Sunday night prior to the MLB All Star game one of the many events happening in KC was the Death Cab For Cutie show at The Crossroads KC right behind Grinders. I've heard their music over the past 10-15 years and was there as part of headcount.org volunteering to get people registered to vote who have either moved recently or have never registered.
It was a good experience walking around before the show talking to people who were in town for the show and those who were in town for the MLB All Star game. The band certainly has a diverse group of followers from young 15-17 year olds all the way up to the 40+ crowd. I found the crowd of approximately 2000 to be very friendly and supportive of getting people to register to vote for the upcoming elections.
As far as the performace it started out with Ben Gibbard doing a solo tune "Will Follow You Into the Dark" and then set into a full band session the rest of the way through. The band had a lot of enery and really sounded good on a hot KC night. The crowd was energetic as well and really sang along and took part in the show.
It was a good night for Headcount in collecting some new voter registrations and a good night of music. I would recommend checking them out if they play near you.
