Clem Snide簡介
Clem Snide is an alt-country band featuring Eef Barzelay (guitar, vocals), Brendan Fitzpatrick (bass) and Ben Martin (drums).
"Clem Snide" is a character in several novels by William S. Burroughs, including Naked Lunch, The Ticket That Exploded, and Exterminator!. The band Clem Snide was started by songwriter and singer Eef Barzelay, Jason Glasser, and drummer Eric Paull in Boston in 1991. A few years later, with the addition of bassist Jeff "SweetBread" Marshall, the band made its first record, You Were a Diamond with producer Adam Lasus. After building up a local following they attracted the attention of the Seymour Stein who signed them to the Sire label for whom they recorded Your Favorite Music in 1999.
A couple years later Clem Snide released their third album The Ghost of Fashion on indie stalwart SpinArt Records. The record received some mainstream attention due to the song "Moment in the Sun", which was used as the theme song for the second season of the NBC program Ed. After an ill-fated post-9/11 tour, the band began to unravel but not before completing two more records: Soft Spot (2003) and End of Love (2005). After beginning work on another record, the strains of life in the music industry became too great and Clem Snide broke apart. Barzelay went on to release two solo records, Bitter Honey and Lose Big.
In 2009, the group re-banded and released their sixth record Hungry Bird on 429 Records. On February 23, 2010, Clem Snide released their seventh long-player, The Meat Of Life also on 429 Records.
