(OPR) Los Angeles-based Militarie Gun releases their NPR Tiny Desk Concert performance. The stripped back show features new versions of songs from throughout their discography, including "B A D I D E A," "God Owes Me Money," "Throw Me Away," "Don't Pick Up The Phone," "Thought You Were Waving," and "Do It Faster."
Militarie Gun will headline the first ever California Chaos Festival in Los Angeles on April 11th. The all Californian band bill will include sets from Stateside, Grave Secrets, Xcomm, Blossom, Jawdropped, and Star99.
Additionally, Militarie Gun are midway through their North American tour with Joyce Manor, where they recently performed to a sold out crowd at New York City's Brooklyn Paramount, and still have shows in Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Vancouver, Seattle, and more on the horizon.
Militarie Gun released their album God Save The Gun via Loma Vista Recordings last October, which includes the aforementioned track "God Owes Me Money," which arrived as BBC Radio 1's Hottest Record In The World and was described by Rolling Stone as "tragically catchy" along with the tracks "B A D I D E A" and "Throw Me Away," both of which arrived alongside videos directed by vocalist and primary songwriter Ian Shelton. Militarie Gun graced the digital cover of Highsnobiety, where in the story the band discussed the making of God Save The Gun, Shelton's role as bandleader, and the ways in which substance abuse and relationships to addiction serve as narrative throughlines across the album. Shelton also sat with SPIN Magazine to discuss the themes of God Save The Gun, the meaning of the cover artwork, and more.
