Since Billy left to teach his daughter how to fight Rocktopi, we had to wait for the Curiosity Rover to do it’s real mission and find us a drummer. We’ve found the mighty Space Viking Erik Kinservik who thundered his way to our Martian home base and is now rocking the drums in DoM.

We’re playing November 23rd at Red Eyed Fly (our home base away from the home base) with an awesome lineup of bands!! Details Below:

Deserts of Mars returns from their home base with a new drummer and more rock than ever! Forget Black Friday… We’re turning it to the new post holiday: RED FRIDAY!

As usual get there directly on time and stick around for an awesome night of ROCK. Our friends Holy Ka-Kow rock the headlining slot and we are surrounded by new friends Wait Six and Wells Branch. Roll out of bed in the afternoon and start your weekend with a healthy dose of ROCK!

It’s also Megan of Holy Ka-Kow’s B-day! Come early and stay late for awesomeness!!

Cover is the usual 5$ (or $8 under 21)

  • 9:30  Wells Branch
  • 10:30 Deserts of Mars
  • 11:30 Wait Six
  • 12:30 Holy Ka-Kow

We will also be announcing new 2012 closeout and upcoming 2013 shows very soon! We’re also working on a new and improved DoM website that allows us easier updating and more ROCK for everyone. Hope to see you all more often. In the meantime, there’s always the Deserts of Mars Facebook page. Tell your friends across the Universe!!!

Rock on!!

Final Show of 2011

Headlining Trophy’s on Friday Dec. 16th!

We’re pretty psyched to be closing out the year with a cool show at Trophy’s (2008 South Congress Ave). It’s been a while since we’ve played there and this lineup of friends is perfect to start ringing in the holidays! Come early and stay late… There’s free parking and the show is inside, so you can get out of the cold, into hot Rock and raise a drink (and your fists) high! All the details:

An AWESOME holiday party featuring Austin’s most entertaining hard rockers:

Music between sets programmed by DJ WOMAN FROM MARS

$5/21+. Doors open at 8:00, and live music starts at 9:00.

Comment on the Anti-Gravity Agency page or RSVP to antigravityatx@gmail.com with the words: “Life On Mars” for a chance to win free admission +1! (2 winners randomly selected will receive a reply on the day of the show, by 5pm.)

“I’ve wanted to coordinate a hard rock show for a while now, so this will be a December to remember, and the final Anti-Gravity booking! But I’m promoting local and touring talent and events with great booking agents in 2012, and hopefully in many years to come.”
~”DIY” Danna

We’ll have T-shirts and CDS if you want to give the gift of ROCK this holiday season and we might even have some extra giveaways. We won’t judge if you’re naughty or nice, as long as you come have a good time.
