Utica, NY (03/26/2015) - Nationally touring acts X Ambassadors and Royal Tongues will visit Utica College on April 25, 2015, for Moose Madness, the college’s spring event. The concert is sponsored by the UC Programming Board.

X Ambassadors is an alternative rock band from Ithaca, N.Y. After forming in 2009, the band made its mainstream debut in 2013, as a featured artist on Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2, Deluxe Edition. Football fans will recognize the group’s most recent hit, “Jungle,” featuring Jamie N Commons; the song was used to introduce the Detroit Lions throughout the 2014 NFL season. The “Jungle” video has earned more than 3.8 million views on YouTube.

Alternative-pop duo Royal Tongues will open the show. Buffalo natives Aaron Bonus and Justin Gammella formed the band in late 2014, and released debut single, “The Balance,” in December 2014. The duo is one of Pure Volume's 2014 Top 10 unsigned bands.

Steve Oliveira, Utica College senior and director of the UC Programming Board, said the bands are a “good fit” for a Utica audience: “Both groups are somewhat local, so they have a lot of fans in the area.”

The bands will take the stage at Utica College’s Clark Athletic Center on Saturday, April 25, 2015, as part of UC’s Moose Madness. The weekend-long celebration brings students and alumni to campus for athletic events, carnival games and music.

Admission to the concert is free for Utica College students, and $15 for the general public. Doors open at 3:45 p.m.; the show begins at 4:30 p.m. Visit uticatickets.com for more information.
