photos by Joe McCabe Ben Gibbard @ Beacon Theater - 4/29/12 NYC showed Ben Gibbard and his band Death Cab For Cutie much love during a recent three night run at Beacon Theater. Ben did not return that love in a recent article about baseball stadiums in Rolling Stone. Ben said : PNC Park is by far the most beautiful park in all of baseball. The place feels so intimate [...]
Sometimes you don't know what you want to listen to because you're not experiencing any particular emotion... and sometimes you don't know what you want to listen to because you're feeling all of them at once.
As I sit here to write this, I really begin to ponder why I hadn't done so before, as I've been familiar with KO KO since late March. A day after I first discovered The Neighbourhood , actually, in what was some unlikely music miracle. Both bands also happen to be from from Southern California, which does nothing to help perpetuate the myth that something magical is happening down there. I guess the main reason I haven't written about brother duo Ryan and Taylor Lawhon is [...]
Live Review of a Youth Lagoon and Death Cab for Cutie show in Oakland, CA on May 8, 2012

Liz Flyntz If we can regard Beach House literally as their namesake, which is to say as a holiday getaway, a reliably stolid place to escape from the real world, then the amount of adoration they've gotten for largely sticking to their skeletal formula through four albums now is understandable.

Als ik de beek voor ons huis zie stromen met alle flora en fauna erom heen, dan is er weinig voor nodig om mijn dromen hun beloop te laten gaan. De beek wordt dan wat breder, de oevers worden ruiger...
Death Cab For Cutie are no strangers to playing with an Orchestra . Teaming up with the Magik* Magik Orchestra, Death Cab For Cutie worked through a twenty-four song set of Ben Gibbard's self-described "baroque pop." Some of the highlights included the acoustic interpretation of "405," the string flourishes during Gibbard's solo acoustic take on "I Will Follow You Into The Dark," and the transcendental "Transatlanticism." Youth Lagoon provided a hazy, keyboard-laden opening set. Check out the pictures above and the setlist below. Read More...
