Decemberists Roll Call

Unfortunately, I am going to be in Chicago on Monday night so I'll be missing this show.
I have a ticket that I can't use. If anybody is in Rosslyn today and wants the ticket (gratis), send me a PM.

I'll be there… Just turn around and look left up towards the DJ booth and wave :) Hopefully no one will leap from the balcony in despair, because of the moody chamber pop heavy set being planned.

Amy Annelle, leader of opening band The Places, is a brilliant songwriter and singer, so if you're going try not to miss her.

i'll be there, and i won't be working. kosmo, i might pop in to the DJ booth to say hi. this is a strong triple-bill, and the places should surprise many that go early.

Looks like they will be playing The Tain again this tour, I know others did not care for it, but I am really glad they are doing it again.

I'll be there. I have a softball game that I'm committed to, so, unless it rains, I'll probably only get there in time for The Decemberists. Saw them at the Black Cat a few months ago, and I thought they were excellent.

Someone cannot spell the bands name correctly…..
On the front page:
Today is……
Decembrists
Maybe we will get to see Russian revolutionaries instead?

I wonder how full the show will be, would be a shame if it was not very full, I think part of the reason the other 2 shows were so good is that they were excited to see how full the rooms were.

great show, can't really say if it was better than the other 2 because they all had moments that made them great, they did play a pretty long set with a couple of new songs and generally more upbeat songs (no Grace Cathedral Hill for example), the cover of Ask was a nice touch as well and the sound was fantastic

Wow what a great show! Would have to say the highlight was "The Tain" even though it was the first time I'd ever heard it. For me the show started out a bit slow but really picked up steam towards the end.
I'll post my DJ setlist later today…

congrats Kosmo on another good set, thanks for the GBV and Fruit Bats
meant to mention the openers, The Places had a couple good songs, including one which made me think she was going to break out in to Neko Case's Deep Red Bells, I think I would prefer her on her recorded material more
The Long Winters put on another quality show, they are pretty consistent and tend to have a good time with the crowd, John Roderick was again hanging out in the back talking to fans
