Music fans might know Conrad Keely’s art through his band …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead without realizing Keely often designed and created the album artwork. Music isn’t where Keely’s creative endeavors end. The man is a gifted painter, working in a variety of mediums; oils, acrylics, pen and ink on paper, canvas and even wood surfaces. I sat down with Keely for a video interview and we discussed all aspects of his art and where it might head in the future.

Live music review: Bad Times for Bad Larry’s and Little Brother Bar Shows

Little Brother Bar on Rainey Street is an Oasis against the throngs of shitheals with popped collars and bad manners. It’s a tiny closet of a bar that brings big fun with strong drinks, a bartending crew full of characters, and of course, the beloved Bummer Burritos. But for the last year or so, the bar would partner up with the Bad Larry Burger crew and throw the best free shows in Austin that were the thing of legend. And then they were forced to stop.
