Clutch Announce Double DVD Set Live At The 9:30
If you were one of the many fans who missed out on tickets to Clutch’s sold out national tour earlier this year, don’t fret, in June you will have the opportunity to take the band’s live show into your own home to watch over and over again.
2010 will prove to be the busiest calendar year in the career of veteran rock band Clutch. Building on the Top 30 Billboard chart success of 2009's ‘Strange Cousins From The West’ (Weathermaker Music), the Maryland based quartet will release an epic DVD set called "Live at the 9:30" June 4th, 2010.
Disc one features a 90 minute full length concert filmed with seven hi-definition cameras last December at Washington DC's legendary 9:30 Club. In addition to newer fan favorites like "50,000 Unstoppable Watts" and "Let a Poor Man Be," the concert film's first disc includes an electrifying version of the 1995 "Clutch" self titled release in it's entirety.
Disc two is the 110-minute road film "Fortune Tellers Make a Killing Nowadays," which takes a behind the scenes look at Clutch "on tour" city by city in 2009. This "bonus disc" is not limited to recent Clutch happenings however, as it includes rare band interviews as well as vintage never before seen footage documenting much of Clutch's history from 1991 to the present. Both discs were directed and produced by Agent Ogden, who first worked with the band, on 2007's "Full Fathom Five, Video Field Recordings."
“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. Much of the band's direction and personality is thanks to Neil Fallon, Clutch's singer, co-songwriter and lyricist who is known for weaving historical, literary and downright nerdtastic references into his hard-banging songs.” – BILLBOARD
“….in spite of the heat Clutch never lost their footing for a second. They were a mountain of groove. Or Sherpas climbing the mountain of groove - Groove Mountain if you will – sure-footed and steady, armed with beards, Orange amps, and a shitload of driving tittie-bar-blues.” - X-PRESS
“…In amongst the screaming and wailing, Clutch would have to be the grooviest band on today’s bill. Kicking off with southern fried slide-blues rock, they bring highly jazzed music and thick slabs of stoner rock upon it, culminating in a stew of good times and whole lot of ‘Hell yeah’.” - TIME OFF
“To simply say Clutch played this song, and then they played that song would be to do them a grave injustice.. The amazing thing about this band live is their ability to captivate the audience by offering them something familiar and then taking it away…by the end of the night, the audience was almost drinking (eating, whatever) out of the band’s collective palm, and the four-piece weren’t stingy with what they were portioning out.” - THE DRUM MEDIA
