WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

New American Music Club Album Slated For Early '08

Posted over 2 years ago
San Francisco based American Music club have announced they will release ??The Golden Age?? in February 2008. The album is proceeded by 2004's ??Love Songs for Patriots??(Merge), which broke the group's ten year hiatus.AMC mainstays Mark Eitzel and Vudi team up with "the new guys" Sean Hoffman and Steve Didelot for this the 9th full length recording from American Music Club.From the group's blog :The overall sound is lighter than on previous AMC recordings. Of course there are many reasons why. 1) AMC refutes the label of 'Emo Pioneers'. For the record they hate Emo and have never been on the soundtrack for any W.B. network show. (yet) 2) Dark music is for people who are healthy enough to take it - and AMC want to appeal to all people - including the sick. 3) Mark Eitzel comments: "What will my neighbors in my retirement community think? How will I charm the nurse that tends to me? I want to fill my mouth with sugar and spit it on everyone when I talk. I want to cover the world with chocolate cake icing."??Mark Eitzel??Yes there is a song about the World Trade Center. But such controversy is nothing new for this 'Right On' political band. Sean (bass) is a right leaning liberal texan who hates NPR and is the proud owner of a Segway. Vudi (guitar) dreams of an imperialist world of powdered wigs and waltz's in ballrooms. Mark (vocals) is a gay communist who once wrote an article: 'How Secure Will Your House Be During The Apocalypse'. Steve (drums) is a Christian activist who only plays in this band because the end times are upon us and what the fuck.??The Golden Age?? will be released on February 18 via Merge Records. Tracklisting: All My Love The Victory Choir The Decibels and The Little Pills The Sleeping Beauty The Stars All The Lost Souls Welcome You To San Francisco Who You Are The Windows On The World One Step Ahead The Dance I Know That's Not Really You On My Way The Grand Duchess Of San Franciscohttp://www.myspace.com/americanmusicclub
