After the much publicized “green-screen challenge” with Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central, we are happy to say it has been put to rest. Or has it?
Regardless, The Decemberists gained a lot of new fans from the Colbert Nation show who are probably to see them live.
IRC has obtained the quirky indie pop group’s most updated concert dates (listed below) to support their latest album, The Crane Wife.
The gig-packed tour begins March 21 in New Jersey with My Brightest Diamond opening the show. Many of the venues are small, which is reportedly what the band members prefer. (Now there’s some real independent thinking). The group will tour through early May.
