CLUTCH Announces First-Ever Acoustic In-Store Performance
May 18, 2011Maryland rockers CLUTCH will take part in their first-ever acoustic in-store performance on Saturday, May 28 at Earshot Music & Movies in Greenville, South Carolina. The band's set will consist primarily of selections from its "Basket Of Eggs" project from the "Blast Tyrant" deluxe reissue. The charitable food pantry "Loaves And Fishes" will also be on site that afternoon collecting canned food and non-perishables for the region's recent weather-related victims. Earshot and Weathermaker Music will set up a large "food basket" inside the retailer and those who donate a canned or non-perishable food item will receive a free CLUTCH tour poster and be first in line to have it autographed by the band after their acoustic performance.
The "Blast Tyrant" deluxe reissue sold 2,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release, landing at position No. 26 on Top Hard Music Albums chart, more than seven years after the original version debuted at No. 15. The double-disc package, which features the "Basket of Eggs" bonus CD, triumphed in the Northeast, where it broke into the Top 10 at the mammoth Newbury Comics chain, and was the No. 1-selling double disc.
CLUTCH will kick off a nine-date headlining tour on May 20 in Reading, Pennsylvania. The trek will feature MAYLENE & THE SONS OF DISASTER as main support. CLUTCH will keep the average ticket price for these shows to a fan-friendly $17.50. CLUTCH has also confirmed a headlining run for this July, with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY serving as direct support. The tour will kick off with two special shows (July 20-21) in the New York area.
