CLOWN CORE - Live in Paris 2023

[@baltimoreluke]

clown core is the only band i'll let my kids listen to

[@AVM26]

Parenting level: parallel universe.

[@GizzyDillespee]

Umm... those weren't your kids...

[@chrisnunez111]

Unironically my 10 year old LOVES em😁

[@aaronsyed]

At 7 and 5 they are fucking loving it. I’m seriously contemplating to bring ‘em to a show 😅

[@baltimoreluke]

@@aaronsyed yeah, i mean, well look, if Beethoven was alive and playing gigs, you'd want to take your kids...same thing. seriously tho, i think CC perfectly parallels the absurdity of...well, pretty much everything current. it's a reflection of the times.

[@7AKV7]

This what happens when jazz players go insane and genius at the same

[@gman197922725]

The term smooth jazz always implied it hard a rough counterpart and I feel Clowncore is it.

[@Skeleton_With_VR]

@@gman197922725 rough jazz already exists... its called jazz lol

[@thedoc1210]

in da grow tent some dank happen

[@chasehimmelman188]

The fact they can play what they’re playing with a whole lightshow going or just in complete fucking darkness is nuts

[@katyungodly]

Muscle memory go brrrr

[@astrorobinson3716]

No with masks on that obscure their vision as well. They’re literally playing blind.

[@chriskiefer7493]

They sound decent considering they're not in a van.

[@k-notes5904]

Or a porta-potty

[@Hatmanperson]

true. thats impressive

[@kjakich]

No need for sarcasm. At least they’re trying.

[@FishAesthetic]

"the earth is flat because you are fat" absolutely iconic.

[@EphemeralExtasy]

I can't get over the fact that these French folks are all like "5!... 4!... 3!... 2!... 1!... BREAD!!!!" Absolutely hilarious.

[@LittleWiggles]

It must have been such an amazing experience to see this live

[@andrewcarrilo3278]

I saw that they were coming to Austin and automatically went to go buy a ticket. Ain't no fuckin way in hell I'm missing this live

[@zombi3907]

I'm so jealous. I actually don't know where to follow the various knower-verse bands and musicians to even get this info

[@upsidedownjesus]

​@@andrewcarrilo3278I went to the Austin show and was so far back I couldn't see shit. Sounded good though.

[@carlklitzke9455]

Saw them in Chicago. Loudest, most sensory-intense show I have seen.

[@gizzyandthelizzy]

It was. Go if you can. The LA show was cancelled recently and I’m sad but I flew to Chicago last year for this show and it was probably the best decision of my year 🙃

[@patrickvelazquez3419]

It’s gonna be hard to explain to my kids in the future just how insanely genius two clowns with a drum set, a keyboard,a saxophone, and little clown horns was. I’m gonna look insane to anyone I try to show them clown core but so be it.

[@sr60030]

Someone should send Louis Cole this vid. maybe they could collaborate or even double-drum on stage

[@williamhornabrook8081]

It would be so nuts if it turned out that they weren't Sam and Louis. Like imagine if it turned out to be Daft Punk in retirement.

[@karadan100]

Louis Cole is such a fucking good drummer.

[@begg3495]

He is, why are you saying that on a Clowncore vid though?

[@david-eler]

​​@@begg3495 sure, definitely not Louis Cole there lol

[@begg3495]

@@david-eler but this guy's wearing a clown mask and I've never seen Louis Cole wear a clown mask

[@karadan100]

@@begg3495 because the drummer is Louis Cole.

[@thomaskauser8978]

Could only be L. Cole

[@shoyusha]

ah yes, finally, i have been waiting for the natural evolution of jazz to lead us to this glorious momement

[@evilldead6824]

Clown Core always felt like they were a band that came out in the 90s. Spawned from local 90s public access and would have been huge in the 2000s by breaking into the mainstream on adult swim. lol. Just my alternate history of clown core.

[@vidavieira1595]

Same feeling

[@iorishishigami]

Pure genius and genuine duo. They even played it perfectly in the dark 🔥🤡

[@ThunderStruck94660]

Can you imagine the practice that goes into this kind of coordination?

[@HugoFdosSantos]

04:51 You came for that. 🔊🥁🎹🎷💥

[@grizzlywhisker]

I remember coming across a couple of their videos many years ago, I didn't realize they were popular enough to do live shows. This is pretty cool.

[@Soundry777]

Seen them twice, the crowd is the best, their stage presence and improv is unmatched.

