"Robot Hive / Exodus" Expanded Reissue + DVD

CLUTCH Announce Details of "Robot Hive / Exodus" Expanded Reissue + DVD
Add Headlining Appearances to US Tour w/ Black Label Society and Children of Bodom!




Maryland hard rock band Clutch is coming up on their 20th year, maintaining a consistent following with constant touring, unique wit, and fearless tendency to mix metal with genres like blues and funk. - Billboard

With over a dozen recordings, Clutch has routinely pushed itself creatively for each album. The progress has been subtle enough that the band has never been accused of abandoning its core musical ideals, yet noticeable enough to create an expectation for new sets of ideas with each new release. - Relix

Clutch have announced the track listing for the expanded-dual disc edition re-issue of "Robot Hive/Exodus" which will be released worldwide on September 28th through Weathermaker Music. Currently out of print, "Robot Hive/Exodus" was at one point the band's largest selling title of the decade due to the strength of its three extremely powerful yet diverse singles, "Burning Beard," "10001110101" and "Mice & Gods." In addition to upgraded artwork and new "digi" packaging, this expanded edition will feature a bonus DVD which includes a classic 33 minute outdoor performance recorded on location at the Sounds of the Underground festival in July of 2005 in Sayreville, NJ. Also included is the Jeremy Hunt directed "Burning Beard" video clip, which was the first ever Clutch single to reach the "year end" Top 10 most played on MTV's Headbanger's Ball.

In total, the "Robot Hive/Exodus" re-issue contains 23 songs and over 90 minutes of music. This is the second of three planned extended double disc re-issues, as Weathermaker has already released "From Beale Street to Oblivion" in July, and plans to issue forth the "Blast Tyrant" package in November. For the uber Clutch fan and/or retro rocker, Weathermaker will see to it that all three releases will make thier way onto limited edition vinyl.

On September 22nd, Clutch will embark on a nine week tour with Black Label Society and Children of Bodom. In addition to 40+ dates with Zakk Wylde's widely popular hard rock act, the veteran rock band from Maryland have just announced six headline concerts that will be placed within the Fall tour, giving their North American fanbase close to 50 opportunities to see the band perform a combination of classic Clutch material as well as current fan favorites like "50,000 Unstoppable Watts," "Let a Poor Man Be" and "Abraham Lincoln" from the band's latest, Top 40 soundscan charting, "Strange Cousins From the West" full-length album.

FALL NORTH AMERICAN TOUR WITH BLACK LABEL SOCIETY
Following a calendar year of worldwide headline touring behind their career best Top 35 soundscan CD Strange Cousins From the West and subsequent critically acclaimed Top 10 Dual DVD Live at the 9:30, CLUTCH announced they will share the stage with hard rock acts Black Label Society and Children of Bodom on the 37 date "Black Label Bezerkerus North American Tour" this Fall. Clutch will perform as direct support to Zakk Wylde's longtime band on almost 2 dozen of the concerts which kick off in Vancouver on September 22nd and finish up the weekend before Thanksgiving in San Francisco.  Check out the dates below for the complete list of dates.

"Clutch's recent hard-nose work ethic is unparalled by today's standard rock acts. The past 12-18 months have been the busiest time period of Clutch," stated label manager Jon Nardachone, referring to Clutch's THREE Bonnaroo sets, played within 24 hours in the smoldering 100 heat on the June 11th and 12th weekend. Nardachone adds "They feed off the energy of the greatest diehard fans in the world. We all wonder how they get up for it night after night after night, but as I witnessed 10,000+ rock & roll crazies simultaneously chanting 'Bang Bang Bang Bang! Vamanos! Vamanos!' in the middle of the Tennessee night, it all makes sense."



BEALE STREET AND OTHER DRT RE-ISSUES ARE COMING
Weathermaker has announced July 20th as the official release date for the first of three 2010 re-issues from the band's DRT years. The enhanced, expanded edition of From Beale Street to Oblivion will be a 22 song, double CD not only features multiple versions of the band's widely popular blues rock anthem "Electric Worry," but includes 5 songs recorded at the Maida Valle Sessions at the world famous BBC studios in London, and 4 songs recorded live in Australia, as well as updated and upgraded artwork and packaging. From Beale Street to Oblivion isn't the only re-issue in the works either. Weathermaker will re-issue Robot Hive/Exodus in September and Blast Tyrant in November, also as dual disc/expanded editions. Look for special vinyl versions of all the re-issues as well.

