UTG PHOTOS: Twenty One Pilots & New Politics (4/26/13)

Under The Gun’s photographer, Tori Thomas attended the Twenty One Pilots show featuring New Politics and Five Knives at the LC Pavilion in Columbus, OH on April 26, 2013.

I arrived to this show expecting nothing but surprises, especially with this being a hometown show for Twenty One Pilots. First in the lineup was Five Knives, however I was unable to make it in time to see their set. Judging from a previous show I saw them at opening for TOP, I’m sure they set the mood for the evening with a flawless performance.

Next up was New Politics

WATCH: The Flaming Lips Perform on Fallon

The Flaming Lips made an appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night.

The band performed “Try To Explain” from their 2013 release, The Terror, as well as their rendition of David Bowie’s “Heroes.”

According to Pitchfork, Wayne Coyne’s performance rendered him “almost-nude, his modesty concealed by an array of glowing tentacular wires.” Later in the night, Coyne found himself fully clothed playing Pictionary with Fallon, Demi Lovato and Julie Bowen.

Glossary

WATCH: Glossary – “Bruised Ribs” (Live)

Suddenly my new favorite band, Tennessee’s Glossary performed live in Austin, Texas at the Cathedral of Junk for Altar TV.

Altar TV calls Glossary “a band from Tennessee who take Southern styles to indie-rock places.”

The song the band decided to perform, “Bruised Ribs”, is actually a track off of Glossary vocalist Joey Kneiser’s solo record, The All Night Bedroom Revival. That album and more from Glossary are available to download for free on the band’s website.
