How to describe The Decemberists? A blend of Barenaked Ladies meets folk...Last night's gig at Nottingham Trent University was a very enjoyable 100 minutes. I'm not totally familiar with their material (I've only listened to one of their albums a couple of times) but that didn't really matter on the night. I wasn't sure how the gig was going to go; were the band po-faced musicians or did they have fun with the audience? My question was answered by the very tongue-in-cheek intro that was performed just before the band came on. From there on out we were treated a really good set, with a fair bit of banter with the audience thrown in for good measure, culminating in the band members swapping instruments for a mad encore. Definitely someone I'd see again.
