about
An upbeat garage rock four-piece from Sacramento, CA. They formed in 2001 and were originally known as The Clap. The line-up was: Jason Patrone (vocals), Chris Woodhouse (guitar), Ed Carroll (drums), and Zack Olson (bass). A brief history: there was an initial CDR-EP that was recorded on Chris' 8-Track as The Clap, which later was shifted to FM Knives. This had early recordings of a few songs off of Useless & Modern, plus English Beat's "Two Swords" and The Kinks' "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy." Not too long after that all the material for Useless & Modern was recorded. The only thing from that recording that didn't make it onto the album was a re-recording of the English Beat cover. Useless & Modern was originally released as CD only by Moo-La-La Records, but more CDs wasn't what the band wanted so shortly after the Moo-La-La release the album was shifted over to Broken Rekids for a combined LP and CD release. Following that came the release of the Estrogen EP released by Smartguy Records, and a coast-to-coast tour playing at the Chicago Blackout and doing several dates with the A Frames. The band came back from the tour on the verge of ending, but still managed to record 5 new songs (2 went to a 7" for Dirtnap Records, 1 went to some Japanese comp, and the rest went nowhere). 1 more song was written after that but didn't get recorded until Lyme Regis did it ("Suffer, Suffer"). Chris had previously been in several bands, most notably Karate Party (vocals/guitar), Los Huevos
