To celebrate their highly regarded comeback album 'Love Songs For Patriots', US cult band American Music Club have announced an eleven date British tour for January and February 2005.

After the band broke up in 1995, their mercurial frontman and songwriter Mark Eitzel released a string of solo albums through the intervening years. Now the band is back together again, Eitzel is where he belongs and his oak matured writing has never sounded so good.
