The American Analog Set, also known as The AmAnSet, is an indie rock band from Austin, Texas. The group is led by singer and guitarist Andrew Kenny. Additional members include or have included Lee Gillespie, Mark Smith, Craig McCaffrey, Tom Hoff, Lisa Roschmann and Sean Ripple. Their name derives from their preference for analog rather than digital recording media. Formed in 1995, the group has released six full-length albums the latest one being Set Free, which was released on September 20, 2005 in North America.

In October 2005, rumours began spreading across the internet that the group was on the verge of disbanding. The band quickly refuted such rumours, but added that they may not tour again due to their obligations with other projects.

Does anyone know where the hell one could find a vinyl copy of Know by Heart? I can't get my hands on one to save my life.

If I was granted three wishes, a new album from these guys would be one of them. Hurry up.

Well Andrew Kenny has reportedly returned to Austin after touring with Ola Podrida in order to work on new material. No matter if it is AmAnSet or solo work, I would be happy.
