We are very happy to announce the Japanese release date July 26th for the new self-titled American Heartbreak album on
M.F./B-Gram Records !! This version will also include two acoustic bonus tracks : The Last Of The Superheroes (of the
1970's) & Unhappily Ever After. The best thing about all this Is we are headed over to play four shows In Tokyo this
November ! Check the tour page or click here for the dates !!! We've had some very loyal friends & fans over there for
years now who have been waiting patiently for this new release & now get to see the band live. We've toured Europe 4
times but we have been waiting for this day to arrive about touring Japan for a long time now !!!
We also just finished filming the first video for the lead single 'The Last Of The Superheroes (of the 1970's) off the new
self-titled album on Liquor and Poker/Century Media Records. It was shot & directed by our good friend Bam for his video
production company bam13films.com The video was partly filmed at a local Rock N' Roll bar called Arrow In the seedy part
of our hometown San Francisco for the live footage along with some additional scenes filmed on our green screen wall In
our tiny rehearsal room. The video includes the band playing live along with cool animated images of old 8 track players,
platform shoes, cool cars & more. The video begins with a hilarious mocking introduction by bass player Michael Butler
dressed In an over sized jean leisure suite coat with a nicely combed over hair doo & dry personality portraying the 1970's
late night host Don Kirshner from the classic T.v. show Don Kirshners Rock Concert (who some might remember) The next
scene our good pal Mick Cripps (who's best known for as rhythm guitarist with the original L.A. GUNS) who played the
creepy door guy denies the band to enter the club, then gets flashed by American Heartbreak cover model Justine Nelson
where the band then sneaks past him. The end result Is a good fun Rock N' Roll video with a bit of sex & comedy. We had
a blast making this & look forward to filming the next one.
We also want to announce a few spot dates In August up & down the west coast which will be followed with a US tour this
September/October !!! So go check out the new video and keep watch for tour dates to be announced soon at :
