Murder by Death

any of yall fans? ive gotten into them w/ their last release i really enjoy the singers vocal style almost like that of johnny cash's

i downloaded their latest album after seeing it on a best of list that had a bunch of other albums i love on it, but i have yet to listen to it

its pretty good, not their best work, but enjoy the hell outa it. the dude claims to have never listened to johnny cash, but i call bullshit because his vox and style are soo similar

This band rules, and the cellist (female) is a total babe. Who's seeing them in their upcoming tour with Fake Problems?

im pretty sure she left the band :/ and i would love to see them, but idont think they are coming to houston

She did? :'(

nooo im a liar, it was the person in cursive who left. sorry about that lol

i fucking LOVE Murder by Death! i saw them at SxSW in 2004 and fell in love, with the music and the cellist! hah!

so so amazing live. do go if you get a chance.

and to put it in perspective, i got to see them on the same bill as Against Me! and Dillenger Escape Plan. And there was unlimited free Red Stripe beer.

i shit you not. one of the best shows i've ever seen.

seeing as they're touring with TGA this fall, i figured i should get to know some of their stuff. where should i start?

who will survive and what will be left of them is my personal favorite. red of tooth and claw is right behind it. Had to bump this thread to get people more stoked on this band. Also all of their split 7" they've done this year have been great as well. I started listening to them 5 years ago and its cool to see how they've changed their sound (each album sounds like there is a new lead singer)

They play their set with clips from horror movies shown in the background. They are def the odd band out on the tour. super excited to see them again

is that a cello? I don't know my strings -- I though those things were could basses and a double bass was a big one -- maybe I'm confused. Either way -- is it electric? Because they one she was played at the show didn't seem to have any box for the sound like most stringed instruments do and looked totally bad-ass.

yup electric cello

seems like nobody has been into them who has seen them on the tour thus far, thats such a bummer....so damn good

I like what I've heard. If I buy just one of their albums, which do you recommend and why?

In Bocca Al Lupo cause its better

not sure what the title is of the record i bought, but i bought one after seeing them on this tour! i was amazed at how many people were there at most of the shows for murder by death. at the arizona show, most of the people i talked to were there for mbd and i told them they had to stay for gaslight! i'd like to see them on their own tour playing with the horror movie clips playing behind them.

Epic show last night. First time I saw them live. Words wouldn't even do it justice...

eh they were good, but not great in edmonton. i was more impressed with the other 2 opening acts.

I've heard of them a very long time ago, last night at the show was the first time I actually heard their music and I was instantly hooked. I got up today and got most their stuff off itunes and have been rocking it all day. Very original stuff, loving it. They def. made a new fan last night.

One of my favourite bands. Who Will Survive and In Bocca are great albums.

I just downloaded there albums and I must say I don't like it at all

Can not understand the love for these guys...sorry.

Wow, I really hear a Nick Cave sound to the vocals... not so much the man in black... but then again, so far I have only heard one song

forgot to post these... but here are two videos from the detroit show.
