About this Event

The Union Underground and Spineshank Co-Headline Tour25th Anniversary of "An Education In Rebellion" & 25th Anniversary Of "The Height Of Callousness"

The Union Underground released its debut album, Education in Rebellion, in July 2000. The album spent four months on the charts and the track "Turn Me on 'Mr. Deadman'" was on the mainstream rock charts for six months. The band was also on the 2001 Ozzfest tour.

The Union Underground's next recording was the track "Across the Nation," heard on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) various-artists album Forced Entry, released in March 2002. The song earned the band another extended stay on the mainstream rock charts. In June 2002, they released "Live...One Nation Underground", a six-track EP containing songs recorded live in concert in 2000 and 2001.

The Union Underground is in the studio working on a new album. Stay tuned for details.

Los Angeles heavies Spineshank began in February of 1996, rising from the ashes of a previous band, Basic Enigma (which included future Spineshankers Johnny Santos on vocals, Mike Sarkisyan on guitars, and Tom Decker on drums). Basic Enigma broke up upon hearing Demanufacture, the 1996 release by electro-metallists Fear Factory, but soon re-formed with a different sound and moniker, and a new bassist (Robert Garcia). The band soon befriended Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares, who upon hearing their demo, offered the new band to open a show for F.F. at the Whiskey A-Go-Go in Los Angeles. This led to other coveted opening slots (with such popular acts as Coal Chamber, Snot, Soulfly, Sepultura, and Danzig, among others), and label interest, with Roadrunner eventually signing the band. Their debut, Strictly Diesel, was released in September of 1998, and featured yet another tie-in with their favorite band: Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell sings on the track "Stain." Height of Callousness followed two years later
