Trash ClamsTomorrowIndie
Fri, Sep 11 · Alex's Bar · Long Beach
  • General Live-Music Room

Trash Clams leans on a trashy surf/garage band name and small club billing context. Alex's Bar is the right room for loud guitars and a low ceiling.

Neo FilthNext few nightsOffbeatIndie
Sun, Sep 13 · Alex's Bar · Long Beach
  • General Live-Music Room

Neo Filth is a guitar set built on volume, edges, and immediacy. The late Sunday live set gets a more revealing room at Alex's Bar, which helps when the music has real edges.
