I used to go around and be a jerk and put in wrong facts

Death cab for cutie is an all around good band but i find they get very dull fast. They don't have much reach

WHAT? They are amazing live!

Yeah when I saw Death Cab they were great too, though Ted Leo is kind of hard to follow up.

They are boring live. They sounded good, but they put no energy into their shows. The crowd just stands there staring. I was on the rail for the show and there was just no excitement in the place at all. It was like being at a funeral.

It's ok, the very next night I saw NIN, QOTSA and Autolux and it completely made up for it and washed the bad taste out of my mouth.

Death Cab for Cutie isn't exactly the kind of band you go and mosh too and I don't see how you can hear one of their songs and expect a very energetic performance, their music isn't very fast or loud.

I understand. But when 500+ people are literally just standing there not moving a muscle, it's kinda boring and uninteresting. A lot of the songs they did were up beat and it felt like no one was even bouncing their foot to the beat. Actually, I think it's because I saw such a better show the next night that I have this so low on my totem pole of concerts.

I think it's kind of expected of a Death Cab show though when I saw them we were all allowed to sit down so that probably would make a huge difference.

Death Cab For Cutie was and still is one of my favorite bands. They have a completely innovative sound. Ben Gibbard's voice is something that is rarely heard, because it is such a soft sound. The only thing I find somewhat offset about this band is how gloomy it is. A good majority of their songs deal with somewhat saddening topics. And when they do attempt a happier subject matter it still comes out gloomy. Overall fantastic band that will go down in indie history.
