Death Cab for Cutie

On July 17, 2009, Death Cab for Cutie delivered a heartfelt performance of "Grapevine Fires" at McMenamins Historic Edgefield Manor in Troutdale, Oregon. By this time, the band had just released their sixth studio album, "Narrow Stairs," which came out in May 2008 and featured hits like "I Will Follow You into the Dark." This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a more experimental sound that further solidified their place in the indie rock scene. Interestingly, "Grapevine Fires" deals with themes of loss and natural disasters, reflecting the band's signature introspective lyrics. The live setting of Edgefield, known for its vibrant and intimate atmosphere, likely contributed to the emotional weight of the performance, making it a memorable night for the band and their fans alike.
