"This is the first time I've played a show or felt a time appropriate to tell our stories," explained Death Cab for Cutie lead singer Ben Gibbard while stepping onto the "VH1 Storytellers" stage on April 20th.
The Bellingham, WA natives played a mesmerizing 90 minute set in front of 150 fans at their taping in Culver City, CA. Opening the night up with "The New Year," the band quickly moved on to "Photobooth."
While getting into the swing of things, Ben revealed to the crowd "This feels a little bit like being on Oprah. I just haven't talked about a lot this stuff and its bringing up some old shit."
From there the band moved on to the fan favorite, "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" from their 2005 album, "Plans." Gibbard confessed to the audience that he wrote the song in 15 minutes adding that because he wrote it so quickly, he felt as if he "channeled the song.
I didn't necessarily 'write' it [the old fashioned way]." The band also treated the audience to two songs off their new album including the title track "Codes And Keys" and "Stay Young, Go Dancing."
Gibbard introduced the latter by saying, "I think as a recently married man, I'm allowed to do a love song."
Throughout the evening the band discussed their lives as musicians and giving up their "idyllic" lives in Bellingham to move to the "big city" of Seattle in hopes of one day making it.
