Neil Fallon speaks with Bonnie Kenaz-Mara (AKA: ChiIL Mama) for ChiIL Live Shows
Clutch has been one of our favorite, literate alt-metal bands for decades! We own almost all their albums and our kids have grown up belting out Clutch. It was a high point of our year to score an interview with Neil Fallon. He spoke with us about Earth Rocker, beard bands, inspiration, weird lineups, name origins and more. He even contributed to our long running video series on How Creatives Parent & How Parents Create for ChiILMama.com
Thank to the commenter who said "Finally, the interviewer is not an idiot." You made my day.Clutch is getting some main stream acclaim at last. But they're no sell outs. Their new material is intense and as amazing as ever!

Any fan's dream is to know what it's like to be on the road with a Rock and Roll band, but you may be surprised to see what it's really like - long periods of boredom, broken up by brief periods of intense activity and most of all hard work. CLUTCH has been posting a tour diary blog throughout their European tour on how it really is. The posts can be read on the band's Facebook Page and
