Bumbershoot Announces Lineup, Death Cab For Cutie Will Play ‘Transatlantacism’ To Headline

May 3rd, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Seattle’s music and art festival, Bumbershoot, has been going on since the 1970s, but only recently have its headlining acts stepped up their game. The festival, which takes place August 31 through September 2, is headlined by fun., Death Cab For Cutie, MGMT, Kendrick Lamar, Heart, and Tegan & Sara – certainly, nothing to scoff at.

Now it seems Ben Gibbard is on a 2003 kick. First he got The Postal Service back together, and now, at Bumbershoot, he plans to play 2003′s Transatlantacism all the way through during their set. If only I could get fun. …

WATCH: Ben Gibbard – “I’m Building A Fire” On The Colbert Report

January 11th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

While we still have no concrete information on The Postal Service‘s potential reunion at Coachella, Ben Gibbard has continued his efforts promoting his debut solo album on The Colbert Report. He already had a solid performance late last year on Conan, but now we have another video (and a different song) worth watching: “I’m Building A Fire”.

We liked Former Lives here at UTG. I wish Colbert cracked a joke or something in the video, but as a music performance, you still need to catch it if you’re a fan. Check out the video after the …

Ben Gibbard Performs “Something’s Rattling” With Mariachi Band On Conan

December 21st, 2012 Grant Trimboli

Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard was asked to perform a special set on Conan O’Brien last night and the results were brilliant.

As the title states, Gibbard performed his song “Something’s Rattling” with mariachi band Trio Ellas. The group provided an upbeat tempo for his new material and shows us that we do not always need electric guitars to get our message of music across. They used percussion and horns as well.

The song is off of Ben Gibbard’s latest solo release, Former Lives, which came to us through Barsuk Records.

REVIEW: Ben Gibbard – Former Lives

October 19th, 2012 Dan Bogosian

Artist: Ben Gibbard
Album: Former Lives
Label: Barsuck

I always thought of Death Cab For Cutie as a Ben Gibbard experience. It made me wonder why he would ever need a solo album – so much of Death Cab is just one man, and so much of it is clearly just written by one guy and orchestrated by a full band; why would a solo album be necessary for the glasses wearing emo man? But then, this is album is surprisingly different than Death Cab For Cutie; it is clearly a solo album in style and songwriting, and that took …
