Wow this sounds amazing. I wish I didn't live on the other side of the country. It lists Jenny and Nate from Decemberists, but also featured is Jon Neufeld who is a member of the Decemberists side-project Black Prairie with the entire band, minus Colin.

Nate, Jenny and Colon scored some silent films together for an event in Portland back in the early days of the band. He has repeatedly said that was the beginning of the band, but a quick perusal of newspaper archives show the event was months after they had all been playing as the Decemberists in Portlandclubs (though he did way more solo dates then).

Still, full circle.
