Why see Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service?
CO-headlining tour
In news that will find Millenials harking back to the nostalgic times of teen angst, indie behemoths Death Cab For Cutie AND The Postal Service are heading out on a joint tour spring 2024. Celebrating 20 years of each band's 2003 seminal records (Death Cab's Transadlanticism and TPS's Give Up), this co-headlining tour will see the frontman of both groups, Ben Gibbard pull double a shift as he leads performances of the two albums, from start to finish!
20 Years of Indie Perfection
Death Cab For Cutie's fourth studio album, it was the long-distance romance-themed Transatlantiscism that flipped them into the mainstream, riding the cultural indie wave that came to dominate the alternative scene at the time. With appearances on The O.C and glowing reviews across the board, it cemented Death Cab's place at the top of the indie tree. Alongside The Postal Service's record of electro-infused raw lyricism, Give Up, Gibbard remarked " I know for a fact I will never have a year again like 2003...The Postal Service record came out; Transatlanticism came out. These two records will be on my tombstone, and I'm totally fine with that. I've never had a more creatively inspired year."

Transatlantic fantastic in the District
From start to finish the show did not disappoint. The crowd was one with Ben and the bands as we drifted and time travelled with pure succinct sounds and mesmerizing energy. Everything was perfect and we didn’t come down, we stayed. Thank you for the show of a lifetime. ... Read more

Pretty Damn Good
This show brought my best friend and I together and sent us back to 2004, when the albums came out and we were both 18 years of age. We bonded over these albums and they were the soundtrack to our summer that year. It was crazy to hear them live 20 years later. The sound quality was very good, and balanced and the light show was great (especially during Postal Service).
The energy was pretty good the entire show, but jumped up a couple of notches during the second half with Postal Service, mainly because of the digital beats provided bass throughout.
Those who were disappointed they didn't play other tunes outside the albums must not have read the description for the show. The New Order cover at the end was a nice touch. ... Read more
