Decemberists @ 9:30 Club
I caught my first ever Decemberists show Monday night before I headed over to see Beck. The verdict? They're great performers but not my thing. Colin Meloy does this weird lips over his teeth thing when he sings. It kind of creeps me out.
If this doesn't satisfy your craving for all things Decemberists, head on over to DCist where we're pitting audience members against each other in a battle of concert reviews for the ultimate Decemberist prize pack. There are some great anecdotes over there. Definitely worth reading if you're a fan. NPR recorded the show for your listening pleasure. Here is their NPR show from 2005. Compare and contrast.
Also, there are more Colin Meloy pictures over on Flickr.





It looks like his teeth are over his bottom lip. (Yes, I actually looked, because I was trying to imagine how lips over teeth could be disturbing!)
Colin Meloy looks like a genetic fusion between Ben Gibbard and Ross from The Futureheads.
