Trail of Dead to perform in NYC as a duo (the original lineup)
Keely and Reece have been friends since their youth, meeting originally in Hawaii. They each formed their first band in 1993, soon after moving to Olympia, Washington, where Keely studied at The Evergreen State College. Keely started a band called Benedict Gehlen that only lasted a year. Nancyville was Keely's next project, though it also was short-lived. Reece played drums with Honeybucket and then queercore band Mukilteo Fairies while living in Olympia. The two moved to Austin, Texas and started playing as a duo under the moniker, You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. The band expanded to include guitarist Kevin Allen and bassist Neil Busch. They then officially lengthened their name to ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Conrad's girlfriend from Olympia, Deanne Rowley (now Deanne McAdams), of Plain Jane, Pro-Ex Marauders, and currently Leopards (and occasionally Dead Air Fresheners), briefly played with them as a back-up guitarist, but never appeared on any recordings. The band is frequently known by abbreviated versions of its name, such as 'Trail of Dead'. [Wikipedia]"And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead return to late-1990s lineup [just the two of them] for one show only w/ Shock Cinema, and DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin (New York Night Train) at DECLASSIFIED party, Santos' Party House (100 Lafayette, Chinatown, NYC), Monday August 25, 10pm - 4am, $10"
Trail of Dead (all of them) are also playing Fun Fun Fun Fest & ATP NY

does anyone remember when they were actually good? Instead of these fat slobs who bitch about not selling any records and blaming it on their label, all the while writing shit songs and giving half-assed live performances. Ahh, those were the days!

if they re-hired neil and fired all the extra drummers and gospel singers, they would still probably suck. this train has left the station.
i still think jason reese has good songs in him, but he needs to lose 20 pounds and ditch keely.

why does jason need to lose 20 pounds to rule? unless you're gay and trying to get all up in his shit, does his weight matter?
conrad is just pretentious anymore, and should try to make an art career instead of just adding string sections and extra musicians to songs that stink in the first place.
they used to be one of the best bands in the world, f'reals.

Agreed. Early Trail of Dead was one of the most exciting bands out there. This will rule!
