Death Cab for Cutie–led by the newly slimmed down (and engaged to Zooey Deschanel) Ben Gibbard–are going back on tour this spring in support of last year's Narrow Stairs, and they're getting help from two acts from 'round here; Long Beach-based Cold War Kids and Huntington Beach singer/songwriter Matt Costa.
Cold War Kids are taking the first leg of the tour along with Syracuse's much-buzzed about Ra Ra Riot, with Matt Costa picking up CWK's slack in May for the final five dates (because the general public just can't handle two OC/LB acts on one bill). Sadly, the closest the tour comes to here is the RIMAC Arena, with the DCFC/RRR/CWK lineup, in San Diego on April 29.
