Hey everyone, some of you may or may not have heard but American Ruse has decided to call it quits., that's right we are hanging up our hats! We were waiting for the right time to let everyone know and I guess this is as good as it gets. We have had a great run over the last 2 years and we wanna thank all of you who supported us along the way. Music will always be apart of our lives and we will have other projects at some point but we took American Ruse as far as we could and it was a good ride! So a big thank you to: Our families, friends, Reggie @ The Green Door, Dustin & Gianni @ The Conservatory, Brandon (our roadie), Robby Knight (website), The Black Novas, The Kansas City Faggots, No Man No, Celebrity, Jesse in Kansas City, Frank McCright, Tori @ Kinkos, Hellrose, TDS, Ricky Brooks, Don "The Nuge" Nguyen, & Dave Klein for filling in on bass guitar, Steve Ray, Dale & Tracy Sexton, Dales BBQ House, Matt & Jesse Fine @ Fine Ink Design, Stephen Egerton @ Armstrong Studio, Jason & Nathan Velasquez @ The Insomniac Shack, Carl Amburn @ Mousetrap Studio, Jason Livermore @ The Blasting Room, Dave Champion, Jake Starr @ Fandango Records, Myspace, Purevolume, Loony @ Headhunters, Luna & The Lonestar Rollergirls, Size Records, Guestroom Records, everyone that offered a floor to us on tour, & last but not least our BIG BLUE church van that never failed us during our cross country treks.

WAIT WAIT WAIT......
Just because American Ruse has called it quits, doesn't mean you cannot still ROCK OUT to our music!!! Keep your eyes peeled for the 3rd volume of Flattery a tribute to Radio Birdman. American Ruse were asked to record a song for the album that is set to release early 2006. We were honored to be the only band from The good ole U.S. of A picked to be on it. American Ruse entered the studio, tracked the song " Do The Pop" and we are very excited with how great it turned out. This is a must have record for you lovers of RNR!!
