Seattle Honors the Clash By Declaring 'International Clash Day'
Radio station KEXP celebrating early with 12 hours of Clash classics, rarities and interviews


Seattle Mayor Ed Murray has honored rock legends the Clash by declaring Sunday, February 7th "International Clash Day" in the city, joining King County, Washington and Bridgewater, UK in that recognition.

"One February mooring in 2013, KEXP DJ John Richards arbitrarily declared it 'International Clash Day' for no other reason than the fact that he could," the statement continues. The traditional has continued every year since, featuring rare and live tracks, cover versions, B sides and more.

Radio station KEXP is celebrating on Friday, February 5th, with 12 hours of Clash music (including side projects and rare tracks) and interviews, broadcasting from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST on Seattle's 90.3 and around the world on KEXP.org. The event will include an exclusive interview with Julien Temple, director of award-winning 2007 documentary Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten. A stream is available below.

KEXP is known for its themed music events. Last year, the station honored the anniversary of Beastie Boys' iconic Paul's Boutique with a full day of programming featuring the full track list and over 115 songs sampled across the LP.

I hope they keep up with it.

4 years ago, Portland (Oregon) officially declared Ray Davies Day on July 15th, 2012........Ray played a concert in Portland (I was there).
The city has been honoring/mentioning it July 15th ever since.
