R.I.P.
Following Keyboardist Leslie Hardy's mid-tour departure and bassist Derek  Fudesco's announcement that he too would be seeking other interests (in  Pretty Girls Make Graves), guitarist Nate Manny and Dann Gallucci, drummer  Coady Willis and singer Spencer Moody realized the time had come to call it  quits, and that the final show of their tour, played on October 31, 2001 in  their home town of Seattle, would be their last. This spirited recording  captures the Murder City Devils celebrating an emotional end as they pay  tribute to the dedicated fan base that supported them from their raw, yet  explosibe 1997 debut on the Die Young Stay Pretty label to their three  subsequent Sub Pop releases - Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts, In Name and  Blood, and Thelema. The Devils went out in a blaze of musical commotion and  drunken glory; no true fan would have expected them to do otherwise.