[@DaveyL1954]

This is insanely brilliant. Absolutely creative. Technically as tight as a duck's bum, and thoroughly entertaining. Louis and his sax player are genius for coming up with this.

[@takeguard]

Woah, Sam Gendel is his own man!

[@timkuligfreemusic]

I have a similar reaction to this music as I did to Mr. Bungle back in the 90s - you guys are amazing :)

[@zombi3907]

That crowd was hot. That is a very food audience!

[@sheastewart7608]

Spicy!!

[@Jefferson-ly5qe]

They're cwd positive

This is such high level art dude.

it's funny because "pain" is "bread" in french

Thanks Oprah

3:46 gotta roll the sleeves up for the ceremonial farts.

[@johnboe3073]

The sax guy is fire

[@pattern_world_clockwork6812]

Sam Gendel's not getting enough love in the comments

[@CorrosiveColin]

I don't know why you would think one of these people is Sam Gendel. I see two unhinged individuals in clown masks not world renowned musicians.

[@sacrificialpancakes]

what's with people bringing up such obscure yet talented artists in this comment section? I mean yeah, Lewis Cole and Sam Gendel are both amazing artists. But what does that have to do with this?!

[@MC-BOT]

​@@sacrificialpancakesthey both are the clown core guys lol

[@sacrificialpancakes]

@@MC-BOT I know, it's a running gag. They've never(?) officially stated that they are the clowns. It's so very clearly them, so it's funny. I should've hammed it up more, sorry

[@jeffreyhemphill3831]

Who TF is Sam Gendell?

[@merkin771]

BRILLIANT!!!!!! best live performance since 91 Mr BuNgLE tour pure magic!!

[@256k_]

right? this totally has Mr bungle energy.

[@uli12v96]

today in Berlin !!! best concert i ever had !!!

[@RUBBERTANK_3]

I didn't have much hope for the future of music but this, this is original.

[@lapinlogic6267]

Telling Clown Core fans that they like Jazz be like "PAIN!!!!!"

[@jmap]

As this was in Paris there’s a non-zero chance that someone in the room read it like “…bread?”

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Make Jazz fun Again!

[@XXpreskoolIsHardXX]

THEY ACTUALLY DID IT!!!!

That’s Swedish clown core

[@monkeyman1282]

I’ve been bit by the clown core bug. I actually cannot get enough of this shit. Absolutely batshit insanity and I’m here for all of it lmao.

[@phiend2248]

[@kitkatlou102]

1:00 french people being confused why bread was written on the wall

[@GeneralPurpose3]

LMAO

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

French people have a special connection to the world of clowns; they got the vibe

[@Tiptronics]

So it’s.. electro death jazz? Cool

[@oscarlangham3789]

Wow these guys are sick af

[@pedrogonzaga1729]

Louis Cole would love to see this guys live

[@beeble2003]

Nah, he'd spend the whole thing hiding in a portapotty.

[@adrianocostim3696]

the best thing to come out on this decade, shame they dont produce constantly.

[@madmanadam1]

Well if you want to be literal, Louis cole is pretty much ALWAYS producing.

[@ThePoehladian]

These guys literally never clown around ! All business 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@midwestmafia8391]

Mr Bungle and Gwar all on one stage.

[@HPLovethrash]

When I'm watching TV with no sound and closed captioning on and it says "music 🎶🎶", I assume this is what's on the soundtrack

[@twiggy27111976]

These guys are my spirit animal

[@ChrisCardenDrums]

Ive gotta make it to a clowncore show. What an experience that must be.

[@GizzyDillespee]

Did you ever go to a big music festival, and hang out behind port-o-potty row, in the back and kinda between the 2 stages, and just LISTEN? I can tell Clown Core has....

[@jamesg1425]

First time I have ever seen this… what a performance! I like these intimate shows. Not a big fan of mega events normally, they are too disconnected and commercial. This is something truly memorable!

[@deetzyboywonder9312]

They need to do a show in the sphere in vegas

[@jeremiekonegni4957]

This is so much better than I expected. This is so awesome

[@FallicIdol]

Looks like a banger of a show

From my experience things tend to get worse creatively when you have more options

[@styrosynth3917]

@@Tiptronics hmm, i think it depends on how a good manager you've got, and how mature and lucid your crew is.

[@Pieman6711]

constraint is a good thing to have in the creative process. This is also applicable to most real world scenarios where you have to come up with solutions with minimal logistics or manning to attain a goal. it only makes sense to have it part of the creative process in art.
