Hellyeah
It’s not often that two rock bands of the magnitude of Clutch and Hellyeah will team up to co-headline a tour, but that’s what’s going on at the Gillioz Theatre on May 1. Tickets go on sale Friday and are $27.
According to reports, Clutch will play first and Hellyeah will play last, but both will act like headliners, “playing headliner sets” according to a press release. The bottom line is that metal and rock fans should be thrilled. Clutch’s sound is described as “Early salvos focused on sludgy, hardcore-fueled ferocity, but the band’s sound has evolved to embrace psych, blues, gritty funk, and Southern-rock swagger.” The band re-released Blast Tyrant in May of 2011 and it debuted at #26 on the Billboard Hard Rock Top 100, more than 7 years after the original version debuted at #15.
After originally starting as a side project by members of Mudvayne, Nothingface and Pantera, Hellyeah has turned into a consistent and popular force. It’s self-titled 2007 debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 9 and never looked back. The group is touring to supports its third studio album, Band of Brothers.
