Indiana-based alt-rock quartet Murder by Death is currently touring the US with Fake Problems and Buried Beds. During the month of February, the band was joined by The Builders & The Butchers and Damion Suomi & The Minor Prophets. And on April 4 of last year, Murder by Death released its fifth full-length album, Good Morning, Magpie, on Vagrant Records.
In a recent tour stop at the packed Subterranean in Chicago, cellist Sarah Balliet, clad in genre-appropriate Western wear, infused the band’s freewheeling rock with a shot of electro-country, while vocalist Adam Turla sang songs about zombies, whiskey, and the devil. Photographer Wallo Villacorta was on the scene to capture the action.
