so stay tuned !

From new album info to old album info… after quite some time sitting by its lonely self on our office shelves, our one remaining copy of Music of Hair (Andrew's first ever release) is lonely no more. The album has been repressed and is available again in our online shop and will hit the road with the rest of the albums and shirts next year. And speaking of shirts, we are awaiting reproduction of the oft-requested "Wind-Up Bird" and "Spinny Horn" designs. Those will also be available again soon.

Finally, Andrew was immensely honored to interview global icon of classical music and beyond, Yo-Yo Ma, for MTV-IGGY last month. The interview has yet to be released but we do have documentation of Andrew and Yo-Yo playing together Watch it right here and then, enjoy your day.
