Clem Snide is an alt-country indie rock project from New York, NY and Nashville, TN consisting of songwriter/singer/guitarist Eef Barzelay, and a rotation of musicians. Primarily an outlet for Barzelay, the band consisted chiefly of bassist/cellist Jason Glasser through mid-2006, as well as more recent members including multi-instrumentalist Pete Fitzpatrick, and his cousin Brendan Fitzpatrick.
“Clem Snide” is a character in several novels by William S. Burroughs, including Naked Lunch, The Ticket That Exploded, and Exterminator!. The band formed in 1991, when Barzelay wanted an outlet for his songwriting, but separated in 1994 after releasing a couple of 7” singles. A few years later, Barzelay met back up with Glasser and began writing songs again, performing under the name Fruit Key. After adding a bassist and drummer, they reclaimed the name Clem Snide, recorded songs, continued performing, and, in 1998, issued their first album, You Were a Diamond (produced by Adam Lasus) on Tractor Beam Records. This album received some short-term major label attention, enough for Clem Snide to release their second album, Your Favorite Music, on Sire Records, before being dropped prior to the album’s release.
In 2001, Clem Snide released the album The Ghost of Fashion, which received some extra press due to the song “Moment in the Sun” being featured as the theme song for the second season of the NBC program Ed, after the show lost the rights to the Foo Fighters’ “Next Year”.

Hey does anyone have an idea who 'recites the poem' in "Encounter at 3 am" off their new album? Or is that just Eef Barzelay himself? It kinda reminds me of "Black Building" by Kashmir.. (though I'm pretty sure this isn't Lou Reed)

Good to have you back, boys (boy?) As much as I love Eef, "Lose Big" was a bit heavy-handed for me. The arrangements, orchestration, songwriting, everything(!) are vastly improved on this long-delayed would-be swan-song.
