WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE....
THE DECEMBERISTS OPENING UP THE SXSW show in Austin March 18th!
The 4 man 1 woman band from Portland is kicking off their '09 tour in Austin before heading off to ravish the rest of the nation with their lyrical novelty.
Decemberists host sold out concerts world-wide and never cease to remain at the top of the Indie charts. Under major record label Capitol Records they are prepared to release "The Hazards of Love," their new album set to launch March 24 of this year.
While "Engine Driver" is my all-time favorite, "Hazards of Love" from their new album presents a different sound than their usual and is sure to draw in a new crowd.
Perhaps my favorite characteristic of the Decemberists is that they write music like poetry. It is evident that their songwriter, Colin Maloy, is a fiction writer and is quite fond of the fluffy adjectives.
Be sure to look out for the Decemberists this month as well as the rest of '09 as they come to a city near you. :-)
