…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

In February 2012, …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead performed live as a duo at Santos' Party House in NYC, which was a unique period in their career. Just prior to this performance, they released their album 'Tao of the Dead' in 2011, a record that marks their continued exploration of ambitious and complex sounds. Fans appreciated how the album blended heavy guitar riffs with introspective lyrics, showcasing their growth as artists. This live performance, featuring the track 'Fake Fake Eyes,' is significant because it reflects their stripped-down, raw sound as a duo, contrasting with the fuller arrangements of their previous works. Interestingly, this format allowed them to connect more intimately with the audience, underlining their reputation for energetic and engaging live shows.
