"This band belongs together ... the chemistry is still
there" -  Uncut

"Politically and emotionally unflinching, America's Greatest
Living Lyricist is back on scarifying form."
- The Guardian ****

"(Eitzel is) ... the consummate entertainer: funny, charming
and gifted with a voice that can make you swoon, shudder and
shake." - Independent on Sunday

"Bleakly beautiful" - The Independent

AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB , the San Francisco-based band whose
poignantly dark, often desperately beautiful music garnered
critical acclaim throughout the 80s and 90s, are set to
release their new album, "Love Songs For Patriots" on 6 th
September.

Featuring original members Mark Eitzel (vocals/guitar),
Danny Pearson (bass), Tim Mooney (drums) and Vudi (guitar),
along with new addition Marc Capelle (piano/trumpet), the
13-song album blends American Music Club's unique mix of
rock, folk, country and jazz with Eitzel's ever-present
acerbic, brutally honest lyrics.   From the first few bars
of "Ladies And Gentlemen" it's obvious that the band is back
in full force.

Formed in 1983, American Music Club produced music that
reflected America ... a blend of free-form jazz tendencies
and Eitzel's down beat poetics. His talent landed him Best
Songwriter accolades in Rolling Stone's Critics Poll, which
also deemed the group a "Hot Band" pick.   After releasing
five, much lauded, full-length records on a handful of indie
labels, American Music Club signed to a major in 1993 and
released "Mercury", considered a masterpiece of modern rock
music and the band's most focused album to date.   After
non-stop touring in '94, the group put out their seventh
release titled "San Francisco", which laid claim to their
birthplace and featured an introspective collection of songs
that twisted and turned like the ambivalent emotions that
created them. That ambivalence was fortuitous as American
Music Club called it quits, amicably, in 1995.

Separately, the band continued musically. Eitzel released a
trove of much-loved solo efforts, Pearson went on to play
with Clodhopper and release quality solo records, Mooney
took on life as a producer and Vudi fronted an L.A. Band
called Clovis de Foret.

In the summer of 2003, Mooney phoned his American Music Club
band mates to ask about recording a new album. The songs
Eitzel had written laid the seed for what would become their
new record, "Love Songs For Patriots".
