Those that know me know I am die hard Pittsburgh...........


I heard on the local Pittsburgh station today while working the Clarks were on and they are alot since they are from here but they were talking about there new album they have out.
They also mentioned they have now hit 143 on the top 200 bands right now and were talking about going on tour next month.............


Anyone hear of them? Like them?.............Just wondering myself if they are really doing it..........Nice to see a hometown band we used to watch and still do , do well......(they have two show this Friday and Saturday) Saturday is sold out so far but seats still open for friday...


Anyhow ....Like? Dislike?.......Clarks who?

I've heard of them only because Lasher used to post stuff about them. The Clarks website has some of their music on it, they are actually pretty good. Not quite mainstream, but better than most good barbands.

I might still have the website address on my home computer. I'll post it if I find it.

I'm also a Pittsburgher, and I've seen the Clarks in concert, oh, about 100 times. They're a great band, and the new song they've been playing on the radio around here is really good. Their songs are a bit more lyrical, with a bit of a twang to it.

Actually, that 100 concert count includes dozens of Tuesday nights spent listening to the "Dick Clarks". The lead singer and the rhythm guitarist (forget their names, dammit) would go to a local bar and just do a stripped down acoustic set. I'd go out, have a few beers, listen to some tunes. Ahh...

I dunno if the Clarks will "make it" with this album. They've been on the cusp of the bigtime for their last 2 or 3 albums. They're probably the most popular band in Pittsburgh, and they tour a lot locally, so maybe they've already made it after all. If they take off even bigger, I'll be pulling for 'em. Have to take a trip out to Borders and pick up their latest.
