It may have taken five albums and a major-label leap, but Milwaukee has finally made an official date with The Decemberists.
Frontman Colin Meloy brings his cast of players and his staggeringly impressive vocabulary for a show at The Pabst Theater on Monday, April 16 with special guest My Brightest Diamond.
The Decemberists' prolific career started in '02 with the release of "Castaways and Cutouts" on Kill Rock Stars. "Her Majesty" emerged in '03 and was followed by "The Tain" EP in '04 and "Picaresque" in '05. The band's latest album, "The Crane Wife," was released in '06 on Capitol Records and garnered much critical acclaim ranking high on many year-end top 10 lists.
Tickets are General Admission, and go on sale Friday, Feb. 2 at noon for $22 at The Pabst Theater box office, on the Web at pabsttheater.org and tickets.com, or by calling (414) 286-3663 or (800) 511-1552.

Julie, since in your interview with us you mentioned the commonality we had with The Decemberists, I took the liberty of writing to Albert to introduce ourselves. Thanks for the recommendation - I'll make an effort to get out to hear them in person. Dean Calin Bounding Main www.boundingmain.com

This is fabulous news! Caught them a couple times in Chicago. Definitely appreciate being able to catch them a 3rd time without having to make the drive to Chicago and back.

It's about time we don't get skipped for Chicago.

Should be a great show. Check out their SoHo Apple Store show on iTunes for a bit of a preview.
