Danzig's "Mother"
We were asked back to the Onion AV Club’s Chicago office to try our hand at the Danzig classic, “Mother.” The results are below. Rated PG-13 for moderate violence and wolf’s blood.

NPR just premiered our new music video based around a shadow puppet show designed and constructed by Baltimore’s own Katherine Fahey. Directed by Michael O’Leary. Enjoy!

Atlanta tonight is CANCELED
Hey all, very sorry to say that we have to call off tonight’s show in Atlanta due to illness.
For those of you with presale tickets, refunds will be available from the point of purchase.
Here is a note from Jenn …
Dear ATL,
I have played shows with colds, flus, strep throat, and a sprained back. I don’t cancel shows…I hate cancelling shows…

Our Band Could Be Your Life

Detroit is cancelled, but fret not
Whoever thought it was a good idea to tour the Northeast in the dead of winter was clearly wrong. We’ve been getting pummeled with snow at just about every stop, and our show tonight in Detroit is the first casualty. It’s cancelled. Or, technically, it’s rescheduled until April. But that will be without us - just the Decemberists.
But on the upside, we’ll be back in...
