Clam Abuse

[Andy_Must_Be_Destroyed]

I really didn't know where to put this. So I just put it here.

Anyway, I can't believe how under-rated Clam Abuse are. That album is totally awesome!

Favourite tracks?

I found my copy in a bargain bin at Paddington Station - I seem to recall Ginger saying he was proud of the fact that someone (not me) had told him they found a copy in one.

Still £7 even as a bargain, mind.

Their mauling of "I Think I Love You" is my favourite...

oh great now I've got "a message to geri" stuck in my head and I can't listen to it coz I'm at work. did any one see clam abuse live? did they actually get round to playing any songs or was it just arsing about?

I didn't see them live, but apprently it was just them two with a backing tape. The tape wasn't just the album though, they'd recorded it all again with like, improvised jams at the beginnings and stuff like that, to make it sound more natural I think.

I saw them live in the G2 in Glasgow years and years ago. Weird gig as they did it entirely in character, with the face paint, american accents and everything.

I seem to recall that ginger got annoyed at someone in the crowd who kept pulling on the mic stand and threw his guitar at them but hit the wrong person. He did make an apology on the then silverginger.co.uk site.

Got the T-Shirt too, "Nevermind the scallops, Here's Clam Abuse", never wear it cause its a minging green colour.

I think a follow-up album is well overdue.......

I was there too!

Quite surreal, every expecting rock and then the drum loops started.

The guy who tried to steal Ginger's microphone also tried to start a mosh pit.


I spoke to Alex Kane about a CLam Abuse follow up, his reply was "It'll hapen when Hell freezes over".

Now he and Ginger have had a fall out, I can't see it ever being done.
