[@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

[@chriskiefer7493]

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

[@k-notes5904]

Or a porta-potty

[@Hatmanperson]

true. thats impressive

[@FishAesthetic]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@shoyusha]

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

[@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

[@iorishishigami]

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

[@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.

[@StuJo2]

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

[@HugoFdosSantos]

04:51 You came for that. 🔊🥁🎹🎷💥

[@ThePoehladian]

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

[@magicjuand]

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

[@BenjaminIMeszaros]

Thanks Oprah

[@zombi3907]

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

[@sheastewart7608]

Spicy!!

[@Jefferson-ly5qe]

They're cwd positive

[@timkuligfreemusic]

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

[@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.

[@lorenzobiondi5727]

I didn't expect musical genius to look like this. But after all that's exactly what makes it innovative

[@johnboe3073]

The sax guy is fire

[@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?”

[@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!

[@phiend2248]

If I ever walk by a place that says a Clown Core play tonight I’m there…

[@ELECTRICSCARS]

Imagine Fredrik Thordendal will join this Dudes 🙌🏼

[@NotreDameSentiento]

All I kept thinking was that the intro VERY much reminded me of future breed machine and I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in thinking that

[@elgee]

That’s Swedish clown core

[@RUBBERTANK_3]

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

[@rosaelenatoledo]

This is such high level art dude.

[@m.dave2141]

Ironically and non ironically

[@GeneralPurpose3]

LMAO

[@Tiptronics]

So it’s.. electro death jazz? Cool

[@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....

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Make Jazz fun Again!

[@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 !!!

[@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

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

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

[@midwestmafia8391]

Mr Bungle and Gwar all on one stage.

[@XXpreskoolIsHardXX]

THEY ACTUALLY DID IT!!!!

[@vulfura]

Oh my god I didn’t even realize how tiny that kick drum is lol

[@smars1161]

5:49 Screaming goat cameo

[@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!

[@kithkani]

I was worried when i seen they weren't in their van, but this didn't disappoint! Thanks for sharing :D

[@blvckdxvth]

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.

There's really no seizure like a Clown Core seizure.

[@squirrelgray945]

So good. The end... hilarious.

[@jeremiekonegni4957]

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

[@styrosynth3917]

Imagine what could these guys do with unlimited budget.

[@Tiptronics]

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.

I want to dance to this on my Wedding night🥹

[@shawnspicer1805]

I don’t know what’s going on here, I saw the van vid back in the day and I just found out they played Coachella this year. I have so many questions but working in music for over a decade DJ, producing, licensing I can say this. Whoever they are, I’d be shocked if they were self taught. Meme or not both of these individuals have worked incredibly hard at their craft. According to wiki they’re assumed to be jazz musicians and that should come as a shock to no one. The sax solos and that pocket, were incredible. I’ll throw down a gentleman’s wager and say the drummer got his start marching. That snare was clean and effortless. Just one man’s opinion, but look as silly, foolish, scary, unsettling, cute, dangerous, fashionable or whatever else as you want. The music never lies. These clowns mean serious business. 🤡

[@andhenevercameback7117]

the vibe was so perfect

[@zkze1268]

A character in a famous italian comedy movie said "per scherzare bisogna essere seri" (to joke you have to be serious) they are pretty serious misicians indeed
