Several weeks back, those of us brave enough to venture to Brooklyn's
Music Hall of Williamsburg witnessed a kinetic kind of performance from the 6-piece progressive monster of an outfit,
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead; one that sent an undeniable synergy buzzing 'bout the building the moment the band walked on stage.
We were lucky enough to film the performance that night for the site. Check in with us this Tuesday as we premier that concert in full. We also grabbed a little time with one
Conrad Keeley; ringmaster for this hard rock circus act. Discussing the band's impressive new album
The Century of Self, Keeley touched on his grand ideas of storytelling, expanding rock and roll's tradition, and the persona he felt he had to fall in to complete his mission. -
