CLUTCH To Record Acoustic EP
June 22, 2010According to Metal Insider, Maryland rockers CLUTCH will enter Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore with J. Robbins around July 4 to record approximately half a dozen songs for an acoustic EP, to be released before the end of the year. Some of the titles being considered for the effort include a song called "Fixin' To Die" (which CLUTCH performed this past Saturday at the Crocodile Rock in Allentown, Pennsylvania),as well as stripped-down takes of "Abraham Lincoln", "Electric Worry", "Regulator" and "Tight Like That".
In other news, Weathermaker Records will reissue "Electric Worry" in conjunction with the July 20 re-release of 2007's "From Beale Street To Oblivion". A modest hit upon its release, the song has since gained newfound popularity. It has been featured in previews for the upcoming TBS series "Memphis Beat", which were heavily played during the NBA finals, as well as a commercial for the video game "Left 4 Dead 2". Weathermaker Records' Jon Nardachone told Metal Insider that if the acoustic version of "Electric Worry" makes the cut on the EP, it will be included as a B-side for the radio single.
CLUTCH 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".
