Clown Core - Live April 12th, 2024

[@Mattsy_Cline]

Sound guy: fuck it

[@MoonmanSpacejam]

[@rachidvanheyningen]

Faaacts 😂😅😅

[@vozanderson8665]

LOL facts

[@gr6e]

Camera operators too apparently

[@notsnackbar]

theres two types of people, clowncore fans and clowncore

[@sonnymoorexsonic]

god i love the engineering in this video i need it studied; i just imagine somebody who doesnt know them sitting at the desk trying to figure out what the fuck is happening while sporatically changing the levels

[@cnackermusic]

It's truly boggling, especially since from what I saw the bands directly before and after this had much more complex setups and sounded totally fine. I guess livestream sound guy had to walk away and put their infant child in charge of the board lmao

[@Papagolash]

@@cnackermusic They were having technical issues with the backdrop visuals a few times as well. Mostly noticeable during Existence (where they stopped for a bit to get it fixed), and Pizza Party.

[@rambleron5720]

@@Papagolash did it sound like this Live?

[@DavidCarmonaUX]

holy crap, this sets the stage of worst mix ever... sounds like they didnt know what stage to focus on

[@D0NU75]

i thought the file selection screen (at various points but clearly at "Computers") was a ClownCore joke, but then i saw their 2023 live performance and i realized how much the staff was screwing them up. what a disrespectful thing to do, they made ClownCore dirty.

[@tonyfoxxbuilds1920]

I was there during this set. I convinced my boss to join my cousin and I to see them. I was not prepared for the AI generated visuals late in the set. This was my boss and my cousins 1st encounter with clown core. Neither of us have spoken to each other since. 10/10 will see them again. Apparently, all the members of sublime were in the crowd as well.

[@ihateeveryoneequallyy]

Did this really happen lol that’s awesomd

[@michaelluis5517]

I can confirm that at least Jakob from Sublime was in there Weekend 2. He was behind me in line and we had a brief chat.

[@tachikomakusanagi3744]

They will never speak to you again

[@sfurules]

All....remaining members of Sublime....

[@CJBarrow1]

WHAT THE HELL SOUND GUY!CLOWN CORE CAN RECORD THEMSELVES IN A PORT-A-POTTY AND AN ENTIRE ALBUM DRIVING AROUND IN A VAN!!! I still loved this performance and I need to see them play live ASAP

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

Do they do birthday parties?

[@IvelLeCog]

or corporate functions ha

[@user-wg3wj6ur9z]

I am sure for $50,000 they will come do your show!

[@_MrPinto]

Idk but I think they might do pizza parties

[@EDDAHLEN]

God damn. I wish.

[@GrinXpedia]

they did.... once upon a time.... it was Jacob Collier bday.

[@throwplate]

So this is what Daft Punk are up to these days

[@vulgaris1251]

Lol🤣🤣

[@TheHardcoreStu]

no, Clown Core ate them

[@d0b0d0b]

Stu, Like, they really did. ) 🤣

[@edmoncada]

Clown Core rode the short bus to greatness. I love them more and more every time I hear them.

[@DigginDan]

it was a blue van

[@user-wg3wj6ur9z]

@@DigginDan and a porta potty....

[@carycoleman9115]

So glad I saw them as they rarely perform in the UK

[@soullessmeatpuppet7840]

The short VAN.

[@awesomebillfromdawsomevill7788]

I love this for the people who came into it blind, with no knowledge of them

[@iambiglucas]

The musical chops this takes is absolutely off the charts.

[@lucasschachtaudio]

The way Louis can perfectly hold the tempo and hit every note and key on the keyboard even though it's dark as hell and then strobe lights and all...

[@acalthu]

I've been out of the loop for a few years. So it's confirmed Louis one half?

[@seanhamilton5449]

@@acalthuyeah Louis Cole but idk the other but would like to. Might be out there already

[@barrysniff]

@@seanhamilton5449other half is Sam Gendel

[@CSAudio]

Yup, Sam Gendel. Can easily tell from some of the Knower recordings / videos

[@oldguysplaymetal5517]

Man, WTF is up with the sound people? Literally sounds like someone is turning the volume of all the various instruments up and down and never really reached any kind of balance, at least never keeps it. This show is usually surprisingly heavy for just the two of them. Perhaps had 2-3 mic cables that weren't working. Louis' bass drum was turning on and off all through the set. He must have been pissed.

