Like Claws! is Zack Bolotin and Jason Clackley. Zack was playing most of these songs at acoustic shows and with a different drummer. They went on two West Coast tours and played together for about a year until last winter when Jason joined. Since January, the band has been on a few tours from Seattle to Austin, Texas. These songs are sometimes played pretty quietly and sometimes louder.

We've played with these fantastic bands/people: Shook Ones, Chuck Ragan, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, Defiance Ohio, Paul Baribeau, and more.

Saturday shall be amaaaaazing. I think a handful of "nwpb"-ers will show up. I've never seen them live but I've heard they're one of the best live bands! EXCITEMENT!
In any event, I hope you guys have an awesome set tomorrow & get to enjoy the entire show :D! Get some rest, Zack!
I didn't realize what an exhausting few weeks you've been having! Chris told me you were the only employee!!?? That's too hardcore, Zack. Too hardcore. I may go on Friday, I haven't got a return ride figured out yet. I may leave early to figure bus routes into the equation if I go. There are so many bands playing that night! I'll be at the Weakerthans for sure, though! We'll hang out one of these days...
CONGRATULATIONS!!! that's really fucking awesome! good for you.
