the Pretentious Pretenses Brooklyn, New York
2006 found Eric Claptop fronting a drug-addled band amidst a sold-out European tour in support of the Secret Machines. A
public firing of his band attracted the likes of VICE & the "Chronicles of NaNaNa" was tracked to tape. The debut LP was released in late 2008 to an unknown swarm of hipster pudding.
Mr. Claptop has since released a pair of solo records & 5 Proper LPs with the band.
