On The Shoulders Of Giants - Interview With Nick @ Radio City Music Hall

New York, October 6 - Radio City Music Hall, somewhere behind the stage door, right next to the elevator a sign shows: "2nd Floor - Death Cab For Cutie's suite" I got in and eagerly pressed 2. A few seconds later, the doors bluntly opened. There was a striking quietness about this place, at the time both relaxing and disturbing. The sound of my steps on the blue carpet seemed to vanish in endless corridors. The lady in charge of the press broke the silence - "Room 207, Nick Harmer - Bassist Of Death Cab for Cutie is that right?" - Indeed it was. Nick was still taking a nap when we showed up, later he will confess "that he was a little tired today as they were playing their 4Th show in a row". Tired maybe, but that was certainly not going to erode any of his enthusiasm - "We're really excited about tonight, nervous too you know, there's so much history in this room… But, really I think tonight is going to be the one." As a matter of fact, it could be the one. Death Cab for Cutie can be proud of what they've achieved over the last years. A new record - "Narrow Stairs" - that's been more than well received, a previous one (Plans) that sold over a Million copies. "We're still a small pretty intimate band" Nick says - "but we grew". They grew indeed. Tonight, when the Indie-Rock band composed of Ben Gibbard, Nick Harmer, Chris Walla and Jason McGerr will hit the stage, every single seat of the 5933 available at Radio City Music Hall will be filled. Death cab for Cutie will then be standing, contemplating their crowd from somewhere they should always have been; somewhere they belong; on the shoulder of giants. Interview.
