Gabe Kerbrat was their permanent roadie, and was considered a member. Within a year, the band had released two singles, ''Three Natural Sixes'' (Hopscotch Records #5) and ''Dance Hall Music'' (Empty Records MTR-354), and signed with the Die Young Stay Pretty label, a subsidiary of Sub Pop. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1997. In 1998, the band released ''Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts,'' its second full-length album. This release saw a greatly increased use of electric organ, and in the same year they recruited Leslie Hardy as their full-time keyboard player. Hardy had previously played bass guitar for Hole on the 1993 single "Beautiful Son." The Murder City Devils then embarked on a year-long tour of North America to support the record. During that tour, they played with At the Drive-In, Pearl Jam, The Black Halos, and Built to Spill. After a short break, the band released ''In Name and Blood'' in 2000, with photos in the liner notes notoriously depicting every member as a murder victim. They also appeared as both individual actors as well as a band in David Larson's independent film ''The Edge of Quarrel''. The band released the ''Thelema EP'' in 2001 before breaking up later that year due to circumstances surrounding Hardy's departure from the band. (''The Stranger'' Sept 27 – Oct 3, 2001 issue, ''It's My Party'' column by Kathleen Wilson) The band's concert on Halloween 2001 was recorded and released by Sub Pop in 2003, titled ''''R.I.P.'''' and included two previously unrecorded songs. It was also released on DVD in 2005. In 2006 the band announced they were playing a July show in Seattle with all original members. The band performed on July 29 at the Capitol Hill Block Party closing the two day music festival on Saturday night. The day following the Block Party performance the band played a show with The Blood Brothers at The Showbox in downtown Seattle, the same venue where "R.I.P." was recorded. The show was not announced until the end of their set at the Block Party. The next show was at The Fun Fun Fun Fest, on November 3–4, 2007 in Austin, Texas.〔("Official Fun Fun Fun Fest lineup announced." ) Punknews.org.
