Militarie Gun To Premiere Mini-Doc, 'Live Under the Sun'

Militarie Gun To Premiere Mini-Doc, 'Live Under the Sun'

- By Ramon Gonzales

The band will screen the feature at Brain Dead Studios next month and will host a Q & A and acoustic performance with Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull. 

Functioning as a sort of companion release to the band's celebrated Life Under The Sun EP which followed the band's lauded 2023 LP, Life Under the Gun - Militarie Gun is again asserting their prowess as prolific songwriters and hardcore artisans. 

Set to debut the mini-doc, Live Under The Sun, frames the reunion of music makers at Manchester Orchestra’s Atlanta studio for a special live take on the EP. The footage includes guest performances from Manchester Orchestra, Marisa Dabice of Mannequin Pussy, as well as Christine Goodwyne of Pool Kids, stepoping in for Alicia Bognanno of Bully to take on a performance of, “Never Fucked Up Twice.”

At the center of both the film and the band, songwriter and Militarie Gun architect Ian Shelton asserts his connection to an ever-growing community that continues to galvanize around the sound the band forges - one rooted in hardcore ethos and songwriting aptitude. 

 

 

In celebration of the release of the short doc, Militarie Gun will host the premiere of the film in Los Angeles at Brain Dead Studios on April 8th. Following the screening, Ian Shelton will be joined by podcaster and writer Yasi Salek (Bandsplain, 24 Question Party People) as well as Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull for a Q&A and an acoustic performance featuring Hull as part of the festivities.

Following the premiere event at Brain Dead, Live Under the Sun will then broadcast via VEVO Retro Rock channel on April 10th with a wide online premiere set for April 11th.

The arrival of the mini-doc sets the band up for their upcoming slate of live dates spanning the majority of the year. Militarie Gun is confirmed to appear at Coachella, Welcome to Rockville, Primavera Sound, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Thing Festival, Louder Than Life Festival, Reading & Leeds, Aftershock and more this year, in addition to a stretch of supporting dates with A Day to Remember this summer.
