    .. .. .... .. .. ..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.

    I'm looking for bands to play at The Blue Cafe(s) for every night of the week and select saturdays at the Puka Bar in Long Beach. You can refer to my booking blogs for what is available or send over a message of what sounds good and I can shoot over some dates for you.
    Hope to hear from you soon
