Ladies and gents. Adam here. Just wanted to let you folks know how excited we are about our upcoming summer tour. We are (finally) getting back to a lot of the big US cities we have been missing. Its our most ambitious tour ever, from big beautiful rooms to old favorites. We are travelling with an awesome stage set that we built that will transform the rooms into MBD territory. Gonna bring back some songs you haven't heard in a while, in addition to bitchin' new ones.For those of you not in these cities... DO NOT DESPAIR. We are working on dates for the next year all over. Yes, Europe we are coming back. Australia, we will do our damndest not to get ripped off again and hope to set foot on your beautiful soil. Presales begin may 4/5 depending on the show. Dates are up at http://www.murderbydeath.com/tour.php
The hits just keep coming. We have just been told and are forced to announce with great sadness and bitter anger that our Australian tour has been cancelled by the promoter, Jung Hearts. According to them, their investor has "disappeared" so all funding has been withdrawn. Apparently, he has bamboozled other promoters in the past. Who knows. They did not book our flights, arrange Visas etc. so we are unable to throw something together to make these dates happen. Our booking agent and MBD have tried everything we can think of to try to salvage this tour but we are out of options. We realize that the actions of the promoter (first, pushing the tour back and then cancelling it) reflect badly on us too, but there is nothing we have been able to do about it. We are completely at the whim of the people putting on the shows, arranging transport and gear, paying for flights, setting up publicity etc. It has been a dream of ours for a long time to visit Australia and we could not be more frustrated and upset that this happened to us. We sincerely apologize to people who bought tickets, have made travel arrangements, taken the day off work or whatever. Please know we are in agony thinking about the annoyance we have inadvertently caused you. We will be spending the month of May wishing we were in Australia, with nothing to do, as we counted on this tour happening. Someday, hopefully, we will have an opportunity to visit Australia, with more reliable and trustworthy tour arrangements. Our sincerest apologies everyone. This fucking blows.Adam + the folks in MBD

MBD AUSTRALIA/ TOUR DELAYED UNTIL MAY
NEW TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY 17th FEB FURTHER TICKETING DETAILS COMING SOON...
Due to scheduling and time constraints Jung Hearts will be moving the initial Murder By Death tour dates to May. Jung Hearts believe that these new date changes and some venue changes will contribute to a greater overall experience for punters planning on attending shows for this tour. Several new dates have also been added to the tour, allowing the band to visit more locations in Australia.
Murder By Death and Jung Hearts are excited to deliver this inaugural first ever tour to Australia in its new and improved format.
Please find new dates and venues below. Those who have already purchased tickets can retain their tickets as being valid for these new dates, with the exception of Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne where venues have changed. Those tickets purchased at venues that are no longer being used for the tour can get a refund at point of purchase and then re-purchase their tickets for the new shows.
Jung Hearts apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result of these changes. New ticketing information will be posted in the next few days, going on sale on Friday the 17th of Feb. Stay tuned.
Perth band ELEVENTH HE REACHES LONDON regretfully cannot perform on these new dates as main tour support, however all tour supports will be announced in the coming weeks with some great local talent scheduled to appear on stage with Murder By Death. We're very excited about the support band selection for these shows.
In the past two years, Murder By Death have released the critically lauded "Good Morning, Magpie" on the venerable Vagrant Records, added Scott Brackett from Okkervil River to their lineup and had a song featured in a trailer for Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglorious Basterds' and on the successful US drama television series 'Sons of Anarchy'.
Straddling the delicate border of Punk and Country without indulging in the cliches of either genre, their live reputation pegs them as both rabble-rousing and note-perfect, atmospheric as much as forceful and truly unmissable.
Murder By Death will begin their first tour to Australia this coming May.
'If you've never witnessed a show from MBD, this is one not to miss; the band paints a lush dark picture of the whiskey-soaked underbelly of American back roads. If Johnny Cash had spent some time collaborating with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the result may have been something like this.' - about.com
