On Dia De Los Muertos the strains of murder, misery, death, and despair fill the air at the 12th ANNUAL STARRY PLOUGH MURDER BALLADS BASH. As unfortunate as it is, murder is a human tradition and songs have been written about it almost as long as it's been committed. Put on your best bones (or anything else you'd like to scare us with) and come hear this musical review of great local acts put their spin on that classic favorite, the murder ballad.
This year we bring you the tear-in-your-beer, knife-in-your-back, front porch twang of Loretta Lynch, psychedelic jamming from the Unreal Band, passionate (yet deadly) americana harmonies by Heartache Sisters, the eclectic ukulele-accordian-saw combo that is the Phantom Limbs, niceness gone bad with Chonk & the Ghostfiddler, the Rev Screaming Fingers and girl imps in Lucifer Meltdown, Mike Glendinning grunge-jazz, the Alegre Sisters doubling up on the ukuleles, the secret agenda of Pope Paul Pot, rockin' Rockzilla, and the street corner juke jive of Mugg Muggles.
Advance tickets are cheaper. It's murder out there.
