Between their festival summer dates in Europe, CLUTCH have given a few club shows called the “New World Samurai Tour 2024”. On one of the hottest days of German summer 2024 they turned up the heat some degrees more with an outstanding gig at Substage in Karlsruhe. Supported by Green Lung, a great night of blues and stoner infused rock and some notes of classic NWOBHM left a happy crowd.
