Called “Seattle’s most raucous rock band” by Tom Scanlon of the Seattle Times, the Murder City Devils first played together in 1997. Their sound was fringe rock leaning toward punk, including loud guitars from Dann Gallucci and Nate Manny, haunting keyboards from Leslie Hardy, formerly of Hole, and screaming vocals from Spencer Moody. After putting out three albums with Sub Pop Records, and a United States and Canadian tour that lasted the better part of a year, the band broke up in 2001. They have been performing sporadically over the past few years, and members of the band have gone on to play with Pretty Girls Make Graves, Modest Mouse, Melvins, and The Cave Singers. The Devils still bring it live, and will do exactly that at Mohawk on Saturday.
