Chris Walla Performs Last Show With Death Cab for Cutie: Video

Last night at Rifflandia Festival in Victoria, British Columbia, Chris Walla, the longtime guitarist in Death Cab for Cutie, played his final show with the band. Video has surfaced of the last track performed at that show, "Marching Bands of Manhattan". "Thank you so much for the last 17 years, Chris," said Ben Gibbard. It's an emotional moment that ends with a group hug; watch below via Stereogum.

Walla will appear on their eighth album, which was recorded with Rich Costey (Interpol, Fiona Apple). It will be released in early 2015. 

"I will miss being a quarter of this band, and will support whatever course Death Cab for Cutie chooses from here," he wrote. "I am profoundly grateful to Ben, Nick, and Jason, for the experiences that define my adult life. Truly grateful, beyond words. Thank you."

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
