[POSTPONED: May 1, 2020] …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead / Warish / Greenbeard [moved to July 13]
I really enjoyed …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead’s first few albums back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Then I lost touch with them. I feel like they changed style, but I’m not sure that’s true.
The one thing that was always true was that a Trail of Dead show was a can’t miss, combustible experience.
It’s about fifteen years and six albums later and when I saw they were playing nearby, I thought it would be fun to finally see them. I read a review of a recent show in which the reviewer said that they weren’t as intense live as in the old days (without major label support, they could no longer afford to smash up guitars), but that they (meaning Conrad Keely and Jason Reece, the only two original guys) still impress with their intensity.
I’d never heard of Warish, but how’s this for a bio blurb:
Imagine if Incesticide era Nirvana were crossed with Static Age era Misfits. You’d have sinister low budget horror rock with a visceral, twisted weirdness and bludgeoning riffs. Some might call it nightmarish, we call it Warish.
I listened to a track on bandcamp and their music is great, but their singer is a little too much like Marilyn Manson. I’ll bet they’d be fun live though.
Greenbeard sounds like a little more fun
Desert rock from the sun stricken soil of Austin, TX. Greenbeard brings prolific vibrations to the universe via drums, bass, and guitar.
The fact that they have an album called Lödarödböl makes me like them immediately. They have a good stoner vibe too.
