Shannon and the Clams

Shannon and the Clams were born to play a venue like Spirit. Think doo-wop, surf rock and garage psych rolled into one glorious Californian four-piece, and you’ve got these guys down to a T. But the fun doesn’t stop there: The Clams are as surprising as they are interesting, and there’s no way a living, breathing, sentient person couldn’t enjoy themselves at one of its shows. Listen to “The Boy,” and bask in the rockabilly sounds, baby. Local support from Painted Eyes and Thousandzz of Bees is going to send you whirling. - Emily Bennett