"Live at the 9:30" DVD Review

05/21/2010

Nearly 20 years of working on the gig-and-purge shift has allowed Clutch to really refine their collective vice-like grip on their material, and man, does it show on their exhilarating two-film, two-DVD set. Live at the 9:30, features the entire thrust of their 90-minute gig from Washington D.C.’s 9:30 club on December 28, 2009. Fortune Tellers Make a Killing Nowadays, another 90-minute film, follows the Maryland band from the western United States to eastern Canada, offering behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with the band, crew, management, and fans in every city along their path.

And these fans are loyal. This is a Maryland band that has slowly metamorphosized out of the dawn of the grunge and post-hardcore era, and found itself with a completely unique sound, which gathers together strands of hard rock, metal, prog, psychedelic shades and colors, and funk to create a genre onto themselves. With nary a nod to current influences, Clutch manages to sound fresh and contemporary by focusing on the almighty riff as its core foundation. The D.C. gig, which includes the band covering their entire 1995 self-titled album, sandwiched in between old and new favorites, is excellent and quite a souvenir for that longtime fan, or an opportunity for a new fan to see what it is this quartet does to keep its groove.

Band interviews feature each musician discussing how they continue to work on their craft, and hone their sound to perfection, keeping themselves open to new ideas within their two-decade adventure. Frontman/vocalist/guitarist Neil Fallon is the soul of the band, crafting ingenious reams of lyrics while roaring out vocals on stage. Bassist Dan Maines with his witty asides and textbook engine room rhythm work helps solidify the band’s sound. Lead guitarist Tim Sult, with his classic Gibson Les Paul guitar, Marshall and Orange amp setups, offers hard rock motifs and psychedelic imagery, which is also almost AC/DC meets Parliament/Floydian in its simplicity, but also damned original.

However, one thing is strikingly obvious as both films unfold in a truly memorable and exciting fashion. It’s drummer Jean-Paul Gaster’s world. We just live in it. The skinsmith comes across as an expert student of the drum kit, even practicing after gigs according to stage manager and drum tech, Chase Lapp. But the veteran drummer is also an insightful spokesman for not only his band, but rock music, in general. One can tell that the man likes to have his fun, but he also has that timeless laser-like focus on his work, which is quite compelling to watch. Indeed, after watching and listening to numerous drummers over the years, one is hard-pressed to find a more inventive, powerful, and talented drummer, outside the likes of Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham.

Both DVDs are superb audio and visual documents, which help underline the fact that many have followed in the wake of their 1991 debut—indeed, the second DVD includes 1991 and 1992 archival footage—playing variations of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or, even earlier, Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer, but few bands have been as consistently true to its essence with the dynamic vigor of a medieval craftsman’s perfectionism as Clutch.

UPDATES

2010 will prove to be the busiest calendar year for Clutch. To start off the inaugural Newsletter, let's begin with a live DVD announcement!

On May11th Clutch will issue a brand new epic DVD set called Live at the 9:30. The 200 minute double disc concert will be sold at the fan friendly price of $19.98.

DISC 1 FEATURES
The 90 minute full concert filmed last December at Washington DC's 9:30 Club on seven hi-definition cameras. In addition to favorites from Strange Cousins From The West, like "50,000 Unstoppable Watts," and "Let A Poor Man Be," the DVD will also include an electrifying version of the 1995 self-titled album in it's entirety. 

Also, an audio version of the 19 song concert will be available exclusively on iTunes beginning May 11th.

DISC 2 FEATURES
A 110 minute "road film" called Fortune Tellers Make a Killing Nowadays, which takes a behind-the-scenes look at Clutch during their 2009 tour. Disc 2 also includes rare band interviews as well as vintage never before seen footage documenting much of Clutch's history from 1991 to the present. 


"LET A POOR MAN BE" SINGLE
In support of the summer tour and the forthcoming Live at the 9:30 DVD, as well as the current Strange Cousins From the West CD, Weathermaker Music will release the new single "Let a Poor Man Be" on May 3rd, with an accompanying video clip and a rare promo only EP featuring unreleased material.


