Featured Live Show: Clutch / The Fall of Troy



**Pre-show Post**
11.29.07 - Alright, you kids of the cloven hoof... Tonight holds another body-rockin' set to add onto your concert to-do list... The massive and mighty Clutch are gracing the Big Crapple with their magical presence! Tonight, at Roseland Ballroom, your friendly neighborhood elephant riders are gonna hit the stage running, and the audience of hundreds will spontaneously grow beards whether they like it or not. Prepare yourself for a festivus of facial hair, and check your shame at the door! So seriously, come on down and let's do some pelvic grooves while escaping from this prison planet. But on a serious note, sadly, Clutch is not the headliner tonight... The drummer-stealing Coheed and Cambria are holding court, which means it will be yet another show where I leave after an opener... sigh... But maybe Bonseaw will handle the covering of that part of the night, since I will most likely be inhaling dead flies and cigarette butts, passed-out face-down on the tile bathroom floor, in a ripped GG Allin tshirt, in some dive by the time they finish their set... Why, you ask? Cuz obviously Clutch demands that I rage... Since I have the body of John Wilkes Booth... Now get to bookin'.

So Sick It Hurts: Clutch - "From Beale Street to Oblivion"



"It was once said that 200 Clutch fanatics lived in every big city, leaving the rest of the world oblivious to their funk rock charms and hilarious lyrics. Like Tool, they are adored by heavy rock fans but stand out with their underlying groove, infectious melodies and former teacher Neil Fallon's biblical and sci-fi themed lyrics, which he delivers like a feverish preacher. By combining bluesy guitars and Hammond organ, dinosauric riffs and thunderous drumming, their seventh album lives up to its name. Think Henry Rollins fronting '60s stoner rockers Blue Cheer, mixed with some southern-fried boogie and a twist of metal. It's taken the Maryland quintet 15 years of solid touring to become this good, so jump on board." ~ theage.com
