amc reunion interview

Really nice interview with Mark Eitzel about the American Music Club reunion. Mark comes across as much more sane than usual.
His best line, in reference to some, er, lifestyle issues that once troubled AMC drummer Tim Mooney: “He had personal problems that made it inconvenient for him to be part of the band. Put it this way: At the time he was a close personal friend of Courtney Love.”
The new AMC album comes out next week in the U.K., but unfortunately not for another month in the States. They play the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas on October 26.
One other bizarre Eitzel update: He provided vocals for a strange ’70s singer-songwriter parody project called Devon Shire, part of the Clubbo fake record label. Explanation of this strange situation from Paul Boutin here.
Finally, a few other Dallas-area shows worth attending in the near future: Sloan, Trees, Sept. 16; Starlight Mints, Gypsy, Oct. 1; Guided By Voices, Gypsy, Oct. 3; Gift of Gab, Trees, Oct. 6.; Ted Leo, Gypsy, Oct. 29.
