For all those Decemberists fans out there waiting patiently for Thanksgiving weekend (a four-night run in San Francisco) to happen here's some bad and then even worse news. First, the bad: Decemberists' tour is canceled. Over. Done. Second, the worse news: now you have to find some other excuse why you don't want to spend time with your crazy family. We're thinking that this just sucks all around. What else was were we going to do that weekend besides shop?
Okay, okay, okay. Here is some good news. We are giving away two copies of The Decemberists' The Crane Wife on vinyl. Also, if you haven't already bought their new EP, then do - that might hold you over for a little while.
Enter here: (Two winners will be picked at the close of the contest on Monday, Nov. 5th)
Here is a taste of their new EP: (Albeit a very different sound than you are used to!)
Listen to "The Perfect Crime # 2 (Junior Boys Remix)"
To read the official letter from the band, take the jump...
Here is the official letter:
With much regret The Decemberists have cancelled the remainder of "The Long and Short of It" tour.One of our band members has been ill for a while but we thought all would be well in time for these tour dates. After a couple shows, though, it has become clear that the illness is much worse than we had initially realized. We need to return home so our friend can mend.
It saddens us to disappoint our fans. We hope everybody understands it is only because of an extreme situation that we had to cancel a tour we've all been excited about doing since the idea was originally hatched.
Our deepest apologies but at this time no plans are being made to reschedule the dates. Ticket holders should seek refunds at point of purchase.
