After a couple of new tracks from the upcoming Ghost on Ghost, Sam Beam opened up the rest of the set to audience requests, leading to some brilliant deep cuts (“Lion’s Mane”, “Jesus the Mexican Boy”), a dynamic performance of “The Trapeze Swinger” as the third song of the set and a rare performance of The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights”.</p>http://operationeveryband.com/post/45570112499http://operationeveryband.com/post/45570112499Sun, 17 Mar 2013 02:50:19 -0500sxsw2013iron and winepostal service<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5c5561c86dd27a07210cebc4f72f3d56/tumblr_mjsikbi0wN1qelsklo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Seth Sentry just killed it at Maggie Mae’s.
