Murder By Death’s “Who Will Survive…” 20th Anniversary Tour Stop at Crescent Ballroom

Twenty very short years ago, indie stalwarts Murder By Death released their 2nd album “Who Will Survive, and What Will Become of Them?“. This summer, they are celebrating the album drop with a short tour, playing a series of intimate shows up and down the west coast. Bringing their brand of murder folk/indie rock to The Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix, Az, Murder by Death played a vast array of songs from across their entire discography, including songs not played live often paired with deep cuts off of “Who Will Survive…”. While they didn’t play the entire album at Crescent, there are a handful of shows where Murder By Death will be playing “Who Will Survive, and What Will Become of Them?” in full. Catch the photos below, and the entire set list at the end of the page. Murder by Death is currently on tour now.
