The Decemberists - Live at The Showbox 2008

The Decemberists, live at The Showbox, Seattle, 2nd May 2008

Colin Meloy and his band of slightly less than merry men (and women), have been around for many a year now, slowly building up a dedicated fanbase, Picaresque and The Crane Wife having pushed them further towards the upper echelons of the indie darlings charts.

I've got another show from exactly the same venue kicking about somewhere, from 2003 I believe, which is a fantastic show. After years of touring and playing together, admittedly with differing members, they get better and better, as this fine show goes to erm...show.

03. Shiny
04. The Soldiering Life
