Video: Death Cab for Cutie perform at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards
If you missed Death Cab for Cutie on the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, you can check out the performance on the VH1 website. The band performed a cover of the classic Simple Minds song, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" from the classic film, "The Breakfast Club" during a tribute to filmmaker John Hughes.
Here's what Nick said about the tribute:
"We are truly proud to help pay tribute to the late John Hughes. His films were important waypoints for us to use as we navigated the uncertain waters of growing up and even now still give us so much perspective, insight and laughter about those uncomfortable years. We honor him and will continue to celebrate him with our music and through his films for years to come."
