Music Decemberists Opening For Some Guy at Waterfront Park

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Fri, May 16 at 2:25 PM

The Decemberists are playing a free show this Sunday at The Bowl at Waterfront Park.

They’ll be opening up for some guy I’ve never heard of who is from Chicago (I bet he knows Jim O’Rourke or Albini) and probably on a major label or something. The show is free, but you should RSVP in advance right here.

Well, hey, free Decemberists show and a chance to see the next leader of the free world. And by that I mean Colin Meloy, of course. Who else would it be?

Mike D and Thee Loyal Bastards would be the funniest opener for McCain... but Everclear would probably more appropriate.

What's the point of RSVPing if it's @ Waterfront Park? just giving up your info to the Obama campaign or... ?

I did not. I got a call from someone in the band's camp telling me about it. As far as the poor Photoshopping goes, that is just because I was busy and couldn't find a bowler hat and old timey monocle to put on Obama.
