LIVE REVIEW: 80/35 Music Festival (Day 1)

Day 1 of 2015’s 80/35 is in the books. The weather was beautiful, the music sounded great, the crowd showed endless enthusiasm and feet soreness is at a manageable level. The main stage, as promised in the 80/35 preview, did not disappoint. But, aside from the top-of-the-bill acts delivering expectedly shining performances, there were some […]

UTG PHOTOS: Keep Calm And Chive On, Seattle (Chive Fest, 7/12/14)

Under the Gun sent photographer Xander Deccio to the Seattle Center in Seattle, WA on July 12 for Chive Fest. I’m going to be brutally honest: I had no clue what The Chive was, and when I heard from a colleague that they were having a music festival at the infamous Seattle Center, I had […]

Hey, everyone! I’m Tarynn Law, and this is a weekly column I’ll be writing that spotlights some up and coming indie pop/alternative/hipster/hype/buzz bands/you-get-the-idea groups that you should be checking out before they become massive.

Watch St. Lucia Play “Elevate” on Jimmy Kimmel

Upbeat synth-pop fellow St. Lucia stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, performing “Elevate” off his debut album, When the Night. You can watch a video of the performance after the jump. The performance has him sporting some MoMA-looking suits, bopping around and slapping the bass like life will go on forever. It encapsulates the sound of […]

MUSIC VIDEO: St. Lucia – “Elevate”

One of my favorite singles this year has been “Elevate” by St. Lucia. It’s upbeat and complex, but really easy to sing along to. I’ve heard multiple versions of the song and each of them are equally as great as the others. Now we have some visuals to accompany the song. Noisey premiered the video […]

STREAM: St. Lucia – “Too Close”

X’s are filling up my calendar this September as I await St. Lucia‘s debut full length, coming October 8. I fell in love with the Brooklyn synth-pop group when I decided that 10 bucks a month for Rdio’s services was a pretty good deal. I synced a bunch of stuff I was recommended and some […]

STREAM: St. Lucia – “Elevate (Passion Pit Remix)”

I recently subscribed to Rdio’s monthly service and I’m absolutely loving it. It started with a long trip to Georgia last month and has since evolved into a new age of music discovery. After filling out my collection with my favorites and well-worn out records, I started looking into new albums by unknown-to-me artists and […]
