Murder By Death
BioMurder by Death (formerly known as Little Joe Gould) is a four-piece rock band from Bloomington, Indiana. Their name comes from Robert Moore's 1976 movie of the same name.The band plays an eclectic range of music, from eight minute ethereal instrumentals, to driving punk rock, to alt-country. Their earlier releases create an eerie southern gothic sound accented by keyboard and electric cello while their later releases, which still incorporated the cello, but less keyboard, become more guitar driven with a combination of edgy punk sneering and fantastical western woes. Many songs use themes such as zombies and the Devil that often tie into their concept albums. For example, their second full-length, Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them?, is the story of the Devil coming to a village in Mexico and the war that ensues between him and the townspeople. The band was discovered by Thursday vocalist, Geoff Rickly, who helped them get signed to Eyeball Records and produced their second album. The group has played with a variety of artists such as The Weakerthans, Rasputina, Lucero, Against Me!, Interpol, Cursive, William Elliott Whitmore, Mock Orange and The Get Up Kids. In the summer of 2004, the group was direct support, along with Minus the Bear during the Braid United States reunion tour. On October 31, 2007, Murder by Death announced on their official MySpace page that Vagrant Records would release their fourth full-length album, titled Red of Tooth and Claw, in spring of 2008.
