Hey team,

American Mars supports Merge Recording artist and personal fave Richard Buckner, next Thursday, July 26, at Detroit’s Magic Stick. Also performing is Cleveland’s Six Parts Seven who we have played with before here in Detroit. Doors are at 8pm and I think AM will play pretty close to 9pm. Tix available through Ticketmaster or at the door. Should be good!

AM also plays this Saturday, July 21 at the Elbow Room in Ypsilanti, MI. Also appearing: Mike Boyd, Eugene and Rusty, and Northern Whiskey Syndicate. Music starts at 10 o’clock and cover is only $5.

As many of you know, Blanche (featuring our own dear David Feeny) is currently in Europe promoting its new record, Little Amber Bottles. So it was with considerable concern that we watched the news over the last few days of the attempted attacks in London and Glasgow. It was good to find out that no one except the attackers were hurt (hard to muster too much sympathy) and thankful that all our friends and family in Europe are ok. Our brothers and sisters in Blanche are on their way home tomorrow and it will be good to have them home.
