It’s been 15 years since Death Cab for Cutie released Transatlanticism. Let’s let that sink in for a second. The album, released in 2003, was a critical success for the US band, and it features singles ‘The New Year’, ‘Title and Registration’ and title song ‘Transatlanticism’. The album meant a lot to a lot of people, so a bunch of Melbourne musicians have decided to pay tribute in a one-off concert at the Corner Hotel.
So This Is A Death Cab for Cutie Party will bring JP Klipspringer, J M S Harrison, Lauren Perkins (from Face Face), Emma Heeney and many more together to perform Transatlanticism in its entirety, as well as a few other songs from Death Cab’s back catalogue, including hits from Plans, Narrow Stairs and more. They might even throw in a few Postal Service songs if we’re lucky.
It all goes down on Saturday August 11 at the Corner. Get ready to succumb to all those early-aughts emo feels all over again.
