Bloomington, Indiana’s Murder By Death announces their summer tour dates in Europe and the UK, including an appearance at the Latitude Festival. The band is currently in the midst of the second leg of the national U.S. tour in support of their fourth full- length and Vagrant debut, Red of Tooth and Claw (03/04/08).
“
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to come tour Europe and play for the various peoples, see all the sights, and drink all the beers,” says singer, songwriter and guitarist
Adam Turla.
Fans in the Los Angeles area can go to Vagrant.com or MySpace starting Tuesday at 3pm Pacific to enter a drawing to win a pair of tickets to an exclusive video shoot and barbecue taking place on Saturday, May 17th. The band will be performing a short live set that will be filmed in high-definition courtesy of NonStop Riot, followed by a barbecue with the band in attendance.
Red Of Tooth And Claw finds Murder By Death at the height of their powers. Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Trina Shoemaker (Queens Of The Stone Age, Emmylou Harris, Iggy Pop) at Dark Horse studios in Tennessee, the album captures the drama and nuance of MBD’s sound without compromising a lick of the band’s energy. Paste Magazine asserts that Red of Tooth and Claw “triumphs on the sheer energy of the band’s performances - every one of them swirling, unapologetic tours-de-force” and Alternative Press states that MBD “finally realized the full potential they’ve been hinting at - and like all great stories, its not always pretty.”
Murder By Death is: Adam Turla (guitar, vocals), Sarah Balliet (cello, keys), Matt Armstrong (bass), and drummer Dagan Thogerson.
