Deserts of Mars

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:

• Sludge rockers TWIN SAGES -9:00
• Metal, classic lit, and video game inspired AMANDA LEPRE – 10:00
• Hardcore blues CORPORATE ELVIS – 11:00
• Martian metal DESERTS OF MARS – 12:00

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.

Deserts of Mars was interviewed by Mourning/Graveless of Aristocrazia Webzine, an Italian website that features tons of great bands! Here is the review of “Transmission” (in Italian) and here is the interview in English and Italian.

On a personal note, this is super cool to me. My great-grandparents came from Sicily to Texas, so having my first international interview be from Italy is fantastic!

Thanks to this interview, I was also introduced to Gustnado. This one man rock machine has some truly killer tunes. You really need to check out Frank Tudisco’s fuzzed out rockin demo!If you happen to live anywhere near him, join up so we can go to Italy and tour together.

Our CD release at Red Eyed Fly went super great and we managed to raise $360 for the relief efforts in Japan. Thanks to all the great fans and the bands,Valley Of Fire Corporate ElvisBeautiful Disturbance and Venus Fixer for making it an awesome night.

Now that we have had our CD release show we are proud to announce that our CD is on sale in Austin at Encore, End of an Ear, Cheapo, and Waterloo Records.

If you are outside of Austin or you prefer to shop on the web you can get the physical CD atCD Baby, and you can download it there as well. Or, you can shop at Amazon, or iTunes if you prefer.

You can also find us at Lastfm! I have to admit, I’ve spun the Deserts of Mars radio on my Xbox and I can’t say I’ve been disappointed by the bands that show up on it!

If you dig the CD, be sure to tell your friends and put up reviews, we can’t do this without our friends and fans. Your support means more than you can ever know!!!
