((The Clams)) Band Profile and Upcoming Los Angeles Concerts - Oh My Rockness

The Clams are a trio out of Chicago that play slow-going swirling psych with some nicely placed distorted jam-outs to keep things kicking. I suggest listening to these harmonies on a hammock somewhere, and let the melodic drones and deep tones take you to some place peaceful.

But I don't really recommend falling asleep, because The Clams' rock-outs are just right around the corner and will wake your relaxed ass up in a heartbeat. And who wants to wake with a panicked start in a hammock? That just leads to overturned hopes and dreams.

Anyway, I've just started listening to these guys and I don't know a whole lot more about them. But I do know that The Clams jams have managed to get in my head and seem to be sticking around in there for awhile. You should check these dudes out.
