Filled with layers of violin, glockenspiel, vocal harmonies, guitar, piano & some absolutely incredible whistling, Andrew Bird’s most recent album, Armchair Apocrypha, will at last be presented to Australia in all it’s glory this coming January when Mr Bird brings his band (Martin Dosh & Jeremy Ylvisaker) our way. For anyone who saw his truly astounding sold out solo shows or one of his Joanna Newsom supports in January 2007 be ready for a whole new level of performance. For those of you that missed out don’t make the same mistake again as Andrew Bird performs his masterful, melancholic pop gems on the dates below, including the Sydney Festival.Support in Brisbane, Melbourne & Perth will come from Andrew’s band mate & Anticon recording artist Dosh, performing his untouchable one man show, swiveling on his drum stool between a kit, Rhodes piano, a few pots and pans, and a simple looping pedal with a 12-second recording limit. Dosh’s three albums to date have seen him become one of the vanguard artists of the expiremental electronic scene, & his live show will inevitably round out a wonderful night of music.
