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 .

Pale and skinny girl lives in the middle of a mountain
Long golden hair, someone pull her out
She walks across a parking lot
With two quarters in her hand
She just wants to take a little break from nothing
Never sees the daylight
Never needs the daylight
Outside the air pocket, there's no one around
She's frozen with terror like an animal
Baby take your first walk out into the wasteland
On every horizon, nothing
