  • CLUTCH 26. Januar 2013 Stuttgart Universum Seit Gut Zwei
    CLUTCH 26. Januar 2013 Stuttgart Universum Seit gut zwei Jahrzehnten befindet sich das US-amerikanische Quartett CLUTCH auf einer spannenden musikalischen Expedition. Ihr Ziel, die drückende Schwere des Stoner Rock mit der kantigen Ursprünglichkeit des Blues zu vereinen, blieb dabei immer im Fokus. Zugleich hat sich die Band aus Germantown/Maryland konsequent weiterentwickelt. Ihre zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen – darunter neun Studio- und fünf Live-Alben – stießen in der Rockwelt immer auf beachtlichen messbaren Erfolg. Noch bedeutender ist jedoch ihre weltweite Fangemeinde, die ihnen geradezu kultisch verfallen ist. Entsprechend euphorisch dürfte die Ankündigung aufgenommen werden, dass sich CLUTCH Anfang 2013 mit ihrem zehnten Studioalbum zurückmelden und zwischen dem 26. Januar und 2. Februar für fünf Konzerte in Stuttgart, München, Berlin, Köln und Hamburg nach Deutschland kommen. CLUTCHs Debütalbum „Transnational Speedway League“ platzte 1993 mitten in die erste Hysterie um den frisch entstandenen Grunge. Auch CLUTCH bedienten sich auf ihrem ersten Album bei einigen Elementen des Grunge. Noch mehr im Zentrum ihrer Arbeit standen aber die wuchtigen Grooves des Stoner Rock, die sie erfolgreich und immer wieder anders mit dem Feeling und dem Songwriting- Verständnis des Blues koppelten. Im Schnitt brachte die Band mit wachsendem Erfolg jedes zweite Jahr ein neues Album auf den Markt: „The Elephant Riders“ (1998), „Pure Rock Fury“ (2001) und „Blast Tyrant“ (2004) stiegen alle in die Top 5 der US-Heatseekers Charts. Im Zuge ihrer endlosen Welttourneen – CLUTCH spielen oft mehr als 100 Konzerte im Jahr – konnten sie eine internationale Fanschar für sich gewinnen, die jeden Schritt der Band mit großer Begeisterung verfolgt. Viele dieser Fans reisen ihnen auf Tourneen hinterher, weil sich jeder Konzertabend anders gestaltet.

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY TO HEADLINE NEW HARD ROCK FESTIVAL CREATED BY FRONTMAN ZAKK WYLDE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF SEPTEMBER 21 ST WITH SPECIAL GUESTS CLUTCH, CHILDREN OF BODOM AND 2CENTS (New York, NY) – Legendary rocker Zakk Wylde is proud to announce the creation of The Black Label Berzerkus , a rock n’ roll night of excess and unique madness! Headlined by Wylde’s infamous Black Label Society, the extensive two-month long North American trek will also feature Clutch, Children Of Bodom and 2Cents. Hand-picked by Wylde himself, Children Of Bodom and Clutch will share the main support slot. Kicking off on September 21 st at Roseland in Portland, OR, the tour will make stops across the U.S. and Canada, and will pack a powerful punch of music and debauchery. Please see below for the full tour routing, as well as additional Black Label Society tour dates including Ozzfest. Zakk Wylde, known worldwide for his guitar prowess and over-the-top stage presence, was looking at other rock festivals and saw the need for a value-priced tour of his own – particularly one that caters to the need of his unique demographic of fans, known as Berzerkers. It was an easy decision, says Wylde, summing it up like only he can, “If you don’t get invited to the party, start your f’ing own!” Children Of Bodom commented, “COB is more than ready to head out on Berzerkus and see all of our great fans.

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 17.06.2019 Clutch mit Graveyard als Special Guest im Dezember in Deutschland Clutch und Graveyard, das sind zwei Bands, die mit ihrem Willen zur Vielfalt, ihrer Experimentierfreudigkeit und Stilsicherheit wunderbar zusammenpassen. Was liegt da näher, als die beiden Bands gemeinsam auf Tour zu schicken? Neil Fallon hat einmal gesagt: „Wir nähern uns immer mehr den Bands an, die wir in unserer Kindheit gehört haben.“ Da passt es ganz gut, dass seine Band Clutch jetzt ein neues Stück veröffentlicht haben: Geschrieben hat „Evil“ der große Blues-Komponist Willie Dixon, gespielt haben es von Howlin’ Wolf über Cactus, Monster Magnet bis zu Textor&Renz schon etliche Granden des Rock. Und es spiegelt perfekt die bald 30-jährige Geschichte der Band aus Maryland wider. Seit der Gründung im Jahr 1991 haben Sänger Fallon, Gitarrist Tim Sult, Bassist Dan Maines und Schlagzeuger Jean-Paul Gaster eine ganz schöne Reihe von Genres abgearbeitet. Begonnen hat das Quartett mit Hardcore und entwickelte sich über Metal zu den innovativsten Stoner-Rockern weiter, um inzwischen beim Bluesrock und dem Blues gelandet zu sein, ohne dabei jemals diesen schwarzen funky Groove aus den Augen zu verlieren. Dabei gab es Einflüsse aus allen Ecken und Enden: Led Zeppelin und Black Sabbath, Faith No More und Helmet, ZZ Top und Rage Against the Machine, Queens of the Stone Age und P-Funk. Die Entwicklung von Clutch durch alle Genres, Stile und Spielarten nachzuvollziehen, ist wie eine Reise durch den Rockkosmos der vergangenen 50 Jahre.

More of what discerning Jack Daniels drinking, joint rolling, hair swinging fans are looking for can be found in both the new live Clutch CD and the accompanying live DVD (their first!) Full Fathom Five. Live and heavy as hell, this is the next best thing to actually being at a Clutch show, minus the sweat, high priced beer and inevitable bruises incurred from going ballistic in the mosh pit. Recorded in late 2007 and early 2008 in Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Denver and Australia, this collection of Clutch compositions finds the band in top form. The sweet solos of Tim Sult, the “born in the basement” bass of Dan Maines, Jean-Paul Gaster’s drums-ago-go and Mick Schauer prowess on the organ meet Neil Fallon’s vocals/harmonica/guitar at the cross roads, leaving the Devil with nothing to do but watch in stunned amazement as they blaze a new trail to Hell.
