He appears to be ok, or at least he is facebooking again, if that is anything to go by.&nbsp;

Per Chris Metzler via Facebook: "Mark had a heart attack the night before last. It was pretty bad but he is doing ok at the hospital now and getting a lot of needed rest. He seems to be in good spirits." I think I speak for us all when I say our thought are with him.

If you are in San Fran on the 30th April then you could pop along to the OmniCircus and catch Danny Pearson and the Toiling Midgets on the same bill. &nbsp;Who knows, they may play some new material.

Looks like quite a lot of Mark at SXSW on&nbsp;YouTube&nbsp;at the moment. There is even a new tune right down the bottom.

If you are going to SXSW then you will have seven chances to see Mark Eitzel doing his stuff.

It seems that Mark Eitzel is going to be reading from the autobiography of Justin Bieber (or possibly Marilyn Manson) as part of Noise Pop 2011. Thursday, February 24, 2011 Doors: 7:00 PM / SHOW: 7:30 PM MAKE-OUT ROOM SAN FRANCISCO, CA $10.00

If you are lucky enough to be going to SXSW this year then you might catch Mark and Marc doing their "Songs of the American Music Club" set again. &nbsp;It is billed as the AMC but it isn't. &nbsp;Still, should be worth catching though as he might try out some of his new tunes.

There is a new post on Marks blog that says that he has a new solo acoustic album in the works. I am making a record called 'The Bill Is Due'. It is taking a while because I keeping writing new songs for it - and throwing old songs away. So far there are 13. I think it is great. I am proud. My plan is to make an acoustic album. Just guitar and vocal. Maybe one other instrument or a backing vocal.

It looks like Danny Pearson is doing a support slot at the Make Out Room in SF on Sunday the 30th Jan.

Over at the Merge web site Mark Eitzel has posted his top 10 cultural hilights of 2010. &nbsp;Strangely enough, number 1 was getting his musical produced.

Nothing to report really. Marks blog is worth a quick read as he has started posting again. &nbsp;A dream about Vic Chestnut and musings on why he isn't playing Vegas? Also Jace Everett likes the American Music Club.

At least three years in the making, Marine Parade had its debut in Brighton, the city it was set in and Mark Eitzels favourite new town. Why Brighton? As well as the large gay population it also had a bit of a seedy reputation. If you were going to have a dirty weekend away somewhere with the girlfriend/secretary then it was going to be Brighton. The play with songs is set in one of the guest

Here is a bit of Mark Eitzel singing “I live in this place”. It is an out take from tonights Culture Show.

Feeling a bit nostalgic? Then pop over to Bruce Kaphans website and check out the page for his new album Hybrid. Like his first solo album Slider, its an all instrumental affair but listening to the clips of the tunes, you can't help but think back to his contribution to Everclear. The slides and the twangs take you back to the last time they really sounded alt-country. It is released the 1st

A quick note from Marks mangement ...Also Mark will be performing as well with the Marine Parade band doing some scenes from the Musical on the Culture Show for BBC which will go out on the 20th. This is the biggest UK TV show Mark has done in quite some time. It is being filmed next Monday in London so you may be able to get tickets somehow to see it taped.Here comes the big time.

While they are waiting for Mark to write the next American Music Club album, the rest of the band have been keeping themselves busy. Former American Music Club member Sean Hoffman has a new band called Loch and Key."(Along with visual artist Leyla Akdogan) they just finished their record called "Jupiter's Guide For Submariners". Vudi plays guitar on "In the Town of the Queen of the Angels", "

It looks like Mark Eitzel is out on the road in Feb/March as the US support for The Magnetic Fields. It is more than likely solo shows and not the AMC as suggested.

I have been meaning to blog about the passing of Mr Chesnutt for a while now, as I was a fan. I had a few of his albums and had seen him half a dozen times, including once with the Undertow Orchestra. While life was never easy for him he seemed a fighter and as long as there was the promise of some weed at the end, he always put on a good show. The Undertow Orchestra gig was special as Mark
