On December 30th 2009, at the end of The Murder City Devils set at the Showbox in Seattle, keyboardist Leslie Hardy thanked the crowd for their support and hinted towards The Devils releasing new material in the future. Now, you can read basically the same thing on The Devils Wikipedia page. What that page also tells you is that they debuted a new song that night: “7 Sins.” Except they didn’t: they played an extended cover version of The Birthday Party’s classic “Several Sins.” Seeing as how about half of The Birthday Party is dead as of last year (R.I.P. Rowland S. Howard,) I never thought I’d ever hear any Birthday Party material live in my life. Obviously, Spencer Moody isn’t Nick Cave and neither Nate Manny nor Dann Gallucci can truly replicate S. Howard’s signature guitar sound, but it was still a really fun way to end the evening. New material from The Devils would be most welcome considering the band doesn’t seem to have lost any of its spark since they broke up and subsequently re-formed, but at this point this is all speculation. In the meantime, here are some links and a photo:
