Biography

The Chicago duo of Tom Fitzgerald and Nick Macri has been otherwise known as C-Clamp since their 1995 formation. With their front of melodic but elaborate indie pop, their averaging length of six-minute songs were first captured on the 1996 EP Meander + Return. Following The Saving Daylight single that same year, Ohio Gold Records contributed in the release of the album Longer Waves in 1999. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide

Band history

Sometimes referred to as slowcore, C-Clamp placed emphasis on mood, texture and rhythm. Known for their dense layering and simple, yet beautiful vocal harmonies, C-Clamp released only two full length albums in their career. Although they performed live infrequently, they managed to share the stage with many noteworthy bands of that era, including Braid, Castor, Dianogah, Karate and Hum[1].

Nick Macri went on to perform in the bands Heroic Doses, Euphone, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Lonesome Organist, The Analog Reception, and The Zincs, as well as with the artists Bobby Conn and Jeremy Enigk[2].
