As I write this we’re just south of Champaign driving towards Carbondale to do a night with our very talented friends, Seepeoples. We’re fresh off a short tour that took us to New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Toronto. Thanks to Kevin Calabro from Hyena records for hanging out all day in New York. We did an interview and a few songs for liveatfyi.com in Manhattan and then made our way across town to the Sullivan Music Hall. We played a rare show as a four piece with our good friend Scott Tipping covering guitar and some keys for us and then watched The Beautiful Girls perform. They’re actually Australian guys. Not girls. Good band nonetheless. After New York we parted company with Matt so he could take care of some family obligations and continued on with Scott in charge of the bass. We got to see my brother Phil as well as some great Clutch fans in Philly. In Boston we played at Harper’s Ferry to a packed house. Boston was rowdy! I saw two full-fledged fights right outside the club. Chicks were right in there fighting with the guys. But Boston treated us well and from there we left on our long drive to Canada. It was our pleasure to play at the legendary el Mocambo where over the years the Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, and Bob Marley and the Wailers have all played. It’s a perfect bar. Really really dark with great sound. We had a great fucking time. We met some really great new Canadian friends and said goodbye to our new friends in the Beautiful Girls and their crew. We had to haul ass back to the states to get Scott to Chicago on time for a gig but we made it just in the nick of time.
Now its later in the week and because I didn’t post this here’s what happened after I wrote all that shit above. We hung out with Seepeoples and our friends from Carbondale on Thursday night. Thanks Dave, TJ, Mark and Jill. St Louis was a great show. We played with our new friends the Hipnecks at a very hip room called Lucas School House. We’re all hoping to make it back to St Louis very soon. We celebrated my birthday with Bockman and a bunch of friends. We played Peoria at Aemon Patrick’s on Saturday all night. They party late in Peoria. Thanks to Miles to having us out. That’s all Folks!

Sound fun. I wish I could be there for the Rev and Nashville Pussy. That sounds like it could be the best show ever.
