Artist History DO YOU LIKE YOUR ROCK-N-ROLL LOUD?? DO YOU LIKE YOUR ROCK-N-ROLL FUN?? THEN YOU’RE GONNA LOVE YOUR ROCK-N-ROLL $MASHED, AMERICAN $MASH STYLE. AMERICAN $MASH IS THAT HIGH OCTANE ROCK-N-ROLL TRASH YOUR MAMA ALWAYS WARNED YOU ABOUT AND THEN SOME. AMERICAN $MASH IS A LITTLE BIT OF GLAM ROCK, POWER POP PUNK, SLEAZE ROCK, AND GOOD OL’ FASHIONED STRAIGHT UP ROCK-N-ROLL AND THEY AIM TO PLEASE ANYBODY AND EVERYONE. AMERICAN $MASH FORMED IN 2001 AS A BAND TO PUT THE RAWK BACK IN RAWK-N-ROLL. THESE FIVE RAWKERS HAVE BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER FOR ALMOST TEN YEARS AND HAVE NO INTENTION ON STOPPING. AFTER SPENDING MOST OF 2001 IN THE STUDIO REHEARSING AND RECORDING THEIR FORTHCOMING DEBUT CD, AMERICAN $MASH IS HEADED TO A VENUE NEAR YOU. THE BAND CONSISTS OF FIVE RAWKERS WITH DIFFERENT ATTITUDES (NO THIS AIN’T NO MANUFACTURED BOY BAND, THIS IS THE REAL THING). FIVE GUYS WHO LIKE TO GET UP ON STAGE AND HAVE A GOOD TIME AND BRING THE AUDIENCE ALONG FOR A RIDE. WITH A COMBINED EXPERIENCE OF OVER 50 YEARS OF LIVE MUSIC AND PERFORMING, IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THESE GUYS HAVEN’T BEEN RAWKING THE WORLD SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME. THE POWERFUL RHYTHM SECTION IS WHAT SETS THIS HARD-EDGED 5 PIECE APART FROM THE REST. ON DRUMS AND VOCALS IS THE EFFERVESENT ROOSTER WHO CAN $MASH OUT BEATS LIKE NO OTHER ROOSTER CAN. ON BASS GUITAR, THE RESIDENT THUMPER, IS A MAN KNOWN ONLY AS BISKITT WHO KEEPS THE LOW END THUNDERING. THE VOCALS AND ATTITUDE ARE PROVIDED BY LARRY SIX GUNS WHO IS ALWAYS WILLING TO PLEASE A CROWD, NO MATTER WHAT. AMERICAN $MASH ALSO UTILIZES A FORGOTTEN ROCK-N-ROLL NECESSITY, THE 2 GUITAR ATTACK. DREW KEEPS THE RHYTHM AND BACKUP VOCALS GOING WHILE DOING HIS BEST CROWD PLEASING, AND JOEY G. $MASHES OUT ELECTRIC SOLOS LIKE A MAN POSSESSED (BY UM SOMETHING, WE’RE JUST NOT SURE WHAT). AMERICAN $MASH’S MAIN AMBITION IS TO ROCK ANYONE AND EVERYONE WITH THEIR ORIGINAL MUSIC BUT THEY ALSO LIKE TO PLAY A HOST OF CLASSIC TUNES TO KEEP THE ROCK-N-ROLL VIBE ALIVE. THE TUNES RANGE FROM THE GLAM ROCK CLASSICS OF BOWIE, ALICE COOPER, AND KISS TO THE 80’s HAIR METAL OF DOKKEN, POISON, AND FASTER PUSSYCAT TO THE POWER POP PUNK OF GREEN DAY, BLINK 182, AND JIMMY EAT WORLD. ALSO AMERICAN $MASH PLAY A FEW SUPRISES WITH THAT AMERICAN $MASH SOUND STAMPED ON THEM TO KEEP YOU RAWKING ALL NITE. SO IF YOU LIKE YOUR ROCK-N-ROLL LOUD, FUN, AND WITH A LITTLE ATTITUDE AND ARE JONESING FOR THE BEST, THEN THE BAND YOU CRAVE IS NONE OTHER THAN AMERICAN $MASH! IT’S TIME TO GET $MASHED!!!!
