CLAMBAKE BIOS PAGE

Legendary rock band "Clambake" was formed in 1994 in Bellingham, Washington by Jim Nauseam and Patty Melt. Since then they have taken the genre of garage rock to a new level. The electric riffs ring with a resonance handed down from generations of rock-and-roll disciples. The lyricals are refreshing, unique and often hilarious. They have formulated a sound unparalleled in their generation, evidenced by their army of loyal fans across the world!

Since their first gig at Speedy O'Tubbs Rythmic Underground in Bellingham in the summer of 1994, the band has undergone some personnel changes (Hugh Organ on keys 1994-1996, Reed Valvoline on sax 1995-1996, Patty Melt 1994-1996) but has settled on the classic line-up of Jim Nauseam on guitar and vocals, Slim Fast on guitar and vocals, Martian Jones on Bass and vocals, and Johnny Venom on drums and vocals.

TFO is the follow up album to their 2000 release "Hello Dalai" on Square Records (now out of print). You can check the breadclip radio station and hear some of the tracks though. Hell, if you want to send us a blank CDR we'll send our office boy down to the basement of the Breadclip World Headquarters to burn a copy of it. Someday if we sell a whole bunch more TFO's we'll run some more Hello Dalai's.
