China Clipper = Dish Washer

We’ve been around since 2001 when Mike Suzick and I started playing as an acoustic duo in my bedroom. We have since gone electric and are now a foursome with the addition of Aaron Gaither (bass) and Matt Labarber (keys, percussion, vocals). We write Zeppelin-Beatles-ZZTop-influenced rock and roll and have been known to perform ruinous versions of our favorite R+B songs. We love to sing and play more than anyone I know. Our goal is to write heartfelt music that is interesting to listen to. Support local music, but only if it's good.
Much love,

2005
China Clippers, Mighty Long Crawl China Clippers compare themselves to bands like Modest Mouse and Dashboard Confessional, but their music is more akin to the token sensitive-side acoustic numbers on early '90s grunge albums. In order for something to have a shelf life, people have to want it in the first place. -San Diego CityBeat

The China Clippers' guitarist used to be in Rust, who were briefly signed to a major label and toured with Tool and the Meat Puppets. They weren't that good. Neither is China Clippers. MS/chinaclippers.
