Our friend Paul Clemens just released a book called Punching Out about his year chronicling the dismantling of the Budd Plant here in Detroit. Check out his interview on the Daily Show. Later this week we’ll post the book trailer with sounds by AM.

Hey All,
Here’s a holiday jam for your 2010 playlist. It’s available on Itunes and CDbaby but you can check it out here and on both our Facebook and Myspace Pages. Recorded just a few weeks ago at the Tempermill here in Detroit.
We’ll be playing “Promise Me” live at this year’s Sounds and Spirits Holiday Spectacular; the 9th Annual spectacular I might add! The show is Thursday, December 23 at the Magic Stick in Detroit, 4140 Wooward. Lots of other great bands will also be playing their favorite holiday tunes and all the money goes to COTS, Detroit’s Coalition on Temporary Shelter.
Listen to Promise Me
AM was back in the studio last weekend recording two songs for the upcoming holiday season. The first song is a cover of the Everly Brothers’ tune “Chistmas Eve Can Kill You,” and the second is an untitled original which will almost certainly NOT feature the words “kill” or “eve” in the title. The boys were at the Tempermill this past Friday to record vocals and cowbell and should be ready to release the two songs after Thanksgiving. Garth is doing the art for the cover.
American Mars will play the annual Sounds and Spirits Holiday Spectacular, curated by our own David Feeny, on Thursday December 23.
Thanks to everyone who came out to see us this summer. It was lots of fun playing outside and we seem to have broken AM’s weather curse, for the moment.
The DIY Fest in Ferndale, MI has become a wonderful festival and it was a great reminder that despite all the horror stories in the news about Detroit, this area really has some wonderful events and even better people.
