Whiskey Peeps, a liter of Ten High, tangled patch cables, a bottle of Jack gone missing and seen wandering through the crowd, a dunk tank, there goes one singer off the stage, a cooler full of empty tall boy PBRs, there goes a guitarist off the stage, where did the other bands’ beer go, ok, here comes some girls on stage, who is that guy singing with the band, uhm, Lando Calrissian is breaking in the pizza line, rhythm section wrestling, breakfast in bed consisting of bagels (but no clothes),… What is all of this you ask? Long story short, it’s a real life story called American Gun, a band that over the past five years has racked up a years’ worth of shows throughout the Southeast, traveling to any dive that will have them and broadcasting their own unique spin on rock and roll while attempting to (and most often succeeding) connect with fans on a personal level. They also have a pretty darn good time themselves in the process of all the madness.
Inspired by the rough and tumble alternative country of artists like Lucero, Steve Earle, and Uncle Tupelo, the band quickly hit upon its own brand of rambunctious, barn-burning rock n’ roll. Laudatory reviews followed the releases of their last two full-lengths, 2006’s Dark Southern Hearts and The Means & the Machine in 2008, the latter of which drew on the talents of Chris Stamey (Whiskeytown, Yo La Tengo) and the lap steel guitar legend Al Perkins (The Flying Burrito Brothers). In the past few years the band has received attention from a variety of smaller record labels and distributors.
