Death Cab For Cutie have just announced a slew of tour dates that will see them playing intimate venues rather than the larger halls they've been filling for the past couple tours. Of course, we lucky Chicago fans will be able to catch Death Cab at the Metro on the second date of the tour, May 20.
The tour dates are as follows:
5/18, Toronto, ON (Phoenix Concert Theatre)
5/20, Chicago IL (Metro)
5/21, Minneapolis MN (First Avenue)
5/24, Edmonton, AB (Shaw Conference Center)
5/25, Calgary, AB (Stampede Corral)
5/27, Bend, OR (Les Schwab Amphitheatre)
5/28, George, WA (Sasquatch!)
6/1, New York, NY (Bowery)
6/3, Washington, DC (9:30 Club)
6/4, Philadelphia (Trocadero)
6/5, Boston (The Paradise)
6/7, Los Angeles (El Rey Theatre)
6/9, San Francisco (Fillmore)
Tickets for the Metro show will go on sale this Saturday, March 26 at NOON (Chicago time). Initially, tix were to be made available via the Metro box office, but a recent tweet from the venue tells us that tix are being sold ONLINE ONLY.
Fan club members, of course, will get first dibs at tix on March 24. You might wanna join the band's fan club if you haven't already.
Death Cab will also be releasing their new album, Codes and Keys, in May. Check out this page for cover art and track listing.
Here's an acoustic version of the album's title cut, performed by Ben Gibbard:
