PRESS:
"Los Angeles’ hottest, up-and-coming band...These guys are the real deal: unique in sound, unique in look, unique in performance, and void of any pretense. They are high-energy and dynamic and anything but pedestrian. “Raw powerhouse rock” might be an apt description." - Jeff Wolfman, All Access magazine
"It's pure pop music, they're great musicians, they put on a great live show and the whole album rocks like hell." - Mike Chapman, Sound on Sound magazine
"....songs of teenage lust, punctuated with cries of "yeah yeah yeah" and "1-2-3-4!" They manage the neat trick of being innocent and filthy at the same time. - Bill Kopp, Skope magazine
"It's like watching a band in which each member, plucked from each music genre, was sucked through a music teen lover's time warp and then suddenly dropping them on stage to play the mother of all shows." - picksysticks.com
"The AME blasted the audience with sugar rock charged with heavy metal shrapnel. It felt like an Auld Lang Syne New Year's night. The Crayola mushroom cloud of sight and sound had engulfed the audience like a drug..." - 405east.com
AME TV: NEW EPISODES MON-FRI STARTING 2009
SPREAD THE WORD, PUT AME TV ON YOUR PAGE!
”LAW OF ATTRACTION” (directed by John Baumgaertner)
The AME played their first two shows on the same night,
booking themselves at two different
clubs on opposite ends of Los Angeles with an hour in between each show. A perfect start for the band that Sam
Lanni (Owner - Safari Sam’s, Los Angeles) calls the “The
hardest working band in Los Angeles”. Immediately, the
band began playing anywhere & everywhere they could,
building their reputation as well as their live show. Along
the way, they recorded & released a 4 song EP entitled
“This Is!” This led to airplay by Rodney Bingenheimer, Los Angeles' KROQ, Underground Garage & Indie 103.1 as well as all of the songs being
licensed for numerous shows on NBC, E!, MTV, BRAVO, TLC, Spike tv and more.
The band continued to work hard, spending their nights
playing clubs from Santa Barbara to San Diego & their days
performing at local High Schools. Now it was time to record
a full-length record. The AME chose to work with acclaimed
and Legendary Producer Mike Chapman. Having written &
produced over 140 top ten hits & sold over 350 million records
worldwide with artists such as Blondie, The Knack, The Sweet,
Suzi Quatro & many more, he was the perfect producer for
The AME’s style of rock & roll.
When asked how a band with no record deal & no management were able to get the attention of a Producer like
Chapman, Matt explains, “I Googled his name for weeks
and found out where he lived. I basically stalked him." After
sending Chapman a copy of their EP and getting no response
back, the band took all the money they had & in a bold
move, flew Matt back East to meet Chapman in person.
A month later Chapman flew to Los Angeles to see the band
perform live & he was blown away. Mike says, “I have been
in this business a long time & I have never seen anything like
them in my life”.
2009 has been a year of big changes for The AME. Frankenstein is getting a new brain...stay tuned.
