Decemberists sailing to UK

Indie-pop heroes The Decemberists are heading to the UK in February in support of the new prog-tastic album, The Crane Wife.

The band's new long-player is yet to be released in the UK, but is available on import via Capitol.

If you want to hear songs about being everything from a chimney sweep to an engine driver, be sure to dress up like a civil war soldier and bring your drum and whistle to the following dates...

February
2 Sheffield Leadmill
3 Dublin Village
4 Glasgow ABC
5 Manchester Academy 2
7 Nottingham Trent University
8 London Shepherd's Bush Empire
9 Southampton University

woo!

Nottingham for me

last year

I went to see the decemberists instead of of Montreal, biggest mistake Ive ever made. Not that the decemberists weren't amazing.

that was kind of a pointless post

and should have read *abandon reply* as should this

..

I saw Decemberists at ATP and enjoyed the whole "sit down" thing, until I was informed that they did it every gig. The I felt used.

See? This is a pointless post!

yeah I was there

and saw it coming so refused to sit down, I was fairly near the front and felt conspicious so bowed to pressure and knelt. Its a gimmick they stole from when the unicorns supported them apparently.

Brilliant

why is everyone missing out Bristol all of a sudden?

.

I sat down at ATP and it nearly killed me. 3 days of standing up and some buggers tell you to sit down then stand up straight away - my poor knees and back.

Great show though.
Bit of a pisser they're not coming to Birmingham, if only if it were a major city then maybe some bands would consider playing there. Oh well, could always travel to Nottingham with their 10pm return trains. Sigh

damnit

I hear that. Living in Leicester with minimal late night trains is a real shocker.

roar

:D

i have my ticket

i don't care if they do the sit down thing wherever they go, i saw them at koko and it was very fun indeed. i'll dress as a sailor.

To this day

I regret not going to that gig because I saw The Decemberists the night before supporting Cake. My one chance to see The Unicorns live and I blew it. If only I knew about them before they broke up.
