A Special Seated Show with
THE AMERICAN ANALOG SET
The American Analog Set formed in Fort Worth, TX sometime in 1995 and gained its footing through the nineties and early aughts in Austin, TX. From their humble beginnings recording their mellow rock albums in living rooms and home studios, The American Analog Set went on to release 7 full length albums, a multitude of highly-sought-after 7″s and EPs, and toured the world – from house shows and clubs to headlining tours and festivals- while gathering a loyal global fanbase. Though the band went on hiatus after the release and tour in support of Set Free in 2005, they never truly went away as their music continued to make their way onto playlists while fans patiently waited and hoped for more.
In the meantime, the band’s founder/frontman Andrew Kenny formed a new band, The Wooden Birds, released work as a solo artist, and was a touring member of the Juno Award winning Canadian band Broken Social Scene and Texas-based group Ola Podrida. Kenny also wrote and performed the original score for Alex R. Johnson’s critically acclaimed feature film Two Step which made its world premiere at SXSW Film Festival.
In 2023, The American Analog Set surprised fans with the release of For Forever, their first album in 18 years. It found its way onto the airways and playlists and into the hands of waiting fans and the vinyl sold out within days. Next came New Drifters, a 5xLP boxset of the band’s first 3 albums (The Fun Of Watching Fireworks, From Our Living Room To Yours, The Golden Band), released by Numero Group and named by Pitchfork in their “Best Reissues and Box Sets of 2024” list. The band will see a second boxset in 2025 with the release of their Tiger Style-era releases (Know By Heart, Promise of Love, Set Free) via Numero Group.
Reinvigorated by the release of their 7th full length, For Forever, the Numero Group’s release of the New Drifters boxset and forthcoming Tiger Style reissues boxset, the band decided it was high time to get back on stage once again. In Fall 2024, The American Analog Set announced their first proper shows in nearly 20 years with a very special show called “Magic Hour, an intimate, immersive live show featuring a 90 minute set of thoughtfully selected songs from the band’s first six albums performed by original members. The shows sold out within 24 hours. With “Magic Hour”, The American Analog Set remind us all why, after 25+ years as a band with multiple album releases and world tours, they remain the go-to bedroom-pop band from deep in the heart of Texas.
Through the years, American Analog Set not only gained and maintained a very loyal following of fans around the world, but also the respect and fandom of their fellow musicians and recording enthusiasts. Of The American Analog Set, Ben Gibbard has said, “Death Cab would not be where we are today without the influence of this great Austin band.” And Mark Hoppus of blink-182 said, “Know By Heart is one of the best albums from the greatest band that never got the light it deserved.”
