Trail of Dead to help venues and record stores

Posted in Bands on July 25, 2020

COVID-19 related closures have more or less ceased live music for much of 2020, cancelling and postponing tours and putting music venues and other related businesses at risk of permanent closure.

 …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead will give what they can back through three livestreams this summer, with each performance alloting donations to specific venues.

As the band explains:

For the July 31st livestream, Trail of Dead is donating 20% of ticket sales to the venues they played and were set to play in 2020. They’ve also created exclusive merchandise for the event that will become available that same day. For the August 14th livestream, 20% of proceeds are going toward select US independent record stores including all 34 in the Coalition of Independent Music Stores along with several AIMS stores, namely End Of An Ear in Austin, TX, Luna Music in Indianapolis, IN, Young Ones in Kutztown, PA and Daddy Kool in St. Petersburg, FL. A direct link for all three livestreams is here: www.trailofdead.com/livestream.

Each livestream will be one hour long and will feature fan-frequested setlists -- including songs rarely included in the group's live shows.

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead released their tenth studio album, X: The Godless Void and Other Stories, earlier this year.
