Clown Core live in Paris 28 Feb 2023

[@mattosborne1366]

Finally conclusive proof that this isn't Sam Gendel and Louis Cole. This show is in Europe; those guys live in America. Those places aren't the same at all and very far apart.

[@bigfacedboy]

I knew it, thanks for the incontrovertible evidence 😉

[@AdamBuker]

ME: Well maybe they could have traveled. CIA HANDLER: Have you got a lock on the target? CIA AGENT: Affirmative, sir! ME: As much as Louis Cole travels, he and Sam could have purchased airplane... CIA HANDLER: FIRE! ME: *lol dead*

[@kevincullen3086]

I hate to say it but this video released 2 months ago europe, which i assume was the start of their european tour, i live in ireland, and im going to see louis cole TOMORROW Checkmate my guy🤣

[@bigfacedboy]

@kevin cullen yeah, well not only did I see Knower last September and Clown Core in February, I'm going to see LC in Manchester on Wednesday and London on Friday! ;o)

I believe the truth and beauty of Clown Core is that it encompasses the whole of our existential dread and re-gifts it as the shitty joke that it always was.

Well put.

Wrong. Imagine thinking this is good. Problem with music nowadays is shit like this is appreciated and held in reverence. It's what we would call USB music back in the day for edm shit. Shtitty drumming, sax is a jumbled mess of sounds, using a keyboard to make the overused sounds in abudance. All in all, fuck all in this. And "Clown core", name or not is funny to me. As in a laughing at them, not with them approach. Hardly heavy, hardly anything musically, just a bunch of clownhorns out of structure, hence could never be in structure outside of comedy. So all in all, these guys wish they were like Yucko the Clown. Talent, be it comedic, or musically, anything where talent can reside, they'd take it. This was a copy paste of a shitty comment made earlier. Clown core is easy to hate, hell anything is with no talent, plus they are fucking garbage. Funny way of spelling it considering you are spelling it with an "A" instead of a "G", unless you are thinking about Ass. Then sure. Ass-awe.

[@penguinista]

This is what a normal rock show would seem like to someone who had grown up in the wilderness.

[@ruckusthebunny401]

They're getting more confident with every show, they sound great

[@matatias]

I will never complain about people filming concerts anymore. Merci.

[@BobbyDukeArts]

Only problem I had with their performance when I saw them in LA was it was way to short. Only 36 minutes. Other than that, it was great

[@bigfacedboy]

We had 45 mins in Paris but I understand there were technical difficulties in LA.

[@A-man1998]

Seeing people mosh to clown core makes me happy to see people vibe that intensely

[@beerfish109]

I feel strange, normally totally relate to metal live vibes. Been telling people to listen to Clown Core so many times. But for some reason, and I can't explain why, I would just love to sit down and enjoy them live in a quiet audience. Then again, might feel totally different when I actually get to see them live (if ever).

[@eeyoreyeen]

[@rodentcafeteria]

Once the damn box finally opened up, it was pretty cool. Catchy pulsating opening riff and killer use of the lights! Beats playing inside a van, I guess. Nice to see them getting some attention.

[@openreels]

As ridiculous and brilliant as Clown Core can be! This is truly "performance art" in the original sense of the term. Great work on the lights and visuals, with white tux and tails!

[@bigfacedboy]

Indeed, and DJ Driver was also performance art at its finest.

I'm very happy with how well it came out considering it was shot on a cheap phone. I'm not a big fan of gig videos but this was a once in a lifetime experience that I travelled a thousand miles to see so there was no way I was leaving without some record... and it turned out as good as this

I know this may seem unpossible but they’re genuinely very, very talented musicians. The rhythm section is a two-for-one deal and the sax playing is sublime. I’m on the moon.

[@Taeodoestech]

Made total sense when I found out the drummer is Louis Cole and Sax Player is Sam Gendel. Knower is tight, but Louis has so many different facets to his style and gets to really exploit that here. They need to open for Muele!

Thank you for posting this up, not bad quality too for being shot with a tater. I am an old rocker just discovering CC and other bands from around the world, and though not a heavy metal fan per-se, with a few of the old school exceptions, I started my rabbit hole this time with VOB a few months back, fantastic group, which oddly(or not) lead me to these folks, and man they do put on a show and a half! Latest find exploring was Viagra Boys, seriously wtf thrashing, entertaining as fk!

If you like Clowncore you should check out the drummer's other projects, they are literally all insane. His name is Louis Cole, he does solo stuff as well as being in a band called Knower.. but for starters you should look up "Vulfpeck Louis Cole It Gets Funkier IV", epic video 🥲
