Mark Eitzel er drivkraften i American Music Club, men er på Musikcaféen med sine solosange akommpagneret af en pianist. Det nye album Klamath er ude. Franz Nicolay har ligeledes et album på gaden (Major General), som er blevet meget vel modtaget.

Både solo og som forsanger i kultbandet American Music Club har Mark Eitzel etableret sig som en markant figur i den moderne rockmusik. Mark Eitzel er en stemningfuld sanger, men det er især for sine sangskriverevner, at Eitzel er kendt. Med en kombination af punkens energi, den rustikke skønhed i folk og loungemusikkens melodrama bidrager Mark Eitzel med et dystert, poetisk repertoire til den moderne musikkanon.

Punknews (USA): "If you've ever seen Franz Nicolay perform with any of the handful of bands he's a part of, chances are you've fallen in love with his delightful mustachioed smile, voluptuous sideburns, skilled musicianship, or the way his free hand flails in the hair when singing backup vocals. Well, now there's a new reason to love Franz Nicolay: his songwriting...rooted in a loose foundation of equal parts folk, rock, punk and jazz, yet with the lyrical charm of a hapless proletariat poet, picking up the minutiae of living on Earth in between urban storytelling and dramatic musical interpretations. Throughout the record, Nicolay never ceases to delight with his wonderful multi-instrumental compositions, veteran musicianship and engaging insight."
