Why see Death Cab For Cutie?
New tour!
Seattle indie rock collective Death Cab for Cutie's rise from small-time solo project to emotive, Grammy-nominated rock quartet is one of the genre's greatest success stories. Formed by Ben Gibbard in 1997, Death Cab for Cutie have earned a reputation for their emotionally resonant music, in large part thanks to Gibbard's poignant lyrics inspired by emotional upheaval in his personal life. Despite such events, Gibbard continues to stick to his disciplined work style without compromising on his fearless and emotionally raw lyrics.
Don't miss the indie rock pioneers when they head out on tour this year, bringing their iconic sound and live show to you!

Satisfying
I saw Death Cab at the Bowl in 2015 and loved the show. Last night, two things struck me about the performance. First, the instrumental sections were lively, creative and at times, long. DCFC is a band on a mission to redefine themselves, but would be better served revisiting some of the musicality that took them here.
Secondly, I am in love with Ben Gibbard's voice. It is, for the most part, silky smooth with great diction (you can understand the words.) At 65, I can safely say that I have heard many bands and DCFC is still in the top ten. ... Read more

Addendum to my Rave/Eagles Club review
Several reviewers have mentioned poor sound quality. I am 60 years old and learned long ago to use common foam earplugs at rock concerts. They filter out the tinny treble and fuzzy bass common among many venues. Given how incredibly loud most concerts are now, you will not miss any lyrics, nuance, or power. Plus, no irritating tinnitus, which used to last for weeks when I was young. Don't be embarrassed to use them, your hearing is too precious, and frankly, you will enjoy the concert more. ...

Energetic and Entertaining
Dec 1, 2018 at The Rave/Eagles Club Ballroom in Milwaukee.
I hadn't seen DCFC in concert before and was familiar with only some of their songs, but immersed myself in their library for the last month in anticipation of this concert. The show was well-paced, and the band was tight. Ben Gibbard is energetic and sincere in concert; a refreshing change from the often fake, forced, performance typical of many rock band frontmen. The 6 songs from the new album were received warmly, if not too enthusiastically. The classic stuff caused much of the crowd to sing along, & by the end of the show Ben & audience were relating to each other quite emotionally & intimately. ONLY reason I can't give the concert 5 stars is because I thought they should have played longer. I understand leaving 'em wanting more, but with DCFC's extensive catalog, they could have played 2 or 3 more songs and still left a dozen classics on the cutting room floor. I think Ben & Co. had more left in the tank. I know I did! ... Read more
