Biography
Portland, United States (2000 – present)
Meloy began his song writing days after learning to play the guitar in the seventh grade. He began recording in the eighth grade as a member of the musical collaboration, The B-Sides, recording, (to cassette tape), “The Mellow Bluesmen Die: A Spiritual Progression.” He followed that with the band Figurehead, recording “Jesus’ Mom.” In his high school days Meloy was also part of Helena, Montana’s Happy Cactus, releasing one album, “Cricket.” Meloy also headed the now defunct, Tarkio, during his college days in Missoula, Montana. His career really began with the forming of The Decemberists in Portland, Oregon, in 2000.

Sounds like Boards of Canada for children and metalheads.

I share a birthday with this man and his wife. I feel connected in a way.

Casey is an idiot... Colin is the most down to earth front man in indie rock. He never takes himself too seriously and treats his fans with respect, something that can't be said for a sickeningly large population of indie rockers. He's an excellent guy.

Colin Meloy is a pretentious loser. He disgusts me, and I unfortunately only discovered my dislike for him when I saw him thrust his arrogant personality into my face while performing live. I love the Decemberists' music; there is no denying it's wonderul art, but he is an asshole and blatant hipster. Funny how he thinks he's so enlightened.

His Twitter actually isn't that pretentious; I think the pretentiousness is just part of the Decemberists' shtick. Also, I got into Shirley Collins because of him, so he gets a pass from me.

I'll never cease to be amazed by Colin's songwriting. He and his wife - artist Carson Ellis, who does the album art - are such a talented couple it's ridiculous.
