Music: Rock/Pop American Music Club w/ Rykarda Parasol and the Tower Ravens

  • 420490857_l_large

Of rock 'n roll's many princes of darkness, American Music Club singer Mark Eitzel has the market cornered on barroom laments. Family, love, and politics are all fair game in Eitzel's somber verses, as his band's eclectic folk-rock arrangements shore up his bleaker visions. AMC first emerged in San Francisco in the mid-'80s with albums like The Restless Stranger and California, and though they never shot for mainstream success, the band developed a dedicated following on the strength of its old-fashioned integrity. Eitzel and Co. returned from a ten-year hiatus with 2004's Love Songs for Patriots, and while AMC have since reformed in Los Angeles, the band remains a proud SF institution.
