HAPPY CLAMS evolved from GAIL & THE FUDGEPACKERS, who are best (or only?) known for a couple of shows at Gilman their STIFF KITTENS cover on the first Shredder comp. There was a short and glorious iteration as JACK'N JILL that recorded (and never released, apparently) a few songs before branding themselves HAPPY CLAMS and setting out on a decades long mission to create whatever the fuck kind of racket they wanted to make. Imagine Doc Dart (or in this case, Paul Pot) sitting in for the San Francisco DICKS, this is the sound of rock 'n roll rebels turned punk rock rejects. The best part? They still play, and it certainly seems like they still don't give half a fuck, which is probably why it hits so right.
