Inks Deal w/ RED Distribution * Announces New Bakerton Group Album Out February 17th!
“Clutch have so many fans here at RED, and we couldn’t be happier they chose us to be their distribution partner… Helping the band build their new label will make 2009 an even better year at RED.” - RED Senior Vice President of Product Development Alan Becker.
“We’re so amped about our deal with RED. I’m convinced their team is as hungry as we are to take The Bakerton Group, Clutch and Weathermaker Music to the next level.” - Weathermaker Label Manager Jon Nardachone.
Weathermaker Music, the label owned by touring juggernauts Clutch, has inked a multi-year, multiple release North American deal with Sony/BMG owned RED Distribution. First on deck, slated for a February 17th release through the formidable alliance, is the new BAKERTON GROUP release entitled “El Rojo!”
Produced by Clutch and J. Robbins at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, MD, “El Rojo” will be the first full tilt release from THE BAKERTON GROUP, the psychedelic instrumental jazz-laden alter ego of Clutch (all 4 original Clutch members make up The Bakerton Group). In addition, Per Wiberg from Opeth was brought in to handle all piano, synth and keyboard duties on all 10 of “El Rojo’s” tracks.
In other Clutch related news, some of the incredible footage from the band’s first ever live DVD/CD, “Full Fathom Five,” will be featured on Comcast Cable’s On Demand “Concert TV” channel starting December 15th, along with classic rock icons Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Black Crowes, Deep Purple, Santana, U2 & Motorhead.
* Clutch will end 2008 the same way they began it, on the road. In late December, they will headline a short run with Viking Skull and Russian Circles as support. Starting Feb 11th to March 3rd, both Clutch and The Bakerton Group will simultaneously tour the the United States, before recording the highly anticiapted follow-up to the “From Beale Street to Oblivion” CD.

Breaking News!
Clutch & Weathermaker Team Up w/ MVD * New CD/DVD in stores Nov. 11th * Band To Appear on Hard Rock Hell Festival, Saw V Soundtrack, US Dates w/ Russian Circles and More!
For the past 8 weeks, Clutch’s first ever DVD “Full Fathom Five, Video Field Recordings,” and accompanying CD have been available at the band’s legendary live shows, through Merch.com and in about 150 select US, Canadian and UK independent retail outlets chosen by the band’s owned and self distributed Weathermaker Music label. This will increase ten-fold, as Weathermaker has teamed up with the MVD Entertainment Group to expand the reach of the “Full Fathom Five” project.
On November 11th, the acclaimed live Clutch DVD and accompanying “Full Fathom Five-Audio Field Recordings” CD will be available in over 1500 new retail outlets such as FYE, Best Buy, Coconuts, Fry’s, Hastings and Barnes & Noble.
“This is a fantastic progression for us after only three months as an active label.” states Weathermaker Music Label Manager Jon Nardachone.“Originally, our intention was to handle all CD and DVD sales directly through Weathermaker, but having the MVD Distribution team on board for the “Full Fathom Five” project ensures many ecstatic Clutch fans this holiday season.”
In other Clutch related news, some of the incredible footage from the “Full Fathom Five” DVD will be featured on Comcast Cable’s On Demand “Concert TV” channel starting December 15th, along with classic rock icons Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Black Crowes, Deep Purple, Santana, U2 & Motorhead.
Clutch’s live concert footage was produced and directed by Agent Ogden (Primus, Jon Comer, Music With Altitude) in Pittsburgh, Sayerville, Denver and Sydney Austrailia on the band’s 2007/2008 “From Beale Street to Oblivion” world tour. The track “Power Player” from that release, as well as “Full Fathom Five,” is featured on the Saw V Motion Picture Soundtrack released last week.
* Clutch will end 2008 the same way they began it, on the road. The band is confirmed along with Thin Lizzy, Black Label Society and Hawkwind to play the Hard Rock Hell Festival on December 6th in North Wales. Upon returning home, they will headline a short run with Viking Skull and Russian Circles as support.