CLUTCH / THE BAKERTON GROUP AT BONNAROO
On June 4th Clutch will kick off another leg of their 2010 worldwide headlining tour. The early summer portion takes the band through the USA, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Greece, Italy and the UK. The band's instrumental jazz rock alter ego, The Bakerton Group will appear as one of the opening acts in North America. Both The Bakerton Group and Clutch will appear on the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on June 11th and 12th respectively.


CLUTCH CD AND VINYL RE-ISSUES COMING
As if that's not enough, Clutch and Weathermaker Music are currently preparing expanded CD and vinyl re-issues of catalog pieces From Beale Street to Oblivion, Robot Hive/Exodus and Blast Tyrant. These three projects will be available digitally and physically at retail and the band's websites on the CD/DVD format on June 22nd, August 17th and October 12th respectively. Double vinyl versions of all three re-issues will be available on November 23rd. Track listings are not yet available, but Weathermaker label manager Jon Nardachone hints at some very exciting details.

"The bonus content of the three re-issues will be entirely different. We're still sifting through unreleased Clutch originals, cover songs, live audio, live video, alternate takes, etc, One thing we know for sure is that each re-issue will have updated and upgraded artwork/packaging as well as additional music from the exact timeframe each CD was first released. This is not about tacking on a couple of unfinished demos to the end of each CD. We're producing these with the knowledge that Clutch fans expect something fresh, yet distinguishably representative of that moment in time. The diehard fan will appreciate these projects in a big way."

Clutch Reissues

12/11/2009
On December 15, CLUTCH will issue a double vinyl package of their latest studio effort, "Strange Cousins From the West", through the band's self-owned label Weathermaker Music. This vinyl edition will feature two tracks that cannot be found on the CD version of "Strange Cousins..." The first track is the recently recorded "Metroliner Special" and the second is an extended version of the band's latest single and video, "50,000 Unstoppable Watts".

The first 4,000 pieces of "Strange Cousins" vinyl will include a coupon for a free digital download of all 12 songs through the band's web site, www.pro-rock.com.

Also this fall, Weathermaker will make available for digital purchase the former DRT Entertainment catalog, which includes "Blast Tyrant" (2004), "Robot Hive/Exodus" (2005) and "From Beale Street to Oblivion" (2007). Weathermaker plans to reissue all three of these in 2010 with a heavy dose of bonus material. Double vinyl packages are in the works for these as well.

"Robot Hive/Exodus" was made available digitally on November 30 and will be followed by "Blast Tyrant" on December 18. Due to the high amount of digital demand for the band's 2007 single "Electric Worry", Weathermaker has already issued "From Beale Street to Oblivion" on November 7 to coincide with the song's inclusion in the popular video game "Left 4 Dead 2" and its television commercial.

Clutch to play 2010 Soundwave Festival in Australia

08/17/2009

Soundwave 2010....has arrived!

http://www.soundwavefestival.com/

One of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, the pyramids have baffled archaeologists as to how those huge chunks of rock were assembled together some 2500 years ago.

Following its most successful year, we are hoping that in years from now, folks will look at the 2010 Soundwave line-up and wonder how so much ROCK from around the world was assembled together in 5 cities across Australia.

For 2010 we are particularly proud to have enticed one of rock’s all time legendary artists, FAITH NO MORE ; and one of today’s most talented and intriguing bands, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE to top the bill. Joining them will be indie legends and festival kings JANES ADDICTION, the kings of dark punk AFI and one of the hottest bands in the world, PARAMORE.

We are also thrilled to be graced by the presence of the newly reformed and legendary SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE and the hotly anticipated return of THE GET UP KIDS and ALEXISONFIRE.

In true SOUNDWAVE fashion there will be plenty of great new bands to discover as well old and new favourites. Without further ado, we present the line-up for SOUNDWAVE 2010.

JANES ADDICTION * AFI * PARAMORE * HIM *ALEXISONFIRE * TAKING BACK SUNDAY * TRIVIUM * SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE * EAGLES OF DEATH METAL * THE GET UP KIDS * REEL BIG FISH * MESHUGGAH * ALL TIME LOW * A DAY TO REMEMBER * IT DIES TODAY * ESCAPE THE FATE * CLUTCH * ANTI FLAG * ISIS * GALLOWS * A WILHELM SCREAM * THE WEAKERTHANS * EMAROSA * ANVIL * THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA* COMEBACK KID * THE ALMOST *DANCE GAVIN DANCE * FOUR YEAR STRONG * YOU ME AT SIX * WHITECHAPEL *THE AQUABATS * ROLO TOMASSI * BARONESS * RX BANDITS * MAXIMUM THE HORMONE * THE CREEPSHOW

BREAKING NEWS!

