Show Preview: The Murder City Devils – at The Observatory – Santa Ana, CA – December 22, 2012

If your looking for a way to bring your year to an end with a bang, look no more. The Murder City Devils have announced 3 All Ages, California dates (one of which sold out immediately). On December 20th and 21st they will be blowing minds at Slim's in San Francisco and the following day on the 22nd, they will be playing for a packed house at The Observatory in Santa Ana.

In 2010 MCD played a sold out show at The Fonda. Standing in line we met people that had traveled from all over to California and surrounding states to see them play. After a 5 year hiatus, I'm assuming fans thought it may be their last chance to catch them live, well there's that....and they are definitely road trip worthy.

Then in 2011 people were surprised to see them on the bill for the Hootenanny. Along with MCD's performance at this festival, came new fans and "hope" (as they included new songs in their set) that we would be seeing more of MCD in the years to come. 

Earlier this year The Murder City Devils released "Every Day I Rise b/w Ball Busters in the Peanut Gallery" on 7" vinyl and also in digital format available for download. Songs on this album include pre-MCD versions of Broken Glass, Officer, Tell You Brother, as well as other new songs. This is definitely something you want in you collection and for only 5 dollars you can pre-order your copy for HERE

This will prove to be one of the most anticipated tours to hit Cali this year. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet they are still available for both shows at Slim's in San Francisco, however, if you don't make a move your be left in the cold as these shows will absolutely sell out.
