Beirut: Band nerds.

Beirut came to the Pageant to string lights from the ceiling and play lots of horns. And, by all accounts, to deliver a truly singular performance. After four years without a new full-length, the Sante Fe band returned with this year's The Rip Tide proved its particular blend of Eastern-Bloc-flavored influence stew hasn't lost its kick. Laetitia Sadier opened, and Jason Stoff was there to bring you back some visuals. Check out some highlights below -- a full slideshow is coming shortly.
