Tifah's new name :: more hipster Birds :: Annuals / Manchester Orchestra

Tifah, now known as Autumn Film played at the Lion's Lair last night in a low dough show. But C+S, who got to the Lair early, insist that opener Paper Bird stole their show with their Americana act with tight three-part harmonies (think sweet adelines, barbershop almost) and rootsy folk. Have a listen but it's worth checking out live. They've got shows with The Wheel (12/28 at the Bluebird and 12/15 with Ian Cooke and Bela Karoli @ the Bluebird) coming up, among others.

Tomorrow, 11/19, it's Annuals and Manchester Orchestra at the Hi-Dive. The music starts early, but there will be two openers: Kevin Deane and the New Frontiers. This is your chance to pick up the split 7" in which Annuals and Manchester Orchestra each cover one of the other's tunes. Listen before you buy >>>>>>
Listen to Annuals covering "Where Have You Been."
Listen to Manchester Orchestra's (marvelous!!) version of "Brother."
(Annuals' own "Brother" is on their MySpace page, and MO's version of "Where Have You Been" is on their MySpace page.)
