A quick note from the Portland airport to let you all know we posted day one of the Murder City Devils video last night. I’ve been getting a ton of footage every day, looking forward to editing more of these and posting soon. The shows have been amazing, I can’t wait to mine the footage to see how well I captured the energy and vibe.
Check out day one here:

So I am sitting in my hotel room in Seattle, preparing to hit the road with one of my favorite bands, The Murder City Devils. Anybody that pays attention to any of my social network profiles (like twitter) know that I have been talking about this band like mad for the past two months. Part of that is because I built their website and am managing the online marketing campaign surrounding the tour and re-issues; the other part is that this band freaking rules and if you are unfamiliar you may want to check them out. Highly recommended if you are into bands ranging from The Dead Boys to Zeke, from At The Drive In to the Misfits.. They were primarily in existence from 1996 – 2001, and have played a handful of shows since.
Until now. Tomorrow starts a 9 show / 8 date west coast tour. And I am going along with the band.
Starting Thursday, be sure to check out http://www.themurdercitydevils.com every day for a blog entry and video update showing video from the road, each show, behind the scenes, and assorted mayhem. I am basically traveling with the band, video camera in hand. As a fan of the band, this is an amazing opportunity, and as a new media marketing guy this is an excellent way to use my skills. Win-win situation.
