The San Francisco emo-pioneers remain for those in the know, a hushed and protected secret. Since they split in 1995 after their seventh critically acclaimed album 'San Francisco', writer and frontman Mark Eitzel, has continued a solo life with a number of daring and incisive albums to his name, including 'West',a collaborative effort with REM's Peter Buck. Here's a more detailed appraisal of what makes AMC tick.

Is Mark Eitzel in the gayers now ? Smashing songs either way of course, but never heard it said and then it was mentioned in Comes With a Smile as if we all knew...I didn't.

the word is dumb-ass, and hey you caught me out but as a soundbite, how would you describe them to catch the "popular" imagination?
Re: Forget Pixies: American Music Club are back!
Absolutely! Have they no shame?

i know they are supposed to be an amazing band, very influencial, but I never really got them musically. Red House Painters were supposed to owe them a lot, but I always prefered RHP to them any day. A question about a earlier comment, what do you mean by "in the gayers" ???
I don't understand why The pixies were mentioned in the heading of the main article anyways. Totally different styles of music and Pixies were far more influecial than AMC could ever be.
All the best to their re-form anyways. It's difficult for bands to make money in the music business these days. beast of luck

I always thought AMC would go on to 'do a Velvet Underground' and to my amazement it never happened. Maybe now with the comeback people will finally wake up to the GENIUS of AMC.
I love the Pixies but AMC are far more important to those of us who have fallen under their spell.

Better than the second coming of jesus!!(tho we all secretly know that will never happen as its just not possible)
I am excited about Amc & Pixies reuions, diffrence is tho, i will travel accross the country to see amc. But i can wait till pixies do manchester or somewhere near by.
I always have liked the pixies & yeah you cant comapre the two bands at all. Though both bands blew me away(amc a hell of a lot more) But if you compare material after the bands split
Mark has gone on to do better solo albums than frank has. I got a frank black solo album"dog in the sand" i gave it one listen & 60 watt silver lining i have listend to hundreds of times. Maybe this time around Mark & amc will get the break they deserve, they bloody deserve it!!!
