The Decemberists are playing the Big Sky Brewing Company concert series on May 24 in Missoula.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale Feb. 6 at 10 a.m. at the Big Sky Brewing Company, Rockin’ Rudy’s Record in Missoula, by phone at 866-468-7624 or online at www.TicketWeb.com or www.KnittingFactory.com. General admission tickets are $32.
The Decemberists' new album, "What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World," has been four years in the making front man and songwriter Colin Meloy said.
“We were on hiatus, so we had all the time we could want, no schedule or tour, no expectations.”
With the ability to work at their own pace, the record is viewed as the band’s most varied and dynamic work, both musically and emotionally.
Since their earliest recordings more than a decade ago, the Decemberists have been known for their sense of scope and daring—from “The Tain,” an 18 1/2-minute 2004 single based on an Irish myth to their last two ambitious, thematic albums, "The Hazards of Love" and "The King is Dead."
The Decemberists are Meloy, Chris Funk (guitars), Jenny Conlee (keyboards),Nate Query (bass), and John Moen (drums).
