Recently, they sent a so-called “transmission” to Alternative Press to announce a show and the addition of two unspecified members of Pianos Become The Teeth.
It reads: “In January of 2009 United Nations played their first show at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. on inauguration day to usher in a new era of change. Now four years later the band are returning to the nation’s …

October 5th, 2012 Dan Bogosian Geoff Rickly (ex-Thursday), Zena Road (from Texas is the Reason), and Fred Mascherino‘s Terrible Things (ex-Taking Back Sunday, The Color Fred) have announced a house show tour of the northeastern US for November and early December.
House shows are becoming more common as labels, managers, and artists are exploring better ways to make money – and hosting acoustic and quieter shows in the privacy of a fan’s home is one of these ways. It’s actually been a staple of David Bazan & Undertow Management for years.
You could host a house show yourself by …

May 12th, 2012 Tyler Osborne Geoff Rickly (Ex-Thursday… man that’s weird write ex-Thursday) recently played a solo show in Philadelphia, and the venue was courteous enough to record arguably one of their best tracks, “Understanding in a Car Crash” on video! The band recently called it a day, but the lead singer has been playing solo shows here and there for fans.
Geoff sounds as good as ever, and while the video is fantastic, it breaks our hearts at UTG to see him play like this because Thursday was such a monumental band for not only the punk scene but the site as well.