[@arealglitterb0y]

glad I checked it out weekend 2 instead of Weekend 1

[@LightingGermany]

Welcome to the world of free jazz 👻

[@jamesgoddard9341]

Perhaps the multi instrumental and high / low / noise approach to the songs made the mixing a little difficult live!

[@MoonmanSpacejam]

Might be the shitty audio from a camera. Probably sounds better live

[@joelbergsma7019]

Saw them in Austin. It was one of the best live mixes I’ve ever heard. This show fucked up.

[@stevestevenson8899]

These guys are truly inspired. You don't hear or see anything like this.

[@mdandry]

This performance seems like this band got booked, but they didn’t find out until the day before.

[@Mehoyboi]

yeah lots of bad shit can happen at these big festivals if bands dont get to soundcheck first. its only the major acts that get to do soundchecks.

[@8vortexetrov8]

No this is just how they are

[@Mehoyboi]

@@8vortexetrov8 did you not notice the technical difficulties? i think thats what hes referring to.. we all know the band is amazing.

[@jaysteed2804]

The sound live was great. Whoever mixed for the live stream didn’t do a good job

[@tonyfoxxbuilds1920]

No they knew just didn't Care, procrastinated then forgot about til the morning before and reluctantly drove 2 hours to the middle of Indio. Got sand in their eyes and ass. Then made magic happen. We were all joyfully confused in the tent.

Brought my brother to this set as his first time experiencing clown core and now he doesn't come to family dinner at mom's anymore.

[@bxlfr3]

i thought you were exaggerating but HOLY FUCK WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE SOUUND?? its like they had a a 4K camera for image recording but took the sound from someone's iPhone that got lost a mile away from the tent....

[@donkimble]

It’s on purpose

[@stirbutnotshake84]

@@donkimble they have another live posted on their channel 2 month ago and it doesn't sound shit lol

Read the video description

[@bxlfr3]

@@user-my3uu2mt8q thats what i meant, i thought the description was exagerating before they started playing

[@tonyfoxxbuilds1920]

This is how it sounded live. Perfect

[@tkienzle22]

So good! I imagine everyone there had no clue what they were getting into that night. David Lynch would definitely approve.

[@tkienzle22]

Also if anybody wants to know their QR code is still scannable.

[@threeblades]

Exactly what I expected from a Clown Core set.

[@madkeyz661]

Points granted!

[@sethcampbell9005]

i cant even fathom the amount of work that when into this

[@sebastienl5169]

I would say none...and a lot at the same time.

[@einnaoeilifu2648]

29:03 can we appreciate the “Bleed” drum pattern by Meshuggah. That’s very tasty and metal af.

[@FOSSIL13drums]

The rhythm is a drum rudiment called a herta (pronounced hair-ta), it’s a very fun rudiment, especially playing it over the bar and such!

[@tfinityofficial]

that song is my literal childhood man I’m so happy

[@smaduro888]

ABSOLUTE FUCKING GENIUS!!! APOCALYPTIC BRILLIANCE OF HEAVENLY ANGELS... Mere mortals will never comprehend. The world can end now.

[@Cesariwis]

I didn't know they did live performances, I didn't even imagine it was a serious project, when I saw them for the first time years ago I thought they only did it for memes. They sound great!!

[@Desttro73]

Meeting Brendan Fraser was the highlight of my night.

[@bugsysiegel89]

I can't wait to see them when they tour again east coast. Knower is amazing live but I NEED to see Clown Core, always loved seeing the videos on Adult Swim back in the day of them playing in a Porta-John.

[@carycoleman9115]

They’re so good live! I saw them last September at one of the few gigs theyve performed in the UK. I’m seeing Knower in September this year too which is going to be great

[@DevilsJointx]

I just saw knower in brooklyn a week ago clown core last year

[@labbeaj]

Damn this is so good! This is not an easy performance at all!

[@epicpyro100]

I’ve been waiting to see a live performance this is amazing

[@4reos]

Thanks for the upload, been looking for this performance ever since I saw this live.

the obscurity of being in space for a very brief moment in time

That can't be the weirdest musician you've heard of, right? You gotta get exploring.

