Under the Gun

OFFICIAL WEB SITE ?
Welcome to the old official web site for Jon Nicholson & Under the Gun from Madison, Wisconsin. Although the band has not played a show in over twenty years, we thought we would leave this page up for those of you who spent a minute searching for it. The band started playing in the summer of 1993 and went to the fall of 1998. Starting as a country cover band, the band quickly became one of the most popular bands in the area. Original line up included Jon Nicholson on vocals and keyboards, Lane Venden on guitar, fiddle, mando, harp, steel and vocals, Chris Wegner on bass and vocals, Kevin Smith on guitar and vocals and David Maier on drums. Dan Mahieu joined in January of 1995 as Jon moved off keyboard duties & into the center with an acoustic guitar. This line up held until the departure of Maier on drums in July of 1996 and Wegner in August. Lane's brother Wade Venden took over on drums and Joe McCloskey on bass. The band played through the end of 1998 with one reunion show on New years Eve in 1999. We all have great memories of these days and thank everyone who had shared these times with us.
