...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

Keely and Reece have been friends since their youth, and originally in Hawaii. They each formed their first bands in Olympia, Washington, where Keely studied at The Evergreen State College. Keely, a songwriter and bassist named James Olsen and a guitarist (Paul Westmoreland) started a band in the early 1990s. The band was called varied things before settling on "Benedict Gehlen" (named after a monk laid to rest in the St. Martin's Abby in Olympia). That went on in various names and forms until 1993. Soon after, Keely became involved in a group called Nancyville, while Reece went on to play drums with Honeybucket and then queercore band Mukilteo Fairies (the name is a play on words, referencing the ferry boat that travels between Mukilteo and Clinton, Washington). Eventually, Keely and Reece moved to Austin, Texas. The two started playing as a duo under the moniker "You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead." The band expanded eventually to include guitarist Kevin Allen and bassist Neil Busch. They then officially lengthened their name to ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Keely's girlfriend from Olympia, Deanne Rowley (later Deanne McAdams), briefly played with them[http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/theolympian/obituary.aspx?n=deanne-rowley-mcadams&pid=153018206 Deanne Rowley McAdams] (obituary), The Olympian, August 9, 2011.

According to the band's website, their name is taken from an ancient Mayan ritual chant which showed a similarity to an ancient Egyptian chant.{{cite web|url=http://trailofdead.com/why/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050930200939/http://trailofdead.com/why/ |archive-date=September 30, 2005 |title=And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead // Why is the Trail of Dead? |url-status=usurped |access-date=September 22, 2010}} They have also stated that this is a joke.{{cite web |url=http://www.openingbands.com/printerfriendly.race?ID=629 |title=Trail of Dead - Interview with Conrad Keely |work=openingbands.com |access-date=February 23, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090418001114/http://www.openingbands.com/printerfriendly.race?ID=629 |archive-date=April 18, 2009 |url-status=dead |df=mdy }}

In 1995, Trail of Dead issued their first release, a song titled "Novena Without Faith" on a cassette-only compilation titled Austin Live Houses, followed by another self-titled four-song cassette on Golden Hour.{{cite web|author=Golden Hour Records |url=http://www.goldenhourrecords.com/past-releases/ |title=Past Releases-Ye Olde Defunct Catalogue – Golden Hour Records |publisher=Goldenhourrecords.com |date= May 20, 1998|accessdate=2022-05-28}} In January 1998, they released a self-titled full-length on Trance Syndicate.

Trail of Dead soon joined Merge Records after the Trance Syndicate label folded. The band released Madonna on Merge in late 1999 and toured the U.S., opening for labelmates Superchunk to promote it. They signed to Interscope Records and released the Relative Ways EP in 2001.

In early 2002, Trail of Dead released Source Tags & Codes, which received wide acclaim, including a 10/10 rating from Pitchfork Media,{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/andyouwillknowusbythetrailofdead/sourcetagsandcodes?q=trail%20of%20dead |title=And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead: Source Tags & Codes (2002): Reviews |work=Metacritic.com |date=February 26, 2002 |access-date=February 23, 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090215015529/http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/andyouwillknowusbythetrailofdead/sourcetagsandcodes?q=trail%20of%20dead| archive-date= February 15, 2009}} later saying it is "one of indie rock's truly epic albums".{{cite web|url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/14945/And_You_Will_Know_Us_By_the_Trail_of_Dead_Worlds_Apart |title=Worlds Apart {{pipe}} Pitchfork |work=Pitchforkmedia.com |access-date=February 23, 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070520144951/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/14945/And_You_Will_Know_Us_By_the_Trail_of_Dead_Worlds_Apart| archive-date= May 20, 2007}} Their following tour was chronicled by Rolling Stone, with Andrew Dansby commenting on their group dynamic as a "post-punk Voltron, that just might be the most exciting unit working today."{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/andyouwillknowusbythetrailofdead/articles/story/5933696/trail_of_dead_bring_codes_to_ny |title=Trail of Dead Bring "Codes" to NY: ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=March 13, 2002 |access-date=March 4, 2009|url-status=dead | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090306161306/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/andyouwillknowusbythetrailofdead/articles/story/5933696/trail_of_dead_bring_codes_to_ny| archive-date= March 6, 2009}}

A follow-up EP to Source Tags & Codes was released in April 2003, titled The Secret of Elena's Tomb. The EP contained the electronic track "Intelligence" which featured and was co-written by Tyler Jacobson from A Roman Scandal, Reece's other band.

In July 2004, it was announced that Neil Busch had been removed from the band and Danny Wood would be taking his place on bass. Second drummer/percussionist Doni Schroader also joined the band around this time. Trail of Dead released Worlds Apart on January 25, 2005.{{cite web|last=Montgomery |first=James |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1492736/20041019/trail_of_dead.jhtml |title=Trail of Dead Album Postponed Until January - News Story {{pipe}} Music, Celebrity, Artist News {{pipe}} MTV News |work=Mtv.com |date=October 19, 2004 |access-date=February 23, 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090215010931/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1492736/20041019/trail_of_dead.jhtml| archive-date= February 15, 2009}} Music videos were filmed for singles "And the Rest Will Follow" and "Caterwaul". The band also added live keyboardist David Longoria to their touring lineup. Now a six-piece, the band toured heavily on the album, with its trademark explosive live performances and a two-drummer attack. Opening for part of this tour was Longoria's band The Black, which featured Longoria on vocals and guitarist Alan Schaefer, with the rest of TOD filling out the group. The band's fifth album, So Divided, was released on November 14, 2006. Clay Morris replaced Longoria as live keyboardist, and eventually became a full-time member.

On April 26, 2005, their song "Will You Smile Again For Me" was featured at the conclusion of The Shield's 7th episode of their 4th season, "Hurt".{{cite web | url=https://www.tunefind.com/show/the-shield/season-4/18265 | title=Music from the Shield S4E07 }}

He would eventually be replaced by Jay Leo Phillips. The band provided the soundtrack to the 2007 film Hell on Wheels, a documentary about the formation of Roller Derby in Austin, Texas.
