Red House Painters

Profile:
Formed : 1989 // San Francisco, CA, United States
Members : Mark Kozelek (vocals, guitar), Gordon Mack (guitar), Anthony Koutsos (drums), Jerry Vessel (bass), Phil Carney (guitar)
With songs that varied in tone from light acoustic numbers to more powerful, though still restrained, plugged-in tracks,The Red House Painters established themselves as one of the premier indie rock outfits of the mid-'90s. Led by singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek the Painters documented the dark and dirty side of human nature. Without using the safety net provided by metaphor, Kozelek, a self-professed agoraphobic with a ghostly voice reminiscent of Tim Buckley, airs myriad insecurities and emotional inconstancies over his quartet's skeletal backing.
