Death Cab for Cutie

On March 11, 2000, Death Cab for Cutie performed 'Bend to Squares' at the Kirkland Senior Center, a cozy venue that perfectly matched their intimate indie sound. This live recording took place shortly after the release of their album 'We Have the Fact and We're Voting Yes' in 1999, which was a critical stepping stone in their career. At this point, the band was gaining traction within the indie music scene, blending heartfelt lyricism with melodic instrumentation. Interestingly, this performance captures the raw energy and emotional depth that fans adore, showcasing their early DIY ethos before they skyrocketed to mainstream success. It's a fascinating glimpse into their evolution, reflecting a time when they were still somewhat under the radar, but already crafting songs that would resonate with so many.
