Murder By Death,Farewell Tour, June 27
Murder By Death are calling it quits after nearly 25 years of indie rock and roll, but not before the Indiana sextet, whose name is derived from the 1976 Robert Moore film, set out on a year-long farewell tour. Part of the North American run of 44 shows in all is an appearance at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on June 27. The news comes two years after the release of As We Wish, and one final album will be out to coincide with the tour. “This band has always been a jumble of contradictions,” says guitarist Adam Turla in a statement that can be read in full — and we recommend it — over on their homepage. “On the one hand, we’ve had a long-running career where we got to make art for a living. But on the other, we have always eluded any kind of traditional success… When I reflect on how good our career was and how lucky we were, I’m left with just gratitude for the small team of folks who have worked with the band and this grassroots fan following that has lifted us up the entire time. I feel like we owe any and all our success to you.” Tickets are on sale now.
