unfortunately, i wasn’t able to make it down to austin last week for sxsw. however, all was not lost. dallas reaps some of the benefits of south-by simply due to proximity. so, when andrew bird came to town sunday night, i got a little taste of what makes the annual music showcase so special.
haley bonar opened for andrew, and brought a fresh, poppy, singer-songwriter sound.
andrew bird just might be the most talented musician i have ever seen live. it seems as though he thinks in terms of rhythm and sound textures.
and his lyrics are so technical and scientific, i sometimes feel that i’m in a trippy, high school biology class. it’s great.
i tried to shoot some video, but handheld proved to be less than ideal. regardless, here are a few short clips i strung together…

how did you find out they were married?
well, my friend informed me that they were, but now that i’m actually searching to check my “facts”, i’m finding very little convincing evidence!

i’ll have to keep checking on that… i sincerely apologize if i’m wrong!
Andrew, these are beautiful! So lovely!
I’m pretty sure they aren’t married, unless they flew to Vegas last weekend or something
thanks for the info. i have deleted that statement, so as not to cause any continued confusion.
ahh i see. i was asking because i am pretty sure he broke up with his longtime girlfriend Xan Aranda last year, so it would be a little weird if he and Haley were actually married now.
btw “Me” = “hello”
