Clutch Unveil 2013 North American ‘Earth Rocker’ Tour Dates
Clutch are just getting ready to kick off their 'Earth Rocker' World Tour this Tuesday (Jan. 22) in London, and there's now a North American tour leg for fans to get excited about as well. The veteran rockers have revealed that their latest batch of shows will feature primary support act, Orange Goblin, as well as upstart rockers Kyng and Lionize.
The tour gets underway March 8 at Bogart's in Cincinnati and currently runs through an April 20 finale in Baltimore. Drummer Jean-Paul Gaster said of the North American run, "We have a great bill lined up for the U.S. tour that kicks off in March. Get there early to check out Kyng, Lionize and the mighty Orange Goblin."
'Earth Rocker' is not only the name of Clutch's tour, it's also the title of their forthcoming album. The band's Weathermaker Music label has confirmed a worldwide March 19th release for the disc, with pre-orders and special bundle packages currently being offered here. The lead single for the album is the title track. It's currently streaming through Brooklyn Vegan and can be heard below.
In addition to their upcoming tour, the band will drop in on the South By Southwest festival in Austin. An exact date, location and set time have yet to be revealed, but the information will be announced shortly.
