In January 2020, Austin’s …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead released its tenth album, X: The Godless Void And Other Stories, but like a lot in 2020, the album got gobbled up by the pandemic. Thankfully, Trail Of Dead bring the record’s epic punk rock to the Far Out Lounge on Saturday, November 27. The show is billed as a Fall Fest, celebrating live music and Trail Of Dead’s friends, including Garrett T. Capps’ San Antonio-style country, Think No Think’s high octane rock, and Lord Buffalo’s psychedelic folk rock.
This week on My KUTX, we’re rebroadcasting a guest DJ set from Trail Of Dead’s founding members Conrad Keely and Jason Reece. Mixing Sonic Youth’s roar and Kate Bush’s art-pop with newer inspirations like Lower Dens and Protomartyr, their playlist is a perfect encapsulation of Trail Of Dead’s unique aesthetic. Hear Trail Of Dead’s My KUTX on Saturday, November 20 at 6 p.m. or listen at any time in the player above.
