The hurry up and waiting of a Rock n’ Roll life can often be the catalyst
for a good story.   Clumsy was the brainchild of the boredom and bottled up energy of four musician friends, from three separate bands, in one Hollywood apartment.  The NOOdS, (we had a bunch of SPOON stickers turned upside down and Britt kept the stickers coming) Marc, (that’s me) Robert (Perfect) Mike (GooGooDolls) and Jeff (The Customers) wrote some tunes played some gigs, and eventually turned into a band. Mike, being methodical, decided the name must change and through an odd process combining a “list of favorites” with some actuary science we came up with Clumsy.  (Good name huh?) It was about this time the GooGooDolls took off, Jeff’s advertising career blossomed, Perfect died and Robert returned to Dallas, so I went to NYC for a year. There I resuscitated Clumsy by recording demos with my childhood friend Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors).
 
I joined up with Robert in Dallas (our hometown), along with Michael Brien (The Clowns) and Nate Fowler (American Fuse) where we signed up with Idol Records. The next three years would see one rocking CD Center of Attention Deficit Disorder and several line up changes -On guitar, Nate for Corey, (The Burden Brothers). On Drums, Michael was replaced by David Mabry (formerly of Pleasant Grove). On bass, oh the bass… Robert Cooper for Kinley Wolfe  (American Fuse, The Cult) who was replaced by Kevin (we are not sure who this guy is!) who filled in for Robert who begot  Joseph Nedwed (Chinese Stars)  who toured for Robert. Thank God for good, steady Corey Rozzoni! Clumsy played our last show on November 16, 2002.
