In 2010, the words Murder By Death and touring appeared in quite a few headlines together. It appears that will also be the case in 2011. In support of their latest releases, Good Morning, Magpie, the Bloomington, IN-based quartet has already mapped out plans for an early 2011 road trip, which will launch January 5th in the band’s hometown. The trek will feature 42 different stops across the U.S. before coming to a culmination on March 19th in another Bloomington, this time in Illinois.
Murder By Death won’t be alone, either. For most of February, the band will get to know The Builders and The Butchers, who will open until Fake Problems takes over, starting in Chicago, IL. The last leg of the tour will feature an as-yet-undetermined opener, so keep checking back for more information. For now, head on over to the Murder By Death Web site for details on how to get your hands on tickets for the dates below. All confirmed tour dates can be found below.
