Artist Detailed Info: Murder Party

In spite of their parent's desires that they follow productive career paths, like becoming doctors, teachers or chimney sweepers, the members of Murder Party instead focused their unbound potential on becoming "awesome to rock" -and other adjectival substitutions for adverbs.

Hatched late 2005, after the fall of guitarist/lead singer Margaret Rasmussen's Vista Vista, Murder Party features spunky Susan Williams on bass, cool as ice Lino Fernandez on the skins, the dazzling Lisa White on keys and the charming Corey Bowl on guitar.

Imagine a tea party for crows, with The Jesus and Mary Chain playing on the boom-box and you can come close to Murder Party's sound. Their live credits include a rowdy, Christmas-sweater-wearing show with The Reformation and Portland's Night Mechanic at the Blue Moon; and with The Cave Singers and Cock and Swan at the Branchwater Conservatory. Much like a boy scout, Murder Party always comes prepared and awesome to rock.

It should be noted before Lisa and Corey joined Murder Party, that the always feisty Kevin Hayworth was on the skins and Lino was on guitar.

Murder Party (sans article) are not to be confused with The Murder Party (article inclusive) who are a Columbus, Ohio based no wave/ noise punk band formed in late 2009.
