Sorry if I ask, but do they normally have a backing band on stage? Meaning, a lead guitarist, a bassist and a drummer? Since we know that Birch is a passionate multi instrumentalist, but I don’t think he can play guitar, bass, keyboards, drums and brass at the same time, can he?

Very valid question, but yes, they usually have a backing band. Birch will often join the band with a keyboard or guitar. Stargazer and Dipper usually not, being just vocalists.

Does Birch swap his instrument within a concert? Like, let's say, Paul McCartney (bass, acoustic guitar, piano) or Billy Joel (piano, electric guitar) do often. I wonder if you have a story about any of the backing members. I assume when they sing something like, let's say, "Take It Easy" by the Eagles, I assume it's more likely that Birch plays the rhythm guitar and the other guitarist the leads. A second keyboarder could do well either, considering two keyboards would also be great to play something like "Dreamer" by Supertramp. Or maybe the lead guitarist could be a multi instrumentalist too, like Crowded House did with Neil Finn and Mark Hart. Just my two cents. I myself am a guitarist and a harmonica player.

Well, here's an example of a beginning set from one of their concerts:
1) 59th Street Bridge Song (all three) 2) I'm A Believer (all three) 3) Here, There, and Everywhere (Dipper alone. Stargazer and Birch quickly change costumes) 4) Wild Horses (Birch alone. Dipper quickly changes costumes) 5) Sloop John B (all three in new costumes)
Lather, rinse, repeat.
