24.01.2022 American Fools, the Heartland Rock focused tribute band is auditioning for a new drummer. We're up and gigged so we need someone who: a) loves Mellencamp, Creedence and that whole Heartland vibe b) is in less than 4 other bands c) can hit like Kenny Aronoff... Hit me up via PM if you're interested and available, or have any questions If you know of someone experienced who might be interested, please share on!

14.01.2022 Exciting news for the 'Fools with the confirmation of our new guitar-slinger, Reg Terrell. Reg also fronts Moraygun, playing their own brand of psycho-surf around town at the moment. He's already got a handle on nearly all of our existing repertoire which means we can get out there and spread some more Mellencamp goodness soon! Please join us in welcoming his chops and vox to the band.
13.01.2022 After many discussions to and fro we have decided that it is in everyone's best interests not to proceed with this event. But we will be back. Count on it. Many thanks to Pretoria Hotel Mannum and Supersound Productions for their assistance and support. The Pretoria is sorting refunds for all of you who had booked online.
13.01.2022 Mellencamp Lyric Fun Fact #1 - in "Cherry Bomb", it's not "that's when a smoke was a smoke", it's "that's when a sport was a sport" Now you can pay out everyone else when they sing it wrong!
12.01.2022 Finally getting back to rehearsal after a few months off, and feeling positive that the live scene will reinvent itself and adapt to whatever it looks like out there on any given week. Get out there, and support the bands and small venues where possible. can't wait to bring the 'Fools out of hiding again in the near future!

08.01.2022 Well it's taken a lot of searching over the last few months, but the 'Fools are finally ready to let you in on our big news - our new drummer Gary Read.

Add to that he's a nice guy We're looking to do the big reveal at a gig in a few weeks (stay tuned for deets) - we can't wait to get out there and see y'all again! Welcome on board the Fooltrain, Gary!

05.01.2022 American Fools are the South Australian tribute to the heartland rock of John Mellencamp. All the songs you know, some you forgot you knew and maybe some you've never heard before (unless you're an uberfan :) ) Head over to our Youtube channel for more updates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5biUEQNE5mg
05.01.2022 The 'Fools are super stoked to welcome this handsome devil to the fold. Damian Jolly has stepped in as our new bass player, and has already shown to be up to the challenge of the massive Mellencamp catalogue. Big thanks to departing bassist Tim On Bass in getting us this far - your support and organisational skills have helped us build a substantial base in a short timeframe. Come along and check out Damian's chops at our only pre-fringe show at the Railway Hotel, Port Adelaide, on Jan 30th
04.01.2022 The Pretoria is an awesome live music room - especially when near full. Make a night of it - share this on to anyone you know in the area who loves a bit of JD (Jack/Diane )
01.01.2022 ....and Fringe night 2/2 at the Pilgrim Hall, CBD
