Brothers Grim & The Blue Murders 2013 Australian Tour

Brothers Grim And The Blue Murders know who their friends are. As they announce the first run of dates for their ‘Well Hung Well Used’ tour the debauched bluesmen are also liberating a single from their upcoming EP Roll It In.

Entitled ‘Been A While’ the song celebrates the friends and venues who have helped – and continue to support – The Brothers’ along the touring highway. Ruminating on the highs and lows of touring life, before admitting they wouldn’t change a thing, ‘Been A While’ is a filthy, torn, love letter to the cramped bandrooms, creaky stages, wobbly mic stands and rock’n’roll-hearted venues that have propelled Brother Grim And The Blue Murders’ delivery of smoking music and rampant performances into the radiant, disbelieving faces of sweaty fans Australia-wide.

It’s been a long, well-trodden road since 2007 when Brothers Grim and The Blue Murders were first established by James and Matt (Guitarist To Look Out For In 2011 – Australia Guitar Player Magazine) Grim.

Writing slide-infused songs inspired by the blues music they grew up listening to but delivering it with the possession and abandonment of the rock music that inspired their youth, Brothers Grim are backed by the always-impressive drumming of Stephen Devlin and newest member Dominic Lindus (on double bass attack).

With the recruitment of Dom, their live shows are more gripping than ever: the Brother’s unique morphing of the delta-blues finger-styling’s of Bukka White delivered with the boogie of Gene Vincent, the bloodlust of Rose Tattoo and the spectacle of Iggy Pop plus five years of electrifying, lustful and often humorous live performances have fashioned this foursome into a well-loved group that never disappoints.