@@JUNK_ZONE to be fair, she's like the grandmother of experimental music. lotta weird bands owe her one

[@LowOutput]

I think for Halloween this year I’m mounting a TV on the porch and looping this concert while trick-or-treaters come up in hopes for candy. AND THEN GIVE THEM INSIDE-OUT PIZZA INSTEAD OF CANDY!

[@Bug1g]

Wow! this is so cool! I just found these guys here on KZbin and know I am obsessed, the way they sound is pretty unique, I love it man!

[@GrinXpedia]

Thank you for uploading it! But god damn, they did them dirty with the audio mixing

[@aaronmorrill3716]

These two were both extraordinary accomplished musicians before clown core. For those unfamiliar with their background I think you'd be surprised at their style outside of Clown Core. Brilliant musicians!

[@jondargel1496]

From an adult swim fever dream to the stage. Finally ❤

[@anonymous-yk9sz]

lol I was watching this set through the livestream in April, I was watching it with my mom to troll her 😭💀 little did I know it was gonna be quite as insane as it ended up being lmao… even better and more hilarious though!!

[@eliosnavarro]

Thanks for uploading this. I missed the live stream last month and I just randomly found this today. These clowns are truly something special.

[@upcastband]

This on another level of greatness. One of the very few bands that are unbelievably fresh and unlike anyone else, and at the same time so much fun to listen to and watch.

[@m.t.6969]

3 is gonna be played at my funeral. Surreal, beautiful, and sad all at once. Splendid song, ClownCore. Simply a marvel.

[@tonyfoxxbuilds1920]

There was this cute girl center stage near the back with like 5 friends. She was feeling this set big time! None of her friends were amused. I gave her a high five as they left half way thru... i should've asked for her number. She left before the "fleshy" AI visuals.

[@ChrisCardenDrums]

Ok youre a hero for uploading this

[@davidj65]

awesome band, my fav for this gig without a name

[@EllieShockley]

Their use of vocals here departs from the album versions, and it is pretty amusing, haha

[@SgtBluntman]

Louis and Sam killing it always! they were not prepared for the AI visuals lol

[@StuJo2]

I think you're on the wrong video. This is clearly left clown and right clown. Not sure who Louis and Sam are.

[@illkissyourightnow]

These are Clowns.

[@NateGH36O]

You mean left clown and right clown?

[@jaysteed2804]

I was there and they chased off many people. Multiple people around me said I can’t handle this or why would they do that and left. It was one of the coolest live performances I’ve ever seen.

In this chaos, everyone will find something interesting for themselves, but my favorite is "Pizza Party".

Those visuals are incredible too

hahah the visuals for computers is sosoos wild

[@OrionIsDaBest777]

Jesus....when Pizza Party played I only remember the tinny, cruddy version from the album. Man o man were we in for a treat. NO one at the Austin show stood still the entire time they were playing. The bass was thumping in our chests....shit got primal!

Louis Cole and Sam Gendal see knower robocop. Watch clown core, same drum kit tape and all also Louis Cole shorts features the exact drum kit in clown core vids.

[@d0b0d0b]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GrinXpedia]

​@vulgaris1251 KNOWER, Louis Cole and Clowncore use the exact same letter font, all three use the same visual editing, there's a metric shitload CC musical cues in KNOWER and LC songs (and viceversa), the drum kit drum clown uses is the literal same one Louis has been using since he started posting videos ...yet people will say this is Rod Stewart

Don't get me wrong I love these guys I just assume everything is on purpose thats how good they are

[@lo2740]

nope, the audio engineer on this set, if ever there was one, did an awful job, but yeah, louis drum set naturally sounds like shit, which doesnt help. However about everything else that could go wrong did go wrong on the mix so, i blame coachella mostly for that awful audio performance, it was painful to hear.

[@TheWrightClanX5]

Quite possibly the greatest performance ever. Analyse it and please get back to me with your thoughts. I'd be very interested to hear them.

[@d0b0d0b]

Well, I think you're near. obviously, a lot of other performers are a part of the global picture - being "the greatest", supposedly, - but, you know, they STAND OUT. Just out of everything. Nothing comes close. they have a special vibe. LOL. but they're also deadly serious, I believe. This truly sounds apocalyptic. In a good way.

[@d0b0d0b]

that's my thoughts.
