Old school Murder City Devils photo



After catching the Murder City Devils reunion show a few weeks ago I was a bit nostalgic for the band, playing their old records and remembering them in their prime. It prompted me to dig through some old photos and find this one my pal and longtime 10 Things and Tablet photographer Diona Mavis shot back in 1998 at The Velvet Elvis. This is by far my favorite photo of the band I've ever seen, it ran in 10 Things back in the day. What's funny is you can't see the face of either Spencer or Derek in it, but somehow it captures the emotion and energy that the band always brought live...

Actually that's Dann, not Derek. You can identify his tattoos and note the guitar.
