| Seemingly on their way to an At the Drive-In-style breakout, Seattle rockists
Murder City Devils followed ATDI's lead and split into two camps. MCD bassist
Derek Fudesco took off to form Pretty Girls Make Graves; the rest of the band
recruited Northwest avant-metal warhorse Mike Kunka (Enemymine, Godheadsilo)
and formed Dead Low Tide. The only evidence yet extant, a couple of MP3s
floating around the Web, suggests that DLT have hung on to most of the Devils'
dark and larcenous style points and added -- well, duh -- a walloping,
ominous low end. See for yourself on Sunday at the Met Café
(401-272-5876) in Providence and on Monday at the Middle East (617-864-EAST) in
Cambridge; for the latter show, they're joined by Quintaine Americana
and, marking the release of their debut disc, The Sky Is Falling
(Bridge Nine), Sinners and Saints. |
