Celebrating two milestones - the twentieth-year anniversary of two influential records for The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Gibbard is on a roll, set to rock the stage. As 2023 marked 20 years of changing the game with "Give Up" and "Transatlanticism" - both shaping the sonic universe of new wave and rock, both bands are teaming up for a co-headlining tour. Originally set to stage celebrations throughout 2023, Gibbard just announced extended tour dates, stretching throughout 2024. As both records share their iconic attitudes, it's bound to be an unforgettable night.
The Postal Service has Jimmy Tamborello and Jenny Lewis on the team. They released "Give Up" back on February 18, 2003, with its certified-Gold single "Such Great Heights". It definitely soared to great heights as the album became a crowd favorite in the indie scene. It also featured other hits - "We Will Become Silhouettes", "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight", "Be Still My Heart", and "A Tattered Line of String", becoming staple favorites of early-2000s rock heads. The album kept rising and eventually became certified Platinum by the RIAA. Blending indie rock attitudes with new wave elements of synth-pop, it's a no-brainer that the record won everyone's hearts.
Gibbard's Death Cab for Cutie followed through with its own successful release - fourth LP "Transatlanticism". It marked their first mainstream breakthrough, debuting on the Billboard 200 chart. It also won itself a Gold certification from the RIAA. It featured the band's hit singles The New Year", "The Sound of Settling", and "Title and Registration". It isn't the band's most successful album, but it sure did pave the way for their amazing run and recognition in the indie-rock scene.
"I know for a fact I will never have a year again like 2003," Ben Gibbard shared. "The Postal Service record came out, Transatlanticism came out. These two records will be on my tombstone, and I’m totally fine with that. I’ve never had a more creatively inspired year."
Celebrating 20 years of industry-defining albums and 20 years of rockin' moments around the world, Ben Gibbard is stoked to keep "Give Up" and "Transatlanticism" on the road. Don't miss out by booking your tickets now!
