How it all began... back on January 25th, 2019, for a special one night ONLY event, 2 of the guys from Clamdigger and the 2 ladies from Auntie Trainwreck got together at Greendale's Pub for a never before seen or heard musical excursion that we dubbed "Clamwrecker". Frankly, we thought it would NEVER happen again, but we've since realized you should never say never, 'cause when Kenny calls, we lis
ten! We ended up playing at Greendale's again in April, July and August of 2019 before we finally decided that maybe we were a real band and made a page. Then, during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020/2021, we put in lot of hard work to expand our set list to play some live streams and outdoor shows, and decided that we'd like to start playing more regularly, and at a larger variety of venues in the area. In light of the evolution we experienced during that year and a half, we also decided to move forward with a different name- Bender. You'll still get many of the favorites you know and love from us, and plenty of new and different tunes as well. Yes, we still play your favorite songs from the 60's through the 90's, and yes, we're demented and sad, but social! Our playlist includes some of our favorite songs by The Cars, The Pretenders, Matthew Sweet, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, The Smithereens, The GoGo's, Gin Blossoms, Three Dog Night, Kim Wilde, The Allman Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty and plenty of random surprises you're sure to enjoy!
