Clutch Announce Australian Tour

2016 Psychic Warfare Australian Tour Announcement

“Clutch is one of America’s greatest rock bands. It’s not worth arguing about it—it’s a fact, one that the Maryland riff machine prove time and time again, every time they roll out onstage, settle into a swingin’ groove, and let loose their manic street preacher of a vocalist, Neil Fallon, to spit fire, brimstone, and nutty nonsense…” Noisey / Vice

Australian fans got their first taste of Clutch live on their home soil in 2006, after a number of headline tours and appearances at Soundwave and Meredith Music Festivals the band return in 2016 to play their largest Australian shows to date, to celebrate the release of their new LP, Psychic Warfare.

Clutch have been pushing the boundaries that define rock n roll since they met and started jamming back in high school. Eleven studio albums and countless tours around the globe, they have developed a reputation for one of the hardest working, critically acclaimed, and most loved rock n roll bands in existence.

“Clutch are incapable of putting on a bad show, it’s just not possible, their own homebrewed brand of blues-infused rock has more sass than you can shake a stick at.” Pop Matters 2015

Psychic Warfare goes straight for the throat with the first single X-Ray Visions and never lets go. Working again with acclaimed producer Machine, this time in Austin Texas, the concise arrangements that made Earth Rocker so assertive is the same harness for the combustible musical energy on this record.

For 30 years, the Cosmic Psychos have blazed a trail of empty beer cans and busted eardrums around the globe with their quintessential Australian drawl and pounding punk rock songs. With a fan base that includes Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder “Live it was always so huge and powerful”, a recent sold out national tour and their sixth studio album, Cum The Raw Prawn out in the world, they join Clutch to open all shows.
