June 21, 2010"My Show With Undercover Steve" (web site) conducted an interview with vocalist/guitarist Neil Fallon of Maryland rockers CLUTCH after the band's June 17, 2010 soundcheck at The Handlebar in Greenville, South Carolina. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.
2010 will prove to be the busiest calender 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 issued a brand new epic DVD set called "Live at the 9:30" in mid-May. This 200-minute double-disc concert film is being sold at the fan-friendly price of $19.98.
Disc one features a 90-minute full length concert filmed with seven high-definition cameras last December at Washington, D.C.'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 electifying version of the 1995 "Clutch" self-titled release in its entirety. An audio version of the full 19-song concert was made exclusively available through iTunes on May 11.
Disc two is the 110-minute feature 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".
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 highly anticipated projects will be available digitally and physically at retail and the band's web sites on the CD/DVD format on June 22, August 17 and October 12, respectively. Double vinyl versions of all three re-issues will be available on November 23. 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," he said. "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 reissue 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."
