Biography:
The Wrens formed in the late 1980s in New Jersey, consisting of Charles Bissell (guitar, vocals), Greg Whelan (Whelan G. E.) (guitar, vocals), Kevin Whelan (Sett) (bass, keys, vocals), and Jerry MacDonnell (Jerome MACDonnell) (drums). Their influences range from Guided by Voices to the Pixies, but they have developed a unique sound since their initial formation.
The Wrens are known for their explosive stage presence, despite each member being well past 35, and are steadily gaining a fanbase across the world.

Band: The Wrens
Song: Thirteen Grand
Album: The Meadowlands
For the C/B, C/A and C/G chords i just keep dropping the C note on the A string of the
C chord, in case anyone doesn't know those chord positions.
Also, this is the bit played overtop. I'm not sure if it's a slide that plays it or not,
think it is but anyways i'll tab it out both ways.