07/13/2009

Stream New Album, "Strange Cousins From The West," Out Next Tuesday on Weathermaker Music * Premiere "50,000 Unstoppable Watts" Video This Saturday on Headbangers Ball!


The Maryland based band has amassed a substantial catalog that includes nine studio albums, five live releases, and a handful of EPs. What's more, throughout the 90's, Clutch's hardcore-influenced, groove-heavy riff rock, helped define that decade's stoner sound, while in the new millennium, their persistent hunger to expand their style brought them into the realms of traditional down-home blues and far-out psychedelic jams. While Clutch's recorded sound may be most prominently colored by Sult's mammoth riffs and Fallon's gravelly, booming vocals and surreal, pseudo-social lyrical critiques, the true strength of the band is revealed at Clutch's live show. Anyone who's witnessed one knows that when all four players lock into a brutal, funky groove - to use a title from one of their own songs - the mob goes wild. - Revolver Magazine

Veteran Maryland rock quartet CLUTCH are gearing up for the release of their ninth studio album, entitled Strange Cousins From the West. Produced by Clutch and J. Robbins at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, the effort is the first Clutch original to be released on the band's own Weathermaker Music, through RED Distribution. Label manager Jon Nardachone reports "Strange Cousins..." will be available both physically and digitally through retail on July 14th, and fans who purchase the new album via iTunes will receive a free bonus track! An iTunes exclusive 10 minute Clutch "up close & personal" video documentary, produced by Agent Ogden!

In celebration of the new album, Clutch and Weathermaker Music have announced they have made their new album streaming in its entirety at AOL Music for one week only!

Click to stream Clutch's new album, "Strange Cousins From The West," here!

Clutch has also announced they will be making the worldwide video premiere for the first single off the album, titled "50,000 Unstoppable Watts," this Saturday on Headbangers Ball!

Don't miss the world premiere of this badass new Clutch video for "50,000 Unstoppable Watts" airing for the first time anywhere on MTV's Headbangers Ball this Saturday at 2am EST! Produced and directed by Jeremy Hunt of Screaming Death Monkey, Hunt also directed Clutch's "Burning Beard" video.

Finally, as they prepare to bring their new album to the live setting, Clutch will kick off their massive US Summer tour with the mighty Baroness this week, and have also just announced a Fall US tour w/ Wino and Revolution Mother, bringing the band to New York City's Irving Plaza for two-nights of back to back shows, and their first dates in the city in support of the band's new album. Pre-sale tickets for Clutch Fan Club members are available now through the band's Pro-Rock.com.

* Scroll below for the complete list of Clutch dates, as well as a glimpse at the amazing retrospective piece in the latest edition of Revolver Magazine. "Strange Cousins From The West" will be released in the UK / Ireland, mainland Europe, Australia and New Zealand between July 3rd and July 17th and is available for pre-order within the United States exclusively through Newbury Comics, in mainland Europe through Amazon, and in the UK / Ireland through Play.com.

NEW BAKERTON GROUP ALBUM

12/09/2008

Weathermaker Music Inks Deal w/ RED Distribution * Announces New Bakerton Group Album Out February 17th!

“Clutch have so many fans here at RED, and we couldn’t be happier they chose us to be their distribution partner... Helping the band build their new label will make 2009 an even better year at RED.” - RED Senior Vice President of Product Development Alan Becker.

“We’re so amped about our deal with RED. I’m convinced their team is as hungry as we are to take The Bakerton Group, Clutch and Weathermaker Music to the next level.” - Weathermaker Label Manager Jon Nardachone.

Weathermaker Music, the label owned by touring juggernauts Clutch, has inked a multi-year, multiple release North American deal with Sony/BMG owned RED Distribution. First on deck, slated for a February 17th release through the formidable alliance, is the new BAKERTON GROUP release entitled “El Rojo!”

Produced by Clutch and J. Robbins at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, MD, “El Rojo” will be the first full tilt release from THE BAKERTON GROUP, the psychedelic instrumental jazz-laden alter ego of Clutch (all 4 original Clutch members make up The Bakerton Group). In addition, Per Wiberg from Opeth was brought in to handle all piano, synth and keyboard duties on all 10 of “El Rojo’s” tracks.

