Ex-members of weirdo-Tampa rock outfits Pickpocket and MTVH1N1 join forces with saxophonist Christopher Moore and make a live debut under the Clang! moniker. This new punk band is aware that another band with the same name used to haunt the Bay area in the mid-1990s, but this iteration isn’t trying to be your daddy’s Clang.
"Completely crazy coincidence. Didn't know this until we booked this show and others," guitarist and vocalist Brian Shields wrote to CL. "We're not changing the name, but it's causing kind of a stir with a certain scene of oldheads, interestingly enough."
Clang! w/Chaff/Fever Beam. Sat. June 2, 7 p.m. $5 donation. Microgroove, 4906 N Florida Ave., Tampa. INFO
