The only arguably arena-sized group with tickets going on sale in the Bay Area this weekend is Death Cab for Cutie, and Seattle&#8217;s most precious not-so-indie-anymore rock band is purposefully scaling things down and playing a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avclub.com\/chicago\/articles\/death-cab-for-cutie-announces-smallroom-tour,53482\/\" target=\"_blank\">tour of \u00a0alleged &#8220;small room&#8221; venues<\/a> that it can easily sell out. That would\u00a0ostensibly\u00a0include the show on June 9 at The Fillmore in San Francisco, although the band played there in 2008 at the height of &#8220;I Will Possess Your Heart&#8221; Mania (can anyone forget the unfortunate Gibbard Wigs fad?), so color me skeptical.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In other Seattle-centric news, grunge godfathers The Melvins are doing two dates at Great American Music Hall, but rather than back-to-back rundowns of greatest hits, the band is jumping on the &#8220;entire albums live&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esquire.com\/blogs\/endorsement\/entire-album-live-112409\" target=\"_blank\">bandwagon<\/a>.
