about

WHITE MURDER made their first stab at a beer-soaked show in San Pedro last June, where slashing Siamese twin singers Hannah Blumenfeld and Mary Animal ended their blurry set by taking themselves out in a trash can.

The term supergroup is always met with suspicious eyes, but the line-up of WM is a legitimate SoCal punk/rock collection of heads – Hannah Blumenfeld (of L.A. mutant croon leaders Jail Weddings), Mary Animal and Reuben Kaiban (both of Long Beach mod/soul combo The Commotions), Mike D’Amico (distinctive low end of such acts as Neon King Kong and Cleveland’s This Moment In Black History), and Paul Gonzalez (frontman of Death Hymn Number 9 and Red Onions, now keeping time behind the traps!) have come together to prove this is more than a mere “side project” of their better known bands. The band created instant whispers, screams, and everything in-between down the local gossip grapevine, largely due to Hannah and Mary’s writhing, confrontational and yes, sometimes exhibitionist performances. It was not a rarity to see these two lovelies in some insane sexual death grip of each other, pretzeled in subhuman dexterity in complete disregard for Newton’s Law and the flawed protection of women’s undergarments, all while somehow singing in perfect venomous unison. Pitted against the rest of the band who seemed to have a collective lurching,
