It often amazes me why Death Cab For Cutie are not more famous over here. Over t’other side of pond, they are pretty huge – or are the fans just louder? Appearances on the likes of the OC will no doubt ease their accessibility… what would it take for Radio 1 to start playing them – being as they are so much better than all these “best newly discovered band by radio 1” type bands… would you want Radio 1 to discover them? Would you want the sheer talent drowned by the hype-wave?
Anyway, for all you real fans, dcfc are gigging right here in the lovely Glasgow Garage. Book your tickets online… Glasgow seems to be half decent for gigs just now… the decemberists, clap your hands say yeah, black mountain, the new pornographers … all recently appearing on a stage nearby. Nice.
good news… or bad!? last nite good ol’ Radio 1 played Death Cab for Cutie! followed by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! and another band i’d never heard of but had nothing on the other 2! it was a proud moment (for me anyway, i actually recognised dcfc- this education is finally paying off!) 🙂
