Andrew Bird Announces "Gezelligheid Concerts"

bird_09.jpgGezelligheid means "intensely cozy" in Dutch and Andrew Bird will be taking that to heart with several concerts in Chicago and Minneapolis this winter. The performances will be "solo, mostly instrumental shows in acoustically lovely churches, and should be wonderfully uplifting and comforting concerts as we head into the cold and dark winter." No doubt a perfect way to see and hear the violin virtuoso. The Chicago shows will take place December 15, 16 &17 at Fourth Presbyterian Church. Tickets officially go on sale November 7th, but pre-sale for the AB Fan Community starts today.

Also, catch Bird's debut on Austin City Limits this Saturday with current tour-mate St. Vincent.

By Kara Luger

She references Bob Mould's Beaster, with its wall of sound and intense, thought-obliterating guitar work. She speaks of The Who and all the crazy rock bands she was exposed to in the '80s. "The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
