Massillion, Ohio (1967 – present)

Mark Kozelek (born 1967 in Massillion, Ohio) is an American singer-songwriter and frontman of Sun Kil Moon and Red House Painters.

Originally a lynchpin of the slowcore movement in alternative rock with Red House Painters, Kozelek’s harrowing autobiographical lyrics gave unflinchingly detailed accounts of pain, despair and loss while the lengthy accompanying music was slow, intense, dissonant and bleak. As time has passed, his music has become more acoustic and folk-inflected, while his lyrics now seem obsessed with memory, geography and those who died before their natural time, arguably best demonstrated on Sun Kil Moon’s Ghosts of the Great Highway.

Kozelek was a troubled child, born in Ohio and allegedly addicted to drugs by the age of 10. He entered rehab a few years later and clung to music and songwriting to get him through the days.

I agree, I just watched almost famous, and I wish there was a lot more of just mark singing. as it is, you can only hear a few seconds.

Followed the UK/Ireland/NYC leg of his tour, think I may have freaked him out a bit in the process, but you haven't felt music until you've seen him live.

I wish Mark would do a few more movies. I mean, his role in Shopgirl was awesome, but the movie sucked. And when he starts singing Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous... jizz in my pants. And then there's his line in Vanilla Sky, which is made out of 100% win.

'Find me, Ruben Olivares' is just stunning! Can't wait to obtain this, together with 'Lost Verses Live', the other livetape that should come out soon.
