Three years ago, I went to Gonerfest and saw Shannon and the Clams at the Saturday show at the Hi-Tone, which relocated last year. This day is almost always an overwhelming experience because the Saturday afternoon at Murphy’s has two shows going on at once: one outside in the patio and also one inside the bar. And it goes from noon to 6:00 PM. And then there’s the five-plus hours of music at the Hi-Tone, which include the Shannon and the Clams set. The whole day is a rock ‘n’ roll assault on your senses.

Since I won’t be going to Memphis this year, I’ll have to settle for seeing this band that I saw play there in the past. They have two three shows in New York, all in Brooklyn. Go see at least one of them.

Update: It appears that, as of Tuesday, September 9, all three shows are sold out.
