Their high-energy live show has become legendary. Pitchfork placed the band in their Best Live Shows of 2005 list noting, "the greatest rock and roll tour of the year took place this past summer in public libraries across AmericaThe Decemberists wish they could lit-rock like this. Inspired by equal parts Fugazi and They Might Be Giants, Bruce Springsteen and Negativland, the band continues to occupy a bizarre niche that brings their DIY punk ethos to the fandom of a mainstream cultural phenomena. In 2019, they will release Lumos, their first full-length album in over a decade, and will embark on an extensive 90 day tour of libraries across the United States.
