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 .

American Music Club

Back seat over the wing
And Im the happiest hot potato on the plane
Yeah Im looking Im looking its beautiful
I think I wanna go and live out there right now
Oh stewardess can you fix me some mercury
The city below me shines
I guess Im part of detriots shining dream
The ones that forget that I was ever here
The one thats going to forget that I had ever been
Oh stewardess can you fix me
Ill follow the rules if you tell me
With one of those endless smiles
I love all your little bottles of mercury
My throttles open wide
And Im wasting my life and Im wasting time
And Id give all of hitlers broad oceans
Ready to swallow detriot a million times over
The city below me shines
I guess Im part of detriots shining dream
The ones that forget that I was ever here
The one thats going to forget that I had ever been
Oh stewardess can you fix me
Ill follow the rules if you tell me
With one of those endless smiles
I love all your little bottles of mercury
My throttles open wide
And Im wasting my life and Im wasting time
And Id give all of hitlers broad oceans
Ready to swallow detriot a million times over
