…to all who showed up for our last show of the year, we really appreciate it. It was a great show! We played 3 new tunes along with a bunch of junk classics. Conrad notified everybody in the audience that he would likely make a fool of himself before we played Bikeage and he succeeded by falling over my drum set and ultimately kicking his own ass.
The crowd was the best one we’ve seen lately with some awesome interaction between us and the audience, in fact, I think I heard somebody say, “you guys are fat!” Ain’t that the truth. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that came out and helped support us this year, without you guys coming to the shows, we couldn’t keep doing it, Thank You! During our hiatus we’ll be writing and perfecting a bunch of new tunes that will be going on the upcoming record so we are very excited. Check back to Amerikanjunk.com for more updates. See you in the streets!

Since we’ve gotten Brent fully trained-in our current song list and immersed in the songwriting process, we’ve turned out three of our best tunes to date. We’ll rock them out at our October 19th show as well as a surprise Descendants song (come to the show to find out the song). During our upcoming break we’ll put together something like 15 more songs and begin the recording process. Probably take some time but keep checking back for further updates as they come. I’ve also gotten an idea from a friend to produce some political flavored Junk videos so that may also come down the pipe as well as a new photo shoot which has been in planning for the last 2 months. I’ll let yall know.

Lace up your waffle makers and glue up the liberty spikes, Amerikan Junk is playing at The Triple Rock! This is going to be our last official show before our extended hiatus which will likely last until the new year unless we do a new year show, I guess we’ll see. Anyway, our friends from Kansas City, “Fairbanks” put the show together. They’re a Rock band that really knows how to jam. Also on the bill is “Wolfman Strikes Again” which includes some other buddies of ours from the area and “Modern Mercenary.” It should be a great, musically diverse show. We’ll see you there! Details below.
