UTG Premiere: Wormburner – “Holland, 1945” (Neutral Milk Hotel Cover)

As far as influential indie bands are concerned, Neutral Milk Hotel are often compared to any deity people view as untouchable. It’s as if their music is considered so great that the sheer thought of someone wanting to make it their own becomes sickening. This idea has never made sense to us at UTG, as […]

For our overseas readers, the time has come: Barcelona’s annual festival Primavera Sound has announced its lineup. The three-day festival, taking place May 29 – 31 right by the beach (sigh), revealed its lineup in a short film. Once again, it’s a dream, with Neutral Milk Hotel, Pixies, and Arcade Fire headlining.

See Neutral Milk Hotel’s First Setlist in 15 Years

Music aficionados around the world couldn’t contain their excitement when Neutral Milk Hotel announced a reunion tour back in April. Their lo-fi, indie rockness only existed between 1989 to 1999, but generations have passed along their material with care and love as if it were a part of their own family history.

Neutral Milk Hotel Tour To Be Full International Tour Through 2014

HOLY SH!T: Neutral Milk Hotel Reunite For Brief Tour

Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) Extends Solo Tour, Will Continue Touring

When Jeff Mangum first announced his 2013 tour, it was widely thought to be his final tour ever. After all, his 2012 tour was his first real series of shows since Neutral Milk Hotel was still a band (I’m excluding festival one-offs).  A message with new tour dates has been released on his website that’s […]

Jeff Mangum has played for the Occupy Wall Street movement many times; his original return to performing was a spontaneous performance in New York City. He lives in the city now, after all. Guy Picciotto has been more of a producer than a band member since Fugazi‘s hiatus. However, the two independent legends joined together […]
