This year marks a big one for Death Cab For Cutie. In 2003, the band released their fourth studio album, Transatlanticism, which proved to be a breakthrough album for them. Two decades after the fact, Death Cab has embarked on a special tour commemorating this special album.
The tour kicked off last night (September 5) at The Anthem in Washington DC, where Death Cab performed the album in its entirety (per setlist.fm). Later in the night, Death Cab’s lead vocalist Ben Gibbard performed as his side project, The Postal Service, in a special commemorative concert for the Give Up album, which was also released in 2003.
The tour for both albums will continue throughout the United States into October.
