Download Festival, record labels and new songs: A candid chat with Melbourne punks Clowns
Words By Tammy Walters
There’s no funny business when it comes to Melbourne DIY punks Clowns.
From their clashing beginning in 2013 they’ve had their eyes set on the prize, churning out a jukebox worth of political-meets-party anthems, taking their chaotic traveling circus across international lands and appearing on multiple major festival lineups far and wide. But that all came to a screeching halt last March.
A week prior to one of music’s biggest carnivals – the one that would welcome and carry the Black Parade – COVID-19 came into effect. No performers, no animalistic energy, no Deftones, Jimmy Eat World, and no Clowns – Download was as good as done for 2020.
Clowns just announced their first Melbourne show in nearly two years
Words by Tom Parker
The punk kings come to 170 Russell as part of Melbourne Music Week – Extended.
Beloved Melbourne punks Clowns have just revealed news on a grand scale. It’s not a new track, album or livestream monotony; it’s a Melbourne live show – their first of the sort in nearly two years.
Throughout the calamity that was 2020, Clowns hibernated, resting for what came next – the ensuing opportunity for them to strut their stuff in an environment that worked; an environment that did their blistering punk rock justice.
