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!

INCOMING: CLUTCH RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR “GHOUL WRANGLER” NEW 2019 WINTER TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED
ChiIL Live Shows on our radar
I've been shooting stills of Clutch, live in concert, for about a decade and enjoying their live shows for about 25 years. They remain a top favorite of ours here at ChiIL Live Shows, and we make a point to catch them live as much as possible. This includes every annual Chi, IL stop, and then some. We've caught them multiple times in several cities in Indiana and Ohio, as well as shooting a video interview with Neil Fallon in Indianapolis. We can't wait to see them in Chicago again March 13th at Concord, right in our Logan Square neighborhood!
Maryland rockers Clutch have released a new video for the single “Ghoul Wrangler” from their latest album Book Of Bad Decisions. The video was shot in the Old Bedford Village in Pennsylvania and can be viewed at this location: https://youtu.be/W74TewnAxx0
Vinyl fans might remember the Ghoul Wrangler business card that was included in each 12" jacket. Many of those who called the number on the card left messages for the Ghoul Wrangler. Some of these messages have been used as teasers on Clutch's socials in the last couple of days. The phone line is still active. You never know what comes next. Call!
”JP wears pantaloons, Dan’s got horns, and Tim throws up on my face” says frontman Neil Fallon. “I’m pretty sure we all deserve Academy Awards."
Clutch will be starting their Winter tour next week in support of Book Of Bad Decisions. Tickets are on sale now at this location: Linkfire -https://clutch.lnk.to/TourLink.
Support for the tour comes from Big Business from Seattle, WA and The Inspector Cluzo from Gascony, France. A Clutch curated Spotify playlist featuring music from all three bands can be found at this location: http://tinyurl.com/y2htbm79
Book Of Bad Decisions is Clutch’s twelfth studio album debuting at #1 on several charts around the world including the US Billboard Hard Rock chart.

Clutch LIVE at House of Blues Chicago 4-12-13 #originalphotos #showshots

Clutch 4-12-13 House of Blues, Chicago
We'll forgive them for skipping Chicago on the last tour. Clutch made it up to their Chi-town fans with an excellent, hard rockin', sold out show last Friday at The House of Blues. It was our pleasure to shoot stills and again catch them in action.
The set list was a sweet mix of old favs and new Earth Rocker Material which was extremely well received. Generally it take live crowds a while to warm up to new material, but Earth Rocker is so good, it's contagious. A good chunk of the crowd was already belting out the lyrics and even those who didn't know the new stuff yet were completely into it.
We scored a press preview of the album and it's been in heavy rotation here at ChiIL Live Shows. Clutch is a band that's been ahead of their time for twenty years, but the rest of the world seems to finally have caught up with their March release of, Earth Rocker.
We've been digging their vision & sound since the beginning, but there were comparatively few fans for years. Of course we didn't mind catching them at small venues like the Logan Auditorium and Cubby Bear, when few knew the name Clutch, but we don't mind sharing a good thing. And we love to see creative, talented people get the recognition they deserve.
Clutch has played metal their own way, completely unabashed, for years, not caring whether mainstream metal liked them or they achieved commercial success. Their diehard fans have always grocked the genius and enjoyed their music, despite their genre defying sound. Staying true to their own style and voice is at last paying off for Clutch.
CLUTCH's Earth Rocker
Enters Billboard Charts at #15!
In mid March, WEATHERMAKER MUSIC released the highly anticipated new studio album Earth Rocker from CLUTCH. Earth Rocker entered the Billboard Top 200 Charts at #15 marking the highest Billboard Chart debut in the band's storied career. The album came in at #1 on the Hard Music Chart and #3 on the Independent Album Chart.
In the UK
Earth Rocker charted at #50 on the Top 200 Album Chart, #3 on the Top Rock and Metal Albums Chart and #11 on the Top Independent album chart.
Earth Rocker is continuing to make an impact at radio. The album is #1 at CMJ Loud Rock, and their second single, "Crucial Velocity" was added to SiriusXM channels Octane, Liquid Metal and Faction.
The band has also released a lyric video for "Crucial Velocity". The video was done by animator James Appleton and can be viewed below.
"WEATHERMAKER MUSIC is thrilled with this result. The release campaign began 6 months ago. We executed on our worldwide plan by integrating touring, promotion, retail and digital marketing as well as Specialty/Metal and Active Rock radio campaigns in a perfect sequence. Our partners around the world backed us up. RED Music's extraordinary support made much of this possible. But in the end none of it would have been the same without this great album. CLUTCH is the quintessential American rock band!" says WEATHERMAKER MUSIC Label Manager Stefan Koster.
