Murder Mystery is an American indie rockband from Detroit, Michigan. The group started in the college town of Mount Pleasant, Michigan in 1999 [1] but moved to Detroit in 2003, attracted by the burgeoning music scene of that city . The group earned notoriety in a scene that was still largely dominated by garage rock and garnered airplay on college stations like WMUC and WDET.
Also denoted as college-rock,[2] the group signed with DetroitSounds Records[3] and released a self-titled EP in 2005.[4] Largely influenced by indie-rock bands Sleater-Kinney, Butterglory, and Built to Spill, the EP was released to positive reviews at home [5] and mixed reviews abroad.[6] Shortly after the release of the record the group split with DetroitSounds and recorded material for a documentary on Detroit pianist Bob Seeley while touring parts of the Midwest and the East Coast and recording material for a follow-up EP.[7]
The follow-up EP entitled, "Big Rocket Go Now" was released in 2007 at the Royal Oak Music Theater [8] in Royal Oak, MI. In 2009 the group signed to Workerbee Records [5], based in Ames, Iowa.
