Earlier this year, frontman Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello took to the road to promote the tenth anniversary of their side project, The Postal Service’s album, Give Up. Te tour had been ongoing since the beginning of the year, eventually wrapping up in Chicago this past August.

While the Death Cab’s last album was in 2011, it doesn’t meant hat Gibbard had been away from music at all. The singer released a solo album titled, Former Lives last October. As for Death Cab the full band, they played their break out album, Transatlanticism, in full during their tour stop in Seattle during the Bumbershoot festival in celebration of the tenth anniversary of that album.
