Adult Swim, the late-night sister network of Cartoon Network which showcases animation and live action for adults, announced a 12-stop college tour beginning October 29 with two of the country's top rock acts, And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead… and Dethklok. All shows will be free for students and ticket information can be obtained at adultswimpresents.com.
And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.. is currently comprised of three core members: Conrad Keely, Jason Reece, and Kevin Allen. Formed by Keely and Reece in 1994, Trail of Dead has delivered 5 albums since, building a world wide fan base that is ever growing. The band's most recent effort, So Divided, is available at iTunes, Emusic (along with other online outlets) and in stores nationwide.
Created by Brendan Small and Tommy Blacha, Dethklok is the undisputed greatest animated metal band in the galaxy, and their hilarious crusades into metal darkness have been immortalized in Metalocalypse, the animated series featured on Adult Swim. Considering that this is an animated band I'm not quite sure how the shows are going to work; yet anyone who has ever seen the show will know that whatever is planned, it is sure to be hillarious.
