As we patiently await May 31 for the release of Codes and Keys, Death Cab for Cutie have announced a healthy combination of news that should tie over some until then. May 18 will see the band embarking on a short tour of North America beginning in Toronto, followed by an even quicker excursion to Europe, playing nine shows. An added bonus sees some of these dates being accompanied by Bright Eyes, and the lesser known Lonely Forest as some further incentive.
May 31 also now marks the release of a live DVD, Live at the Mt. Baker Theatre, highlighting the band’s two-night performance in Washington, 2009. While there’s nothing new on the DVD, it will surely prove to be a great retrospect into the band’s live show.
