Tours: First Murder By Death 2011 Dates

Dark country folkers Murder By Death have announced that as of February 1, 2011 they will be hitting the road for a two month tour throughout the US.  The tour comes in support of the band’s 2010 album, Good Morning, Magpie, released earlier this year on Vagrant Records.  Singer and guitarist Adam Turla explains the band’s mindset while approaching the tour:

“We’ve been holed up at home this winter and are itchin’ to hit the road… can’t wait to share in the drunken rock n’ roll revelry!”

The band will be finding support from bot Fake Problems and The Builders And Butchers.  Full tour listings can be found below.
