The Decemberists will perform this Sunday, May 18th, 2008, at a rally with presidential candidate Barack Obama in the band’s hometown of Portland, OR.
The rally will take place at The Bowl in Waterfront Park (at the corner of SW Columbia St. and SW Naito Pkwy., south of the Hawthorne Bridge). Doors will open at 12:30 p.m. The Decemberists’ set will be followed by a speech from Senator Obama.
The rally is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required, but an RSVP is strongly encouraged. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Decemberists - comprised of Colin Meloy (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Funk (guitar and assorted instruments), Jenny Conlee (keyboards), Nate Query (bass) and John Moen (drums) - have demonstrated a remarkably sweeping command of literary and musical styles while forging an aesthetic all their own.
‘The Crane Wife’, the band’s 2006 album, was hailed by Pitchfork as “an enormous folk-prog monsterpiece.”
