New album "Blue"

Mostly Other People Do the Killing will be releasing their next album, "Blue" on October 14!
We will be performing live on October 15 at Shapeshifter in Brooklyn with the 7-piece version of the band, and again November 9 at the Cornelia St Cafe with the quartet.  We will be performing new compositions by Moppa at both gigs.  Even though we're celebrating the release of "Blue", we won't be playing any of the music from that album live, for hopefully obvious reasons.
See you there!
