Despite the short time that My Darling Murder was together, the experience and great talents of the band members truly made it one of the best bands ever. This is no exaggeration, as I have been to over 230 concerts now and also have enough experience musically to know the difference between a good and bad band. My best friend Brianne and I regularly sigh and lament over such a perfect alliance of talent going to waste… It’s fortunate that the guys are still in other great bands and contributing their quality to the musical world…

I met Elias first through Myspace and then at their studio to grab a CD from him in early 2005. These were the early stages of My Darling Murder. I believe that I am one of their oldest and truest fans.

I tried very hard to look through my photos, posters, fliers, archives to get everything I could. Hopefully my dates are correct and I didn’t miss anything. Regardless, here it all is:

The NIN cover track is one of my personal favorites and it was an amazing song to rock out to live!
