This band is all over the place this year. They play Waterloo Wed. at 5pm, SXSanJose, Paste, and the White Horse Sat. at 4:30. Per Wikipedia:
Shannon and the Clams is an indie garage punk quartet based in Oakland, California. Known for a vintage sound that incorporates elements of doo-wop, classic R&B, garage psych, and surf, Shannon and the Clams has drawn comparisons to both Buddy Holly and 1960s girl groups.
They've been around awhile but this last year brought about major trauma and change with the band. According to this article:
In August 2022, Shannon Shaw’s world was turned inside out. With mere weeks to go until their wedding, the singer’s fiancé, Joe Haener, died in a horrific car accident in front of his family’s vegetable farm in Oregon. It was a devastating loss that hit Shannon & The Clams with cataclysmic force. .. From the shock and trauma of that tragedy comes Shannon & The Clams’ latest album, The Moon Is In The Wrong Place, a powerful exploration of loss, time, love, and resilience that stands as the beloved garage band’s most ambitious, emotionally searing recording to date.
"Ozma" is one of their older songs.
"Bean Fields" is a newer one.
This is the title song of their new album. It's really good. The album doesn't come out until May 10th.
