The Bins at Lillie Coit's

​The Bins (Clark Barclay)
Thursday, July 31 · 7:30 PM at Lillie Coit’s
Early Listen: https://thebins.bandcamp.com/

​Bay Area native Clark Barclay—aka The Bins—transforms discarded dollar-bins into sonic treasure. Raised on rocks, coins, comic books and thrift-store finds, his obsessively curated mosaics splice global percussion, vintage grooves, and thrifted vinyl into hypnotic, plunderphonic soundscapes A multi-instrumentalist and collector at heart, Barclay’s sets are journeys, equal parts cultural excavation, personal reverie, and danceable déjà vu.

​With influences spanning decades and continents, The Bins weave dusty funk, obscure jazz, field recordings, and electronic textures. His 2021 release Happiness Complete epitomizes his deft sampling—melding 1960s‑70s obscurities into seamless new compositions. Expect an intimate, crate‑digging session brought to life in real time.

​Whether you're here for the sonic archaeology or the pure emotional swell, Barclay’s live experience is a rich, unpredictable feast. Prepare to be rooted in the past and propelled toward something fresh and unforgettable.

​Bring a friend, or two and enjoy the music, food, and libations with the unflappable Nick Floulis helming the bar.
