Murder by Death, formerly known as Little Joe Gould, is a four-piece rock band from Bloomington, IN. Their name comes from Robert Moore's 1976 movie of the same name (See Murder by Death).

For example, their song Those Who Left, from their first full length album Like the Exorcist but More Breakdancing, is an eight minute instrumental, often played live in total darkness. Many songs use seemingly lighthearted themes, such as zombies, but are crafted in a way that the songs remain macabre and mysterious.
