More than a decade after his only solo visit to Kansas City -- and 19 years since his band, American Music Club, played its only local date* -- Mark Eitzel is coming back to cry for you.
Since reuniting in 2004, AMC has changed rhythm sections, but Eitzel's low wail remains the same. And the man's songwriting -- bitter laments, scathing self-reproach, acerbic political reprovals -- has only sharpened. No one song conveys the cumulative effect of an AMC album or an Eitzel performance, but check this one out anyway and reserve May 5 on your calendar.

How were the shows, Happy?
I still own several of the albums at the top of the 1988 Pazz & Jop poll, but I'd trade everything on the list for AMC's "California."
Yes, Annie, even R.E.M.'s "Green."
The afternoon of the 1989 Harling's show, AMC played a private party for- get ready for it- the Pitch staff. It was held in the parking lot of the House Distributors warehouse in Olathe. I attended both gigs. And I'm still afraid of Mark Eitzel...
