We are happy to announce that we have added an additional show to the July East Coast tour.  On Sunday July 18th, we will be playing in Brooklyn, NY at the JellyNYC Pool Party on the Williamsburg Waterfront.  The show is free, and should be a great time, and a lot warmer than the last time we were in New York.

Other bands on the bill with us are Obits, Jeff the Brotherhood, and Silverghost.

It’s Burrito Night In Sam’s Kitchen And The Murder City Devils Make Their Television Debut

The new IFC Original Series DINNER WITH THE BAND is the first cooking show to combine culinary delights, musical performances and conversations with select acclaimed indie music artists. DINNER WITH THE BAND debuts April 27 at 10:30 pm ET/PT in IFC’s Tuesday night AUTOMAT programming block, following two new back-to-back 15-minute episodes of FOOD PARTY.

In each of the 30-minute episodes, celebrated NYC rock-n-roll chef Sam Mason (Tailor, WD-50), invites a band over to his Brooklyn loft where he teaches them how to add his signature culinary spin to their favorite “on-tour” food. Throughout the show, Chef Mason and the artists converse on food, music and life while cooking together. After they “chow down” they “get down” as each act takes to the loft’s living room to play a rockin’ musical set.

On June 8, DINNER WITH THE BAND will feature special guest band The Murder City Devils. The loft will be loud when the garage punk band stops by to play and eat. Sam has created a menu inspired by the burrito joint where the band’s members used to work to support their music.

On the menu: Midnight Burritos (Burritos with chorizo, refried lentils green cilantro Rice and watercress salsa verde) with a side of Salsa of Fire (tomato and raspberry salsa) to dress Sam’s homemade tortilla chips.

In between cooking, eating and drinking the Aqua Verde (Sam’s Tomatillo-based Bloody Mary), The Murder City Devils rock the loft with “18 Wheels” and “I Drink the Wine.”

The East Coast tour dates have been announced, and three of the shows are onsale now. You can find all the details over on the tour dates section.

Hey everyone.

It is always great to see the photos that you all take, and see some videos up on YouTube.

For tonight’s two shows in PHILADELPHIA please feel free to bring your cameras. We have spoken to the venue and you will be allowed to bring any kind of equipment in. This is of course within reason, we don’t want to impose your equipment on other people, and crowd safety will dictate if you are being ridiculous.

We also want the party to go all night in Philadelphia, figure NYC got Dinner with the Band, so if you come to the first show, TLA will sell you a ticket at the door for the second show for $15.

For tomorrow’s show in NEW YORK you can bring in anything you want, expect VIDEO EQUIPMENT.  This is a union rule, and has nothing to do with us.  You will be able to bring any still cameras or audio recording equipment.

As with the shows last month we are working with the venues to ensure that for the three upcoming shows you will be able to bring any kind of camera or recording device, within reason into the shows. It is always great to see the photos that people in the crowd take. As we get confirmation we will make sure to put up any restrictions, etc. here. So please check back closer to Feb 12th and 13th.
