Dark Matter - Andrew Bird
9.21.09 - Chicago Art Institute, Chicago, ILLast night, WXRT hosted an evening at the Modern Wing of the Chicago Art Institute. In addition to many of the great artists on display (Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Ray Lichtenstein amongst others), we were treated to a solo performance from Chicago’s Andrew Bird.
In this video, Bird shares an anecdote from his childhood visiting the Art Institute with his mom (and touching a Rembrandt!), and then plays Dark Matter from Armchair Apocrypha. Throughout the semi-private event, no more than 200 of us were treated to his multi-talented act. Bird brought played violin, electric guitar, and the xylophone, while looping claps and whistles and his various instruments over each other. Truly one of the most talented musicians out there today, and clearly holding a deep appreciation of the arts. An evening in Chicago I won’t soon forget!

What is The Butter Room?
The Butter Room was built to spread and discuss live music. The contributors of this site all volunteer their time to provide the content. We do this as a labor of love. Our name, The Butter Room, references an small, low-lit room in a Virginia Tech Fraternity with nothing but a few benches and tables. You go there to get away from all distractions and have a conversation, which is what we want to foster here: a place where you can get away from all the distractions of life to enjoy and discuss live music.
