About American Princes

AMERICAN PRINCES formed when Little Rock , Arkansas welcomed three New York City transplants with open arms in early 2003. David Slade, then-bassist John Beachboard and drummer Matt Quin finally made their way to "the Rock," where they holed up in an unheated country shack, spending their days writing songs. Enter guitarist Collins Kilgore, a local whose tasteful guitar leads, songwriting savvy and tolerance for liquor quickly made him an indispensable part of the equation. After years of pushing the limits and beating the odds, 2006 brought the release of Less and Less and found the American Princes confident and road ready, with their live show perfected and their best material before them. Their video, "Never Grow Old" portrays the naivety and simplicity of young love, using only a pen and a sheet of notebook paper.
