Murder, My Sweet began in late 2005 as the product of an unlikely writing collaboration between Mark Younger-Smith and the beat poet Joseph King.

His experience with recording acts Dexter Freebish and Canvas established him in Austin as one of the premiere drummers on the scene. .. We would be remiss without thanking our good friends Terry Bozzio and Keith Robinson for their amazing work in the studio and live environment. Response to Murder, My Sweet's first live performances have been nothing short of awestruck, wide-eyed disbelief. The power and depth of the music coupled with the intense charisma of the band promise a dynamic, theatrical experience for audiences. .. Stay tuned....... ..
