Remember 2003, when emo was cool and MySpace was a thing? It was also the year that the pillowy, black plastic glasses-clad frontman of Death Cab For Cutie, Ben Gibbard, put out an emotionally charged, terrifically catchy electro-pop album with producer Jimmy Tamborello under the moniker The Postal Service. Ten years later, nostalgia has set in, and the short-lived duo is embarking on an anniversary tour. It’s easy to guess what songs you’ll hear, since they only released 10 of them. But Gibbard and Tamborello are touring with a full band and former Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis, so there may be some surprises along the way. Read more >>> The Postal Service performs with Ra Ra Riot at 6 p.m. at Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia. $35–$45. (410) 715-5550. merriweathermusic.com.
