First things first, if you’ve never been to the 930 Club in DC, do yourself a favor and get there! It is a historic venue that has seen so many of the greats come through. Musicians that play stadiums and arenas have graced this stage! And that’s not too discredit any other musicians who may not perform at those kinds of venues, just a little nod to the status of the Club. 


Now, getting in I wasn’t sure what to expect. Sold out Clutch show, in the hometown, at 930 Club, pure chaos or manageable rowdiness? Well, let me tell you, It was packed to the brim. I know I said sold out, and that should be the first indicator of the capacity, but still, I’ve been to sold-out shows before, this was PACKED. It wasn’t hard to navigate, as everyone was pleasantly drunk, and more than willing to let people through, not so common at other shows. Speaking of the drunk thing, I’m fairly certain that this crowd CLEANED HOUSE, seriously. I watched so many people double and triple fisting, and stacking beers to no end. I mention this because in most cases, this would probably be a recipe for disaster, fights and outright belligerence. But, it’s Clutch, and everyone here is family, and it’s always seemed to be that way at a Clutch show.


Now, for those of you new to Clutch, they’re a combination of Alt Metal, Rockabilly, GoGo (more on that later), and Blues. Their lots of fun, and high energy like no other.


Speaking on GoGo, its the DC area music, it originated here in DC, and for the most part, stays in the area, except for MD and VA (also known as the DMV). Out here, GoGo has been a cultural and historical mainstay for decades. It is the music of the city and is the music of black culture in our city. For those that may not know, Clutch played as a GoGo band called the Small Upsetters (wink wink) and opened for DC GoGo Legends, Rare Essence. 


Before Clutch even comes out, there’s an intro track playing through the club. None other then Chuck Brown’s (DC GoGo Godfather) ‘We Need Some Money.” Outcomes Clutch comes out swinging with “You Can’t Stop Progress.” Instantly the crowd (myself included) just began dancing uncontrollably to the jam, and that’s how you kick off a show! I’m fairly certain this is the only way you should start a show, but I’m biased here in DC.


They played through a lot of their albums, with some serious throwback in the middle of the set, when they broke out ‘Rats’ from their first album!! I wasn’t the only one to lose it when I heard it, as the 930 club erupted! it is a definite favorite of mine, and not one I’ve gotten too hear personally live, in a long time. 


The encore kicked off with the introduction of one of the GoGo players onto the bongos (of whom I couldn’t even hear the name of, because at this point everyone WAS SUPER HAMMERED and yelling, but in good fun). And then introduced a local brass horn section!! Shit got crazy!!! 
They closed the evening with their cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s ‘Fortunate Son’ and we ALL went crazy, and the 930 club turned into the rowdiest dance hall for several minutes.
It was a great night, one to remember. And I encourage you all, whenever you have the chance, too go see Clutch!

Overtime Releases New Music Video For “All Out” Featuring MMA Fighter Conall Powers from Dog Pound Fight Team

With his new album “Divided We Fall” peaking at the top of the Google Play Country and Hip Hop Music chart, Montana country rapper Overtime is back with a brand new video for “All Out” featuring MMA Fighter Conall Powers from Dog Pound Fight Team online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qe8rNFo9lI. The video shows the tough training regimen that Conall Powers from Dog Pound Fight Team ensures to be one of the brightest young prospects in MMA today.

Overtime recently released ‘Divided We Fall’ and is known for his blue-collar work ethic and music that fuses together hip-hop, country, and rock. Born in Bozeman, MT but raised in Missoula, Overtime has been making a name for himself as one of the most explosive acts to mix together country and rap. With 5 albums under his belt, nearly 50 million Youtube views from his 150,000 subscribers and 125,000 monthly Spotify listeners, fans have latched onto Overtime’s heart, honesty and determination to prove that country boys can survive and thrive in the music business.

Overtime’s last album “United We Stand” charted on Billboard in three different categories, including R&B/Hip-Hop Album Sales at #43, Country album sales chart at #44, and the Heatseekers Mountain at #4. Everything he’s done has been with a blue-collar mindset, self-booking over 18 cross country tours without a booking agent, record label, or management. He’s as independent and self-sufficient as it comes in the industry.

His most successful album to date is ‘The Foundation’, released in 2016, which features his hit songs “Next To Me” and “Hunger In My Stomach”. The music video for the later went viral online racking up more than 16 million Youtube views.

The medley includes “The Force Theme” from Galactic’s Empire’s self-titled debut album. It also features “The Emperor’s Theme,” “Kylo Ren Arrives at the Battle,” and “Rey’s Theme” from their second album, Episode II.

IHSAHN TO RELEASE TELEMARK — THE FIRST OF TWO NEW EPS — ON FEBRUARY 14,2020 VIA CANDLELIGHT RECORDS 

BOTH EPS HIGHLIGHT THE HEAVY + PROGRESSIVE SIDES OF HIS MUSIC

WATCH VIDEO FOR FIRST SINGLE “STRIDIG”

IHSAHN will release the first of two five-track EPs inspired by and dedicated to his home county of Telemark on February 14, 2020 via Candlelight Records. The first EP available for pre-order here.

Watch the video for the first single “Stridig” here.

The first Telemark EP represents the dark, brutal, and aggressive side of Ihsahn’s compositional identity. With three new original songs and two ferocious cover versions, it represents a celebration of the defiant spirit that first inspired him to follow a creative path and to form Emperor three decades ago.

The title of the EP is Telemark,” explains Ihsahn. “It’s the county I grew up in and still live in, so the whole thing is situated there and very much inspired by that. So you could say it’s a roots-orientated album. I decided early on that I wanted this to be very purely related to black metal aesthetics. I wanted to distil the basic, bare bones black metal influences of my musical roots, given the overall concept, writing something for and from Telemark. I decided to do Norwegian lyrics for the first time, too. It feels very much closer to home in many ways.”

Visit the official store for special “Stridig”-specific merch.

TELEMARK EP TRACK LISTING:
“Stridig”
“Nord”
“Telemark”
“Rock ‘n’ Roll Is Dead” [Lenny Kravitz cover] 
“Wrathchild” [Iron Maiden cover]  

Having spent the last few years steadily becoming a prolific live performer, both with his solo band and a rejuvenated Emperor, Ihsahn already has firm plans to take the Telemark EP out on the road. The new material crackles with live energy and sounds custom-designed to tear people’s faces off in the live arena: with grand plans to bring the record’s chilling black metal aesthetics to life for some unique live performances, the defiant spirit of Telemarklooks certain to shake foundations across the world in 2020.

“My idea all along was that I would perform all the contents of this EP live, but to build the live set, piecing songs from my catalogue that fit with the aesthetics of the EP,” Ihsahn concludes. “I was very lucky to be able to collaborate with the Inferno Festival, so I’ll be premiering this show at Inferno in 2020. The plan is to then follow up this EP with its aesthetic and musical counterpart, wherein I can distill all those more progressive, experimental and mellow elements of my music.”
