...and the Pics are in.

Here are a sample of the photos from last Sunday's photo shoot with Tony Chavez of A.N.C. Rockstar Photography. Tony shot a lot more than is posted here and I'm sure I'll be posting more in the future.
-Thanks Tony, These are great!

SUNDAY: Press Pack and Promo Photo Shoot

Two days 'til showtime. The energy and enthusiasm is (are?)  high and rising.
Today, Sunday, is a regular rehearsal day, but also the day of our much anticipated photo shoot with photographer, friend, and all around cool guy, Tony Chavez of A.N.C. Rockstar Photography.
Look forward to seeing Tony's stellar photos in the next post.

Meanwhile, a little earlier in the day, a fine Sunday brunch featuring guitarist Chris Kane's famous spicy smoked chicken legs and Percussionist Andy Kreitz' spicy shredded pork chili was enjoyed by all. RECIPES to be provided in a future post, I Promise!

And then, much later.
The band returned from their photo shoot and public relations pub stops to resume rehearsals.
All was going well until a neighborhood fan called the Sherriff's Dept. Not quite 10:30pm
but the decibel reading taken from the pool deck registered a max peak of 102 (note the caption in the upper left, Average Subway.)

Yes, there's an app for that!

Ok, could have been an opportunity for involuntary detainment...
The arriving Deputy, however was a very friendly, funny and likable fellow we may be seeing at future shows. Go figure.
All in all a pleasant visit.

After a pretty full day, there's only one thing left to do...

                                                      Midnight Hot Tub Party of course.                              photo by MC

Strap yourself in and stay tuned for much more. The Party has just begun!
Don't miss Tuesday's live show at The Rock Shop and Friday at The Drunk Horse Pub.



Up Next: Tony's Photos are in!

Pool House Practice and Beer Pong

Rehearsing in a Pool House has it's advantages, the space is loud, tight and quite hot but has an attached Pool and Spa for relaxing during breaks. 
Sunday's usually offer an earlier practice and perhaps a delicious smoked grill by guitarist Chris Kane.
     Rehearsal can continue until well after sundown but these relaxing breaks offer a cool respite and
alcohol fueled creativity. 
                                                                                                                               Sunday, July 13 2014



Aquatic Beer Pong  offers a refreshing retreat from a hot Pool House practice room.

...In the beginning



This post will mark the first entry of the Bandblog for Fayetteville, North Carolina's "Am I Being Detained?"
We hope to share with our Fans, the day to day reality of all that goes on with the band.
Feel free to comment and ask questions, we always look froward to hearing from you!

But first a little background...

Am I Being Detained was formed from Chris Kane and Andrew Kreitz following Tom Ramsay, which later introduced us to Mike Kantor.  The idea was simple....  Make music that was aggressive but yet accessible to fans and people that wanted to feel part of the sound that was being created.  After waiting a while to finally confirm the project as a band it took a few practices to finally get Law Enforcement to shut us down.  Thus the name was created based off of the events that had taken place that night.  Tom Ramsay eventually came up with the name, and the detainment began.

So please come along and join us in Detention!
