Decemberists Thread

[Multibeast12]

I've been looking at this for a while now and decided i have to do this.


That Russian group was pretty solid. Not Particularly my favorite part in Russian History but it's better then say..........Brechnev Era Soviet Union.

Colin Meloy played at the Newport Folk Festival a few weeks ago and played a few new songs, they're pretty good. During the set Black Prarie (the bluegrass band that is the Decemberists minus Meloy) came out and joined him for a few songs. NPR has the set streaming.

The Decemberists haven't played a headlining concert since August 2011, but they're shaking off the rust in support of a great cause: On Friday, May 30th, the eclectic folk-rock band will present "V Is For Victory," a benefit concert raising funds for an Oregon school for autistic students.

The band will perform the entirety of their debut LP, 2002's Castaways and Cutouts, along with other "sentimental favorites." The show will be held at the Crystall Ballroom in Portland, kicking off at 8 p.m. local time; indie-rocker Sallie Ford will open.

I would like to see that.

I would like to see that.

Me too.  Hopefully a tape will make the rounds.

The Crystal will probably be jam packed for that (if people still like the Decemberists).  My father-in-law built this insane guitar rack/display thing for Colin Meloy at his house that fills a whole wall and fits like 25 guitars and is basically a big giant enclosed showcase that is climate controlled and super pimp.  I need to have him build me one once I hit it big!  Colin Meloy has a son that is special needs so I am guessing they are involved in the school that the benefit is for....

I'm sure that enough people care about the band or the cause to fill that gig.

I wasn't aware of Colin's son but they've got a decent track record of doing good things for people & orgs. so, either way I'm not surprised by this. It is certainly about thine the band got back onstage.

I'd just love to see them perform Castaways & Cutouts. What a great album.

Show is sold out...I checked for fun, not that I would go.  And I probably get in through burmesepython if I wanted to.  Website also says they are doing a new album.  My experience with the Decemberists (beyond videos and things) is limited to the only album I have which is the Crane Wife.  I will check out C&C on your reco....

Also check out The King Is Dead and make sure you get it's companion EP, Long Live The King. It has the Rowjimmy cover on it.
