Sad Reminders. Mark Kozelek. Mark Kozelek (born January 24, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. He is best known as the vocalist and primary songwriter of both Sun Kil Moon and Red House Painters. Life and career[edit] Kozelek was born and raised in Massillon, Ohio. Upon relocating to Atlanta, Georgia, he met drummer Anthony Koutsos. After the pair moved once again to San Francisco, California, Red House Painters formed with the addition of guitarist Gorden Mack and bassist Jerry Vessel. From 1992 to 1996, Red House Painters released a series of acclaimed albums, showcasing Kozelek's intense, highly autobiographical songs. However, Kozelek's parting with the record label 4AD, followed by a major label merger which left Red House Painters' 1998 album Old Ramon on the shelf, proved highly frustrating and stifled the group's momentum.

A limited edition live recording, White Christmas Live, was released by the Sub Pop label in late 2001.
