History

After Jeff Buckley's death, Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred formed Black Beetle, along with Tighe's musician girlfriend Joan Wasser. When Black Beetle split, with Wasser embarking on a solo career, Tighe and Kindred formed The A.M., along with bassist Andrew Wyatt. Their self-titled album was issued in 2003 on Storm Music. With influences ranging from 1970s glam rock to Joy Division and The Smiths, their sound has seen comparisons with Suede, David Bowie, King Crimson, Roxy Music, and T.Rex. 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.
