Dead To Me + Brendan Kelly

Dead To Me
San Francisco, 2018 – One thing that always seems positive in politically turbulent times is that great art and music is born from it. Like the Clash before them, Dead to Me are a band that find themselves at the intersection of these powerful human agencies. As one of Dead to Me’s biggest influences, The Clash found themselves a constant through the original “Make America Great Again” populism of the late seventies and eighties. Today, after being a staple of Northern California for over a decade, Dead to Me has found itself back in a rebirth of this same nationalist message. It seems as if everything has come full circle.

Brendan Kelly
Brendan Kelly has been voted “Best Twitter” by Chicago Reader, was a TV Host, is the guy behind Nihilist Arby’s, sings in The Lawrence Arms, works at The Onion, makes weird art… the list goes on. Now after a couple years crafting deviant songs he has something new for his cult to consume: a 10-song album called Keep Walkin’ Pal. He releases his “solo” material under the name Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds, but this is not some emo boy with a guitar or another “punk goes acoustic” outing, this is an artist collective like Wu-Tang Clan or Crass. It involves musicians, visual artists, studio nerds, and even a college film professor. We’re not sure how to describe this wild record (Space Rock? Chiptune?), but we know it’s a likable mix and a real departure from what you’re used to hearing from Brendan and this scene.
