Brendan Kelly is the bassist/vocalist of Chicago-based punk band The Lawrence Arms, who have released seven albums and toured extensively. Their latest release was Skeleton Coast on Epitaph Records in 2020.
He is also the guitarist/lead vocalist in punk supergroup The Falcon and in Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds. Kelly's former bands include Slapstick (1993-96) and The Broadways (1996-98).
Kelly provided backup vocals for the songs "The Company," "Stuck in Summertime," and "Unsatisfied" on The Copyrights' third full-length album, 2007's Make Sound, released on Red Scare Industries, a label owned and operated by Tobias Jeg, a close friend of Kelly. Kelly (along with Chris McCaughan, co-vocalist of The Lawrence Arms) also provided back-up vocals on Common Rider's This is Unity Music album. Kelly also provided guest vocals on the Alkaline Trio song "I Wanna Be A Warhol" on their 2013 release My Shame Is True.
In 2010, Kelly released a split album with Joe McMahon of punk rock band Smoke or Fire, entitled Wasted Potential. Kelly's half of the split contained acoustic versions of Lawrence Arms songs (both his and McCaughan), as well as a cover of "Kiss the Bottle" by Jawbreaker.
In 2011, Kelly released a three-song EP, A Man with the Passion of Tennessee Williams, with then-new band the Wandering Birds. A full length, I'd Rather Die Than Live Forever, followed in 2012, and a second album in 2018, all on the Red Scare label. The Wandering Birds are generally darker in tone than Kelly's earlier musical output. He also created a short film, The Spirit of Transparency, to promote the project.
Brendan maintains a blog on Substack called Bad Sandwich Chronicles Beyond Thunderdome. The blog is a mixture of scatological humor, social commentary, and stories of life in music. He also has a humorous Twitter account called Nihilist Arby's.
