Shannon And The Clams w/ Cool Ghouls and The Rich Hands At Paper Tiger

We were invited out to Paper Tiger on Saturday, October 3rd, for a sold out show, and we know why! The legendary (more than) garage-punk group, Shannon and the Clams (Oakland, CA), was making a pit stop in SATX on their national tour. Joined by tour buddies, psych-rock quartet Cool Ghouls (San Francisco, CA), and San Antonio natives, The Rich Hands, The Clams shook up the St. Mary’s Strip like no other. Check out photos from the night below!

 

The Rich Hands, who are currently recording their next album, open the show on the Paper Tiger garage stage.

The high level of admiration and respect that the girls of the audience had for bassist, Shannon Shaw, was evident. I’ve never seen such a rush to the stage!

 

Birthday boy, Frank, was over the new moon to meet his hero, Shannon.
