Led by Ben Gibbard (vocals/guitar), Death Cab for Cutie began as Gibbard's solo project, undertaken whilst studying at university in Washington, offering a break from his involvement in the power pop band Pinwheel. Gibbard recorded an album's worth of material in 1997, which eventually found release as a cassette, "You Can Play These Songs With Chords." The release found local popularity, with Gibbard deciding to expand the lineup into a full band. Death Cab for Cutie was then born, before signing to Seattle-based label, Barsuk Recrds, the following year.
Their debut album, "Something About Airplanes," was released in 1998, after which a short break ensued, with Gibbard becoming involved with the Postal Service. In 2000, new material arrived, in "We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes," with their third, "The Photo Album" appearing a year later, building a sizable following in the process. Their emotional yet hook-laden indie rock continued to find success, with 2003's "Transatlanticism" gaining critical praise and mainstream airplay on radio and television. Atlantic Records then snapped up the band, with Death Cab for Cutie signing a major label deal in 2004.
"Plans" became their major label debut, debuting at number four on the Billboard charts. The album eventually became certified Platinum, gaining three hit singles and a Grammy nomination by the end of the year. Continuing to tour and release well-received albums, Death Cab for Cutie became one of the most popular indie bands of the decade. After a short break, the band returned in 2011 with renewed focus, finding a number three album in "Codes and Keys." In 2012, Gibbard released his first solo album, "Former Lives," before his band began work on their eighth album, "Kintsugi," for a release of March 2015.

Death Cab for Cutie brings back memories of simpler times. Ben Gibbard is a musical mastermind and one of those rare talents whose live performance is just as (if not more) ethereal as his recordings. It’s the kind of music that makes you come alive, takes you to that happy place and pushes the boundaries of bliss. You never know what to expect from a live performance and I can happily say that Death Cab for Cutie do not disappoint! If you ever have the opportunity to check them out, don’t miss it! I had the chance to see them perform at the world renowned Fox Theater in Oakland. The lights, ambiance and of course sound were on point. If you didn’t already know, Ben Gibbard is also the vocalist of The Postal Service which is arguably even more incredible. I went to see their first live performance in years at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, NV and I have just two words - mind blown. Check out Death Cab and Postal Service on Spotify and if the music doesn’t instantly take you away to dream world, please consult a doctor immediately. Can’t say enough, check these guys (and girls in the case of Postal Service) out if you ever have the chance!

US indie/rock outfit Death Cab for Cutie have a discography that is now seven albums strong and have amassed a fan base of equal solidity since their formation way back in 1997. The band has no issues packing out auditoriums and venues on both sides of the Atlantic with their powerful live show.
From the opening proud riffs of 'I Could Possess Your Heart', the loyal fans sing back the chorus in time with the band as they tear through a variety of picks from over the years. Premiering new material in the form of 'Black Sun', the audience is receptive to this as the band tease the new eighth album.
The biggest cheer of the night perhaps goes to 'You're A Tourist', an indie anthem that sounds fresh within the set. Whilst the finale combination of 'Soul Meets Body' and 'The Sound Of Settling' make for aggressive fist pumping and even moderate moshing before the band disappears to cheers for encore.
They return much to the crowd's delight and play UK hit single 'I Follow You Into The Dark' and the title track of 2004's 'Transatlanticism' which is considered their most critically acclaimed album.

Honestly, last night was underwhelming. I really love their music, and have seen them before. But last night there was no energy. Which is crazy for playing at red rocks, the whole place should be full of energy.
They started really slow with no introduction, the first two songs on the new album. Ben's voice was off, for the new songs especially.
It seemed like they were more of a jam band than anything. They played 'i will possess your heart', which is great, abiet long. Then they played one song a little later that was easily 15 minutes long, which lost all, if any left, momentum from the crowd.
The setlist was okay, everything you really wanted to hear was in the encore, which I think should have been spaced out a little more. I left before it started and just heard it in the distance because I was about to fall asleep from lack of presence.
I probably won't see them again, but will still listen to their music.

Death Cab always brings the crowd to it's knees. Their sound has progressed in a more poppy way over the years, but it's the old nostalgic songs that they lean on in every show to connect with the audience and then ultimately, tear them open. On top of that, they sound a lot bigger and louder than you would expect from their albums.
There is always some sort of unique experience, too. Whether it's jamming out at the end of a random song for 15 minutes, bringing extra musicians or instruments on stage, or even by touring with a full experimental orchestra, DCFC shows are always memorable and powerful. Lastly, lead singer Ben Gibbard can really pluck at your heartstrings with a good acoustic set. If you want to feel something when you go to a show, DCFC won't let you down.

Absolutely smashing. What a great show - a complete retrospective of Death Cab For Cutie. Great songs, great energy, great performance - it was literally non-stop, and the audience loved it. What a shame we couldn’t all stand up and dance - the Royal Festival Hall doesn’t lend itself to that kind of carry-on easily, but at least no one was talking and frankly we were all mesmerised. From the opening of ‘I Will Follow You Into the Dark’ all the way through; I don’t think time has passed so quickly and before you knew it we were all on our feet (deservedly so!) clapping along to the end. I love this band, I think they’re brilliant, and they really gave us a show to remember.

This show was fantastic. GA sold out and HRL was definitely full of Death Cab fans, singing along with every number. The band played a great balance of songs from their new album and their back catalog, including most of their radio hits. It was also a beautiful show--the lighting design was perfect for their style of music and avoided bright spotlights in favor of color LED washes and moving lights, along with some gorgeous effects on the screen behind them. Also, HRL is probably the best venue of its size in town for sound, and this concert was no exception--even the loudest moments were crisp and clear. Overall, just a wonderful experience seeing a band I've loved for years.

It was an amazing performance at such an amazing venue! Death Cab bursted through an entire catalog of music unscathed by the cheering fans! They even told us to stand up because everyone were content sitting down watching them that they had to get us up and moving. There show went through a catalog of the different era's of the band! There moments are always at a climax, for such soft subtle material they really know how to make jam out! I Will Possess Your Heart was there closer of the set before the encore, first time i seen the full version before, and they jammed.....they jammed really well together with the additions that they have added
