MURDER BY DEATH 20TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW
This winter the band will be touring to celebrate 20 years since their first show!
MBD: “We've been so fortunate to have such die-hard fans who have supported us throughout the years. We started out playing basements and art spaces, touring in a minivan, and we never imagined having such a long and wonderful career. We owe it to you!”
Expect fan-curated sets, reaching back into their catalog, playing deep cuts. They have relearned songs from Who Will Survive, In Bocca Al Lupo and many more. Every ticket holder will get a free zine at the show, looking back at the last 20 years of MBD.

Murder by Death is an American five-piece indie rock band from Bloomington, Indiana. Their name is derived from the 1976 Robert Moore film of the same name. Murder by Death released its first studio album in 2002, and has since released seven more studio albums.
What resonates most with supporters is the band’s energetic, unique, and altogether consistent sound and conceptualized vision. The personnel and ingredients of the group consist of Sarah Balliet’s throaty cello melodies, singer/guitarist Adam Turla’s booming baritone vocals and brawny guitar strumming, drummer Dagan Thogerson and bassist Matt Armstrong’s locked-down, post-punk rhythm section interplay, and Scott Brackett’s (formerly of Okkervil River and Shearwater) multi-instrumentalist bag of tricks (including piano, trumpet, accordion, mandolin, vocals, percussion). The overriding sound is an amalgamation of textures ranging from dark and desolate to upbeat and brightly melodic, all of it landing somewhere under the orchestrated indie rock umbrella.
