Cold War Kids, Matt Costa to Tour with Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie--led by the newly slimmed down (and engaged to Zooey Deschanel) Ben Gibbard--are going back on tour this spring in support of last year's Narrow Stairs, and they're getting help from two acts from 'round here; Long Beach-based Cold War Kids and Huntington Beach singer/songwriter Matt Costa.

Cold War Kids are taking the first leg of the tour along with Syracuse's much-buzzed about Ra Ra Riot, with Matt Costa picking up CWK's slack in May for the final five dates (because the general public just can't handle two OC/LB acts on one bill). Sadly, the closest the tour comes to here is the RIMAC Arena, with the DCFC/RRR/CWK lineup, in San Diego on April 29.
