HOT TIP: Ben Gibbard Solo Tour

Death Cab for Cutie at the Theater at MSG, Night 2   Death Cab for Cutie at the Theater at MSG, Night 2

Who knew?! I certainly didn't. But now you and I both do.

Ben Gibbard, adorable frontman of Death Cab for Cutie, with an equally adorable habit of swaying left to right the entire time he plays onstage, is having himself a little solo shindig. The thought of him without Chris Walla and the boys is both completely unexpected and perplexing. Meanwhile, I find it terribly tantalizing. Here's the deets, courtesy of Death Cab's fan club newsletter:
