AAHS started in March of 2006. Four of the five members came from the band Burn What's Left which started the summer prior to EA. Those four members being Mike Daily, Dave Caldwell, Bryan Ray and Bob Lease (drums). They were joined on second guitar by Ian Hughes. At the start, Mike was not a part of the project. He joined in May of 2006 after leaving his current band "Behold the Harlot" (then "A Dead Lover's Memoir"). The band starting working on material then settled on the name "Escaping August". The band then finished writing their set and started playing out at the very end of May. The band continued writing and playing shows throughout the summer, keeping very busy while also recording a 2 song demo at Obsidian Sound. The band continued their hard work all the way through February of 2007 then went back to the studio to record their first EP titled "This City Lies in Ruins". Then, about a month after the recording was completed, drummer Bob Lease decided that playing drums for the band had run its course and decided to leave the band. EA then went on to search for a drummer. No more than 2 weeks went by when our friend Jared George came into the jam room with us. After the first session we knew we had exactly what this band needed with Jared. After writing some new material the band decided that "Escaping August" had run its course as well. A new name was needed. One that actually had meaning to the band and made a statement. This is when An American Horror Story was born. After finishing up the Still Flexin' tour and the A.C. Sla-tour with Myrtle Beach act Massacre of the Umbilical Cord, Jared decided to part ways with AAHS. The band then had to search for yet another drummer. Damian Tucker joined AAHS in September 2007 and was with the band until mid-March of 2008. Things just were not working as originally expected. AAHS found their match with drummer Brandon Fitch. Brandon brings a unique fusion of styles to AAHS and is sure to push the musical boundaries of AAHS even further. The band recently recorded a 3-song demo at Sacred Sound Recording Studio in Martins Ferry, Ohio with Mr. Andrew Della Cagna at the helm. The three songs can be found on the AAHS/LADY BINN HILL split.
AAHS disbanded back in May. It's been a rough few months but after some time off, there may just be some vital signs being shown. Nothing is guaranteed, however, but we're just looking on the bright side of the possibility. ;-)
