CLUTCH Frontman Neil Fallon to Guest on VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show" This Saturday Night! #metal

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

SCamp13 Is Imminent & Thursday Pre-Party Choices From Chicago & Beyond @summercampfest #SCamp13

SCamp12 Thursday/Friday ChiILLiveShows.com

We'll be going off line and into the woods for Summer Camp Music Festival--the annual kick off to the Summer Music Festival Season this Thursday through Memorial Day Monday. Once again, we have press credentials this year and both of our sites (ChiILLiveShows.com & ChiILMama.com) will go dark for 5 days so we can give our full attention to photographing, interviewing and covering SCamp in the wilds of Chillicothe, IL at 3 Sisters Park.

Here's our ginormous... full set... slideshow from SCamp 2012 broken down by days starting with Thursday/Friday last year. This is the first time we've put the good, the bad & the ugly out there unedited. We generally break our shots into smaller features by band, theme, etc. and the public only ever sees a tiny fraction of what we shoot. But... just in case you & your friends or your fav bands are in there and didn't make the "best of" cut, we're putting the whole thing out there for you, just this once. Enjoy!
