Murder by Death
press release: Louisville's Murder By Death is on tour celebrating their 20th anniversary and will be in Madison at the Majestic Theatre with support from Amigo the Devil.
This milestone 2020 tour (moved to 2021) will feature songs selected from all eight albums in the band’s catalog and fan-curated setlists each night. Ticket holders for the anniversary shows will receive a free zine, looking back at the band’s 20-year history.
Murder By Death’s eighth full-length album The Other Shore is a space-western about a ravaged Earth, its fleeing populace, and a relationship in jeopardy. It’s an epic journey rocketing toward the unknown—in the universe, within the characters represented through 11 songs, and through the band’s evolving sound. But basically, the quest poses the ultimatum: Stick with what you have or risk it all to find something new.
