We are in Nashville at the moment working on our tour plans for the 1st half of our Fall Tour and we wanted to share the dates with ya today and ask you to start spreading the word to your friends!
We are hitting a bunch of cities we've been to before and a handful that we have never played that we're excited to get to.
We'll be out in August for a few dates with THE WHIGS (myspace.com/thewhigs) which we are really stoked about cause they have have made 2 great records and are working hard like we are to bring rock n roll back all across the country, so look for us and them in Indianapolis,Columbus Ohio and doing a hometown show here in Nashville! Then in September we will be hitting the road with 3 Doors Down and playing a bunch of Ampitheatres and Arenas all over the country including Red Rocks in Denver which is one of the most amazing venues in the world. We are very honored to get to rock the Red Rocks actually twice in September because we will be back out there for the Monolith Festival (www.monolithfestival.com) with a ton of killer bands like: SilverSun Pickups, Vampire Weekend, Tv on the Radio, and Band of Horses.
The month of September is finishing up with our 1st performance at the AUSTIN CITY LIMITS MUSIC FESTIVAL in Austin Tx. We can't wait to get to Austin cause its always an amazing time and the lineup this year is too good! Black Keys, Beck, Foo Fighters, Robert Plant and Allison Krause, Gillian Welch, Us and the list goes on and on.... Check out more info at: www.aclfest.com
We'll be announcing more dates for October and November later in the Summer, but until then spread the word on these and we'll see you on the road !

Thanks so much to everyone for the Amazing Response to our song "Wild and Young" that was on last night's season Finale of the show "GREEK". We have been blown away by the amount of great feedback we've received in the last 24 hours...
I wanted to take a second to explain why we had the song up on our Myspace page and why we have taken it down for now. When the opportunity came up for us to do the taping of GREEK we were all really excited about it and we knew they wanted to use our song "Wild and Young" that we wrote and have recently recorded for our new album that we are finishing up as i type but we also knew that the show would more than likely air before our album was completely done which pretty much sucks cause we can't have the song up for sale for you guys yet and because the recording that is on the show is actually only a demo and not the version we will have on the album. We didn't want to leave it up and confuse people when we do put out the actual recording in a few months.
So.... what we've decided to do for now is we are going to put this video of our performance on "GREEK" with us playing "Wild and Young" up on our myspace page under the "Video" section and ask you guys and gals to please post this video everywhere ! On your myspace, facebook, Ilike, Virb pages, blogs, email it to your friends and help us spread the word about this song and our new album "Wild and Young" !
We can't wait for you all to hear the whole album we are working on and we know it sucks not to be able to have music that you want to have at the very second you want to listen to it! We are frustrated by this more than i can try to put into words....
Thanks again for all the support and messages!
We'll be on the road the next couple weeks in the Midwest.... Come check us out in INDIANAPOLIS,BLOOMINGTON,MILWAUKEE and CHAMPAIGN ILLINOIS and NASHVILLE ! Dates are on our myspace page!
Our EP : MOVE TO THE MUSIC IS AVAILABLE NOW ON ITUNES !
New Merch is up in the Merch Store on our myspace and on our website at: www.americanbangrock.com
