History
After Jeff Buckley's death, Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred formed Black Beetle, along with Buckley's last girlfriend Joan Wasser.[1] When Black Beetle split, with Wasser embarking on a solo career, Tighe and Kindred formed The A.M., along with bassist Andrew Wyatt.[2] Their self-titled album was issued in 2003 on Storm Music. With influences ranging from 1970s glam rock to Joy Division and The Smiths,[3] their sound has seen comparisons with Suede,[2] David Bowie, King Crimson,[4] Roxy Music, and T.Rex.[5] As well as playing around the United States, they toured the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2003/4, as well as a date in Paris, receiving a positive critical reaction.[6][7][8]
