Happy New Year Friends -

Just a quick note here with some updates from the Little Beirut world. We’re still working hard on new material – writing, revising, recording demos, exploring sounds, pedals and gadgets in an effort to see where the muse will be taking us for the next record. And interesting, often disparate places it seems to be going. Why don’t people do double albums anymore? Maybe that’s what we need… Anyway, things always have a way of taking longer than anticipated in this process so we can’t predict exactly when we’ll release whatever this becomes, but we can say for sure that we’ll start the recording this year.

Our next Portland show will be on February 24th at the Star Theater, opening for The My Oh My’s CD release party (Redray Frazier also playing). This will be a great show in a pretty styly new venue – we hope to see you there!

On a final note, we’ve got some fun free downloads for you. Our friend Timmy, from the awesome Ellensburg, Washington band, Tyrannosaurus Grace, has done a couple of remixes for us. He’s twisted Last Light and Cosmic Waitress off of Fear of Heaven into some pretty slammin’ dance floor grooves. Check them out here.

See you soon  -
