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 .

Capp street is an underwater cave
Thats filled with crutches and canes
And faces that were washed away
Away from innocence and pain
They dont care who lost the one
They just wanna get the whole thing over and done
They keep me up all night
They sing songs to the moon
Wishing they could close their eyes
But theyre waiting for jacques cousteau
The girls outside theyre not waiting for the sun
They just wanna get the whole thing over and done
Seems like bowl history down
To a forty-five minute wait
A big boredom filled with stars
All burning with hate
Yeah we had a good time, we had some fun
And now we wanna get the whole thing over and done
