For a band long castigated for their emo-image, Death Cab For Cutie sure know how to rock out. Their generous 21-song set list was delivered with an energy that would surprise their detractors; a well-balanced mix of new stuff and crowd-pleasing oldies, the recent “Narrow Stairs” material particularly impresses with their return to a more guitar-based sound adding a bit of extra kick to their melodies. A couple of overly mellow tracks fizzed out unspectacularly, but there’s little else to criticise in a show the band admitted was “their best for ages”- the all-encompassing post-rock coda of closer Transatlanticism being a perfectly powerful closer for a night that never less than impressed.(Photo: Lastyearsgirl_ (Flickr))
