Death Cab for Cutie

Yeah, nobody really knew who Ra Ra Riot was either (or at least they didn't show it). Kind of funny that The New Pornographers were drinking Corona at a brewery.

Sad and shocked nobody knew who The New Pornographers were... also sad that Neko wasn't there to make them sound 10x's better. I have no complaints about Death Cab. Yeah, they didn't play all of my favorite's but they have so many good songs that the perfect set would probably have taken 3 hours. I loved the outside venue and having a concert at a brewery is bad either.

well... i usually just don't say anything if i don't have anything positive to say, but, WOW - the show was overall so.... eh... uninspired and uninspiring. although it was lovely to be outside. :) this listing that i read after the show (which was written before the show lol) pretty much sums it up... Death Cab for Cutie, The New Pornographers, Ra Ra Riot [R.E.M. CLONES FOR THE TWITTER SET] If Wilco were on this bill and if I didn't know any better, I'd assume this was a "Save Paste Magazine" benefit show or something. In case you're not in the know, Death Cab make increasingly watered-down major label mope pop, while the New Pornographers make increasingly forgettable "minor"-label funny-ha-ho indie rock. Is putting it that way—that offhandedly mean—unfair? Much earlier in this decade, sure. But now it's just a total understatement. RAY CUMMINGS. -Willamette Week

Really fun show, though the New Pornographers weren't that good.
