BEIRUT (London Troxy, 09/05/25)

It's good to have them back! Zach Condon swore off touring several years ago - no big surprise, his discomfort on stage was apparent even when I first saw them in 2006 - but tonight he looks refreshed, even happy bringing his Balkan-accented balladry to Limehouse, complete with his loyal, ever-cheerful drimmer Nick Petree, a generous setlist and some live Swedish acrobatics (not a euphemism).
