Band name...
could somone cite their sources? Could have sworn the Beatles were first to use the name... when did "Gorilla" come out in relation to MMT?
Bands Origin For some reason I thought that the band were from Seattle and the liner notes on the albums seem to suggest this. Also I am sure that Gibbard was born in Seattle from an interview in the Rolling STone. Correct me please...
>>Yes they are from Seattle, at concerts they announce themselves as "We are Death Cab for Cuite from Seattle".
- The band formed in Bellingham, Washington north of Seattle where they were attending college at the time. [1]
The phrase 'Death Cab For Cutie' was first used in the 1957 book "The Uses of Literacy" by Richard Hoggart. It was the title of a fictional novel, used to illustrate the type of sensationalist reading material that was coming into fashion in the 1950s and 1960s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Coxell (talk • contribs) 15:55, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
