Murder By Death is hitting the road for the next few months. You don’t say? I don’t know how these guys have retained any semblance of sanity with as much touring as they’ve got under their belts. In addition to tour news, though, the band is starting a new 7″ series, whereby Murder by Death will cover other artists who will return the favor on the flip side. First up is a split 7″ with William Elliott Whitmore, who toured with the band back in 2005. A tour in support of a 7″? Damn. If MBD isn’t hitting your town this time, you can pre-order the 7″ beginning September 15th at murderbydeath.com (a limited pressing of which will feature artwork by Drew James, who designed the Who Will Survive cover art).

Oooh. I love these guys, and I love WEW. I’m going to try to hit that Ottobar show. I’ve seen both before supporting Clutch, and they never fail to amaze. Thanks for the heads up.
