The Decemberists

[antoniostrohs]

Finally got the new disc by the The Decemberist(Picaresque) which is also the first one I heard.Great sound that reminds me of early Fairport Convention and latter day Belle and Sebastian because of their British folk sound but are actually from Portland OR. Also got to see them perform here in Louisville Saturday night.They put on an amazing show with a unique sound of their own.It was a pretty good crowd on hand and even our own Mr Jim James was there and down in front stage left.

I was recently introduced to them, and I LOVED the new record. Got to hear it on a long drive.  Unfortunately, the cover art wasn't in the car, but I hear it's pretty fun, too!

p.s.  1.  What venue were they at?  2.  Who opened for them?

(I'm really curious about opening acts right now.)

They were at Headliners Music Hall here in Louisville.A singer by the name of Rebbeca Gates opened the show doing a solo set.It was advertised that Willy Mason was going to open.Oh well Rebecca was very enjoyable.

I wonder what happened to Willy!

Did Rebecca play by herself, or did she have a band?  Did people listen?

(Thank you for allowing this interrogation.  :))

I wonder what happened to Willy!

He's cancelled his gigs with MMJ too. I saw him when he supported them in London last year. Really enjoyed his set. There's an explanation of sorts on his website. Looks like he's had enough of being shepherded around. (Is shepherded a word?)

Wow.Wow wow.

Poor guy, whatever the case, he's got a lot on his very young mind. Good luck, Mr. Mason.

BUT, this begs the question - who the hell is going to open for the band???!!!

on edit: Oh! Parker and Lily. Well that's good - I was sad that I thought I wouldn't get to see them. Okay then.

on 2nd edit: I took out some stuff that's just retarded on my part. :)
