HELLUVA NIGHT featuring Neon Trees with Special Guest Lost Kings

The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology concert committee “135 Entertainment” is proud to present “Helluva Night” featuring Neon Trees with special guest Lost Kings. The event is part of the “Rocker Days” homecoming week festivities at Mines that take place September 8-15

Hailed by Rolling Stone as "a New Wave pop powerhouse," Neon Trees first united in 2006 and instantly attracted acclaim and attention for their kaleidoscopic sound and affirmative vision, showcased on 2010's extraordinary debut album, HABITS. The album proved a phenomenon from the start, ascending to #1 on Billboard's "Heatseekers Albums" chart following the breakthrough success of its lead single, "Animal." A true international smash with 75 million streams to date, "Animal" reached the upper regions of an array of airplay and sales charts, including #1 on Billboard's "Alternative Songs" chart - the band's first ever #1 single. Now certified 2x platinum by the RIAA, "Animal" eventually received "Top Alternative Song" honors at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, while also being featured in a long list of TV, film, and video game soundtracks and advertising campaigns. PICTURE SHOW followed two years later, highlighted by the 4x platinum certified blockbuster, "Everybody Talks", Neon Trees' first single to reach the top 10 on Billboard's "Hot 100" as well as their first ever #1 on the "Hot AC" chart. The song has been streamed 130 million times to date. POP PSYCHOLOGY made a stunning top-10 debut on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 upon its April 2014 release - Neon Trees' highest chart placement to date. The album's popular success was driven in large part by the multi-format smash single/video, "Sleeping With A Friend," now certified gold by the RIAA for sales and streams in excess of 41 million.

The Provo, UT-based band is currently hard at work in the studio, preparing the eagerly awaited follow-up to their 3rd album, 2014's acclaimed POP PSYCHOLOGY. "It seems strange to say this but: We're back," wrote Neon Trees in a recent Facebook post. "It's been three years since our last album, and after years of being a band together, touring the world and living the dreams of our youth, we took an important break, one that's refreshed all of us and refocused what our band is and what we want to do next...Thank you for being with us all these years, and we can't wait to show you all what we've been up to and what we have in store."

Lost Kings consists of Los Angeles based Robert Gainley and Nick Shanholtz. They have risen up through the ranks of new producer talents gaining over 157 million total streams worldwide and have had 14 #1s on Hype Machine and securing a Las Vegas residency at The Wynn.

2017 was a big year for Lost Kings as they were named Google Play's #1 artist to watch and released some of their biggest hits to date. Most recently, the guys have released their hit single "First Love" ft. Sabrina Carpenter, which currently has over 25 million streams on Spotify and their follow up track "Don't Call" which has nearly 10 million streams on Spotify. In addition, they released "Look At Us Now" ft. Ally Brooke and A$AP Ferg, "Quit You" ft. Tinashe and "Phone Down" ft. Emily Warren. All the tracks have reached nearly 125 million streams combined on Spotify.

The duo spent last year playing festivals all over the world including Ultra Music Festival, Ever After Music Festival, Escapade Music Festival, Milwaukee Summerfest, Ultra Asia, Electric Zoo Festival, Dancefestopia, KAABOO Del Mar and more. The group is currently supporting their most recent single, "When We Was Young" feat. Norma Jean Martine.
