“Exposure” Record Release Show

AM is pleased to announce the release of its fifth full-length album, Exposure, on November 21, 2016 on Gangplank Records.

We’re celebrating the event with a co-record release show with Nick Piunti, whose excellent new album “Trust Your Instincts” has just been released. The party is on Saturday, November 26 at PJ’s Lager House in Detroit and will feature very special guests Ryan Allen and His Extra Arms. Cover is $10 which gets you complimentary copies of both records.

Exposure is now available through the following outlets:

Gangplank Records
Bandcamp
Amazon
Itunes
Spotify

Peace,

Civilians Reunion Show

American Mars is tickled to be opening for the Civilians this coming Friday (4/8) at the Loving Touch in Ferndale, Michigan. Jim Hebler and the gang have been enthusiastic supporters of AM over the years so we’re looking forward to see them take the stage. Also looking forward to seeing the Burros! Should be fun.

Happy Holidays!

We hope this post finds you well. Much thanks to everyone who made it out to the Very Gangplank Christmas show. David and Matt and everyone at Gangplank Records did a fantastic job pulling the night together and all of the bands were most excellent. Special love to Dan John Miller for having AM back him up on his evening’s tunes. Great, great fun.

In time for Christmas, we just posted a cover of the Beach Boys’ tune “Christmas Day.” You can find it in the audio player or you can listen and download the track for free on the AM Bandcamp site here.

Remember that AM music and wearables make a nice, if slightly odd gift. Our wares can be found on Bandcamp, Itunes, and on the official Gangplank Records website.

On behalf of everyone in the band, we’d like to thank everyone for supporting American Mars this year. We wish you all a happy holiday season and a great new year.

Peace,
Thomas

Second, if you’re looking for some high value, low cost holiday gifts, consider some American Mars music or merchandise. All of our music is priced to move and you can now purchase our entire discography for the discounted price of $16.50 through Bandcamp.
