Ben Gibbard and Death Cab For Cutie Put On a Celebratory Set Live at the Hollywood Bowl
It’s more like an invisible tick that siphons your energy and replaces it with uncanny, throbbing pain, a body-wide ache you can’t muster the strength to trace.
The leader of the world's biggest cult band (Death Cab for Cutie) has glided on stage to mighty applause from his avid devotees inside what must be one of the cutesiest churches in all of London; there are candlelights and everything.
Two weeks away from Death Cab For Cutie's Chicago Theatre dates, Gibbard flew to Chicago specifically for the short sessions, a fact that WXRT's Marty Lennartz remained especially appreciative of throughout.
When I initially heard about Ben Gibbard’s tour, I noticed a trend in his choice of venues — historic ballrooms, theaters, and even synagogues — all reflecting the old-soul musical style of one of America’s most beloved singer/songwriters.
