Frantic Clam

Frantic Clam began half a world away in the summer of 2007 when guitarist, Zack Hadley and bassist, Joe Sparks were deployed to Baqubah, Iraq with the US Army. During their 15 month deployment, the two became close friends and began writing material. Upon their return to America last winter, they began recording their first EP titled ?Celebrity.? During this time they met percussionist, Vasanth Coorg and guitarist, Jack Reid who would join the band to round out the members for an increasingly complex arrangements of their material.

Beginning in the fall of 2008, Joe Sparks had to take off time from the band to refocus his attention on personal matters closer to his home. However, Frantic Clam, in their current line up, is working on material for their sophomore release Anatomica, which is scheduled for official release January 15th, 2009 on Exemplary Records.


Frantic Clam has played dates throughout Austin and Central Texas including The Parlor, Red Eyed Fly, The Carousel Lounge and Trophy's. Future dates are being planned for The Beauty Bar, Beerland, and Emo's.
