Los Angeles, CA A preacher s mouth and a rock n roll heart sometimes that s all it takes to make you move. The Murder City Devils never fail to stir these emotions in their audience; for the fans that need to feel it again, and for the fans that never have, the Devils are hitting the road for a week in February to deliver their powerful brand of sonic assault.

What makes the Devils rise above is that they understand rock n’ roll is about much more than a simple formula – it’s a lifestyle you naturally know or don’t. The music, the lyrics, the look, and the vibe all have to be in sync. You either have it or you don’t, and the Devils have a combination so few other bands in the genre possess – a gripping sound, a distinct message, a touch of the mysterious, and the know-how to give the fans exactly what they want.

After three full-length records and five years of relentless touring, the Murder City Devils called it quits on Halloween, 2001 at Seattle s Showbox. Yet the same force that powered their manic tour schedule never quite subsided, and the band celebrated its ten-year
anniversary by playing at the 2006 Capitol Hill Block Party and in 2007 at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, TX.

Continuing in this tradition, the Devils are hitting the road in February on a seven-date West Coast tour with stops in Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco, Pomona, and Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale December 12, 2008. More information can be found at
the all-new website www.themurdercitydevils.com.

Sub Pop Records, celebrating 20 years of business this year, will re-issue limited editions of all three MCD full-lengths (The Murder City Devils, Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts, and In Name and Blood) as well as the Thelema EP on high quality color vinyl February 17, 2009.
