Brand New Line Up Shows Around Riot Fest

May 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

Seeing Brand New live has become the musical equivalent to finding a golden ticket in your Wonka bar. It is anyone’s guess when or where they will play next, and it’s rare any announcement outside of major festivals happens more than a few weeks in advance. Lucky for fans in the midwest, this is not the case today.

Starting at noon today, UTG has learned that Brand New will be announcing a handful of shows around their scheduled September appearance at Riot Fest in Chicago. PropertyOfZack already located one gig in upstate New York, and we can tell you exclusively …

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

May 16th, 2013 Tori Thomas

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…

Lauryn Hill 2013

Lauryn Hill Is Doing A Show In Brooklyn, Then Going To Jail

May 11th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Lauryn Hill has some strange career moves. The singer deliberately signed to Sony and released a single in an effort to make money to pay off debt and stay out of jail. She paid it off, but she is going to jail anyway.

Hill is slated to go to prison on July 8, so what is she doing with her final month? Doing one live show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York. Tickets went on sale today; they are available here for a hefty price. According to her Twitter, the reason she’s doing a …

The Vans Warped Tour recently gave the final announcement of ten bands for 2013 (which included personal favorites The Aquabats and Driver Friendly), and now they’ve given away the last pieces of the puzzle.

You can see the tour routing after the jump; tickets are available here. We’ll be aiming to have several of our writers at several dates and will keep you updated on the latest news every …

The duo were recently labeled by the channel as one of 2013′s “Artists To Watch”, which is quite an honor considering the plethora of artists who have been given similar nods in the past.

Paul McCartney Performs With Nirvana Members At Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concert, Records Song For Grohl’s ‘Sound City’ Documentary

December 13th, 2012 Brian Lion

Take a second to absorb that lengthy headline. It’s a lot to think about.

Featuring artists like the “Piano Man” Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Chris Martin of Coldplay with Michael Stipe of REM, Wednesday’s 12/12/12 Concert For Sandy Relief was a massive success which not only resulted in a ton of money raised from donations toward relief efforts but more complaints about Kanye West’s attire than Hurricane Sandy itself. As you can see from the link, he wore some form of leather skirt which matched his performance in atrocity value.

Anyway, early yesterday, we …

Passion Pit

UTG PHOTOS: Passion Pit (11/2/12)

November 28th, 2012 Tori Thomas

Under the Gun’s photographer, Tori Thomas attended the Passion Pit, Youngblood Hawke, & Hollerado show at the Royal Oak Music Theatre on November 2, 2012.

I arrived to this sold out show expecting to hear new music, new bands, and a great live performance; I received all that and more! The first band was Hollerado, which I’ve never heard of, nor their music, but I really enjoyed it. It’s hard to pin point a similar band, but I would compare them to Vampire Weekend. If you are looking for a new artist to get into, look into Hollerado! …

Mitch Winehouse Planning Tribute Show For Amy

November 21st, 2012 Grant Trimboli

Mitch Winehouse is planning a tribute show for his late daughter Amy in 2014, according to BBC. Amy Winehouse was found dead at her home in Camden, north London in July of last year.

There is no word of who will be contributing but expect a huge turn-out of stars and artists. Mitch stated that, “14 September 2014 at the Roundhouse in Camden Town, we’ll be unveiling Amy’s statue. [It] will be accompanied by a concert. So far, the support from stars has been incredible. We want to make it like a Live Aid-type concert where we get maybe …

UTG PHOTOS: The Hush Sound & JJAMZ (10/26/12)

November 1st, 2012 Tori Thomas

Under The Gun’s photographer, Tori Thomas attended The Hush Sound & JJAMZ show at House Of Blues in Chicago, IL on October 26.

I arrived to The Hush Sound & JJAMZ show more stoked than ever. The Hush Sound was one of my favorite bands and I love JJAMZ’s music. JJAMZ was actually second on the bill (I missed the first band), but put on a great show. I’ve listened to them since Alex Greenwald talked about starting this band after Phantom Planet went on hiatus. They were awesome live, and I will definitely see them again. Then it was …

Three Dead Following Steve Aoki Halloween Concert

November 1st, 2012 Grant Trimboli

Three people were found dead after a huge Halloween concert in Madrid featuring Steve Aoki. The Spanish newspaper El Pais has confirmed that three women were apparently crushed in the middle of a 20,000 person crowd during the set.

The venue in Madrid was said to have a capacity of 12,000 but one report states that an estimated 20,000 were crammed into the venue, creating havoc and claustrophobia. During the set a sense of chaos erupted when flares were let off inside the venue. While trying to push theselves to safety many became too exhausted and started collapsing.

Our thoughts …
