Murder Mystery hit the road next week, play 40 Watt 1/21

Looking for some shows before the big spring tours? New York's Murder Mystery may be just the thing. Armed with infectious hooks and a sound seemingly inspired by the Velvets, Television, and '80s synth pop they're an act on the rise. A little derivative? Maybe. Fun? Yep. They released their Are You Ready for the Heartache Cause Here It Comes back in August, and it's available from Insound.
