self-titled - no. 3 - (Page 50) BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD TRAIL OF DEAD’s CONRAD KEELY shares the stories behind his first love: art. By ANDREW PARKS Photos by TRAVIS HUGGETT ccording to Conrad Keely’s long-held reputation (nearly 15 years and counting) as the frontman of And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, the guy takes great pleasure in smashing guitars and the faces of ill-behaved bandmates. Get to know him, though, and you’ll quickly realize two things: 1) he takes Trail of Dead very seriously—every line in his lyrics and every panel in their record packaging—and 2) that attention to detail comes from a childhood-borne love of recreating the fantastical storylines in his head. As it turns out, Keely is an artist, has been since the tender age of three when he first picked up a pencil and recreated the work of his 12-year-old cousin with relative ease. Contrary to popular belief, he’s not a pretentious one, either. Confident, maybe, but certainly not full of himself to a fault. In fact, Keely just got around to his first art opening this past fall. Intended as a one-nightonly exhibit of Keely’s intricate drawings (photographs by bassist Melissa Auf der Maur were also featured), the event attracted such curious onlookers as Islands frontman Nicholas Thorburn and Trail of Dead’s expublicist—the last lingering link to the band’s former label, Interscope. At the center of all the chin-scratching and winedrinking was a clear-eyed, steady-handed Keely, dressed in all-black attire like some kind of espresso-sipping bohemian—a far cry from the red-faced rock ‘n’ roll mess he becomes onstage.
