Jason Reece

Drummer and co-front man of …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead with long time friend and collaborator Conrad Keeley. Reece was born in Huntington Beach, CA on July 13th, 1971. He met Keely in Oahu, Hawaii and they relocated to Olympia, Washington together so Keely could attend college. A few failed projects and another cross country move saw them in Austin, Texas where they officially branded themselves as Trail of Dead in 1994. They still actively tour according to his twitter page.

Reece was also a member of synthpop band A Roman Scandal from 1999-2001 that was described {in a 2001 interview} by Jason himself as “a chemical dependency group” that was mainly a response to the members being kicked out of art school, and introduced the album as being “like your mother giving birth to Brian Eno.” Regrettably they are now defunct.
