American Music Club(often abbreviated AMC) is a San Francisco-based band led by singer-songwriter Mark Eitzel. They've been recording and playing in SF clubs since the mid 1980's, showing a remarkable longevity for a band that has been far more critically acclaimed than financially successful. Although commonly lumped with other bands from the " slowcore" and " sadcore" movements, like the Red House Painters, AMC is better known for mastering the disparate strands of American music into a wholly unique synthesis all their own. Although born in California, frontman Mark Eitzel spent his formative years in Great Britain and Ohio before returning to the Bay Area in 1980. After a brief stint with the punk band he founded American Music Club in 1983 with guitarist Vudi, bassist , keyboardist Brad Johnson, and drummer .

Big Night Lyrics

American Music Club

Big nights are black and blue
They get cold and they get wet
And theyre calling out for you
Like no one you ever met
No one dreams in the hours around me
The more I lose the more you find me
I lose track with every kiss
We shouldnt be isolated like this
Yeah, youre my friend
And when were lost Ill still hold your hand
Revealed in white when the shadows fail
In any shadow that you can name
Ill be the shadow of your name
Hold the prize close to your heart
Prizes made for those who failed
Hold the prize away from you
So maybe you can hold me as well
When time peels off your statued skin
Ill still be fooled by what remains
Yeah whatevers left of you will be my dream
Yeah, youre my friend
And when were drunk
Ill still hold your hand
Revealed in white when the shadows fail
In any shadow that you can name
Ill be the shadow of your name
In any shadow that you name
Ill be the shadow of the name
Ill be the shadow of your name