In other Clutch related news, some of the incredible footage from the band’s first ever live DVD/CD, “Full Fathom Five,” will be featured on Comcast Cable’s On Demand “Concert TV” channel starting December 15th, along with classic rock icons Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Black Crowes, Deep Purple, Santana, U2 & Motorhead.

* Clutch will end 2008 the same way they began it, on the road. In late December, they will headline a short run with Viking Skull and Russian Circles as support. Starting Feb 11th to March 3rd, both Clutch and The Bakerton Group will simultaneously tour the the United States, before recording the highly anticiapted follow-up to the “From Beale Street to Oblivion” CD.

Press release below.

Clutch & Weathermaker Team Up w/ MVD * New CD/DVD in stores Nov. 11th * Band To Appear on Hard Rock Hell Festival, Saw V Soundtrack, US Dates w/ Russian Circles and More!

For the past 8 weeks, Clutch’s first ever DVD “Full Fathom Five, Video Field Recordings,” and accompanying CD have been available at the band’s legendary live shows, through Merch.com and in about 150 select US, Canadian and UK independent retail outlets chosen by the band’s owned and self distributed Weathermaker Music label. This will increase ten-fold, as Weathermaker has teamed up with the MVD Entertainment Group to expand the reach of the Full Fathom Five project.

On November 11th, the acclaimed live Clutch DVD and accompanying “Full Fathom Five-Audio Field Recordings” CD will be available in over 1500 new retail outlets such as FYE, Best Buy, Coconuts, Fry’s, Hastings and Barnes & Noble.

“This is a fantastic progression for us after only three months as an active label.” states Weathermaker Music Label Manager Jon Nardachone. “Originally, our intention was to handle all CD and DVD sales directly through Weathermaker, but having the MVD Distribution team on board for the “Full Fathom Five” project ensures many ecstatic Clutch fans this holiday season.”

In other Clutch related news, some of the incredible footage from the “Full Fathom Five” DVD will be featured on Comcast Cable’s On Demand “Concert TV” channel starting December 15th, along with classic rock icons Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Black Crowes, Deep Purple, Santana, U2 & Motorhead.

Clutch’s live concert footage was produced and directed by Agent Ogden (Primus, Jon Comer, Music With Altitude) in Pittsburgh, Sayerville, Denver and Sydney Austrailia on the band’s 2007/2008 “From Beale Street to Oblivion” world tour. The track “Power Player” from that release, as well as “Full Fathom Five,” is featured on the Saw V Motion Picture Soundtrack released last week.

* Clutch will end 2008 the same way they began it, on the road. The band is confirmed along with Thin Lizzy, Black Label Society and Hawkwind to play the Hard Rock Hell Festival on December 6th in North Wales. Upon returning home, they will headline a short run with Viking Skull and Russian Circles as support.

"LIVE AT THE CORNER HOTEL"

04/04/2008

“Clutch first ventured to the fine Australian shores back in March of 2006, amid a decade of anticipation by their cult like following. What followed was a series of sold out shows and the start of an ongoing love affair between Clutch and Australia. New Found Frequency was also at The Corner Hotel for their first show in Melbourne, documenting it for the NFF website. While many of you have enjoyed the concert streaming online over the past year, we’re pleased to announce that due to overwhelming demand, it will now be available on CD. Clutch - Live at The Corner, will be a double disc album comprising of 90 minutes of music, artwork by Nick Lak and an exclusive 25+ minute interview with Neil detailing their travels in Australia. While the first Clutch CD has been met with overwhelming praise, this one promises to be just as good, if not better. Why don’t you decide?”

BEALE STREET ARTWORK

04/04/2007

A note from the band regarding the album art and packaging:

“A word about the artwork for From Beale Street to Oblivion - Nick Lakiotes designed the artwork for From Beale Street to Oblivion. He spent a long time generating original art and laying it out in what was to be a digipack format. A digipack, if you don’t already know, is the all-paper style of packaging for c.d.s’. We had approved a design that was to be in a matte paper complete with a removable booklet. It looked amazing. However, the U.S. pressing currently on the street features an unapproved design change in jewel case format. We apologize to Nick Lakiotes who worked so hard on his beautiful design and to our fans for not being able to purchase a better package, the type of packaging that we intended for this release.”
