Video: Death Cab for Cutie “You Are a Tourist”

The ‘big’ story around this video was that it was filmed in one take and streamed live on the web as it happened. OKGo probably have a few more interesting one take videos than this, to be honest.

Youth Group @ The Basement (Wed. 10/7)

pat-youthgroupSomebody should take bassist Patrick Matthews from Youth Group to Dirty Frank’s before Wednesday night’s show at The Basement! The Australian band has made a few trips to Columbus since their inception in 2004 and their gentle brand of indie-pop (falling somewhere between Death Cab for Cutie and Teenage Fanclub) is always welcomed.

The band’s latest (their 3rd U.S. release since 2004), The Night is Ours, is filled with tales of love and heartbreak and if the kids were still making mix CDs to express interest in somebody of the opposite sex, Youth Group would be the band on the soundtrack that the recipient would say, “They sound so familiar and yet I can’t figure out who it is”. I have no idea what size audience Youth Group draws in Columbus but when I saw them in L.A. in 2005, the Spaceland was packed with hipsters wanting to discover their new favorite band before the rest of the world.

Youth Group, Other Girls, and Six Gallery perform at The Basement on Wednesday, October 7. Tickets are $12 at the door and doors open at 7pm.

Death Cab for Cutie in Columbus Poster by Clinton Reno

Last night’s Death Cab for Cutie show was a lot of fun, even as the outdoor show got colder and colder as it went on. The band seemed more energetic than I’ve ever seen them, and they busted out some old songs that made a lot of people happy.

Speaking of happy, Clinton Reno’s new Death Cab for Cutie poster from the show is pretty sweet. Lots of subtle references to Death Cab songs all over the place. Click here to purchase.

New Music from Chris Walla

You probably know Chris Walla as the guitarist of Death Cab for Cutie. He’s also produced albums for a ton of my favorite bands including The Decemberists, Nada Surf, and The Long Winters.

He’ll be releasing his first solo album in January 2008 on Barsuk Records. Check out a song from that release:
