Los Angeles’ Militarie Gun releases their mini-documentary Live Under The Sun, which is now available to watch on YouTube following the broadcast premiere via VEVO’s Retro Rock channel last night and the in-person premiere at Los Angeles’ Brain Dead Studios earlier this week. In conjunction with the documentary’s release, Militarie Gun will kick off their 2024 festival run this weekend when they make their Coachella debut. In advance of that performance, The Los Angeles Times has tipped them as an act not to miss.
Live Under The Sun sees the band and a host of their Life Under The Sun collaborators reunite at Manchester Orchestra’s Atlanta studio to further reimagine the songs featured on January’s EP, with guest performances from Manchester Orchestra, Marisa Dabice of Mannequin Pussy, and Christine Goodwyne of Pool Kids, who steps in for Alicia Bognanno of Bully for a performance of “Never Fucked Up Twice.” Live Under The Sun provides a window into the growing community around Militarie Gun while highlighting bandleader Ian Shelton’s dynamic and expectation-defying songwriting. The mini-documentary was celebrated at Brain Dead Studios in Los Angeles this past Monday with a screening along with a conversation between Shelton and Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull moderated by Yasi Salek (Bandsplain, 24 Question Party People) and an acoustic performance with Shelton and band featuring Hull.
