Time to celebrate 35 years of psychedelic stoner rock: we caught MONSTER MAGNET at one of their stops on their anniversary tour, bringing us together with support DAILY THOMPSON a night full of psychedelic infused Stoner-Rock at LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart, Germany! And they showed that they’re still an excellent live band and still the benchmark against which established and upcoming bands must measure themselves.

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.
