The original line-up of ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead played at Santos Party House in NYC last night. Consisting only of principal songwriters Conrad Keely and Jason Reece, the down-sized duo ripped through classics like "Richter Scale Madness" off the band's self-titled debut from 1998. The new Trail of Dead record is due in January of 2009 on Justice records, which marks the band's return to an independent label after years of suffering at the hand of big bad Interscope.
