How many clowns does it take to make a hardcore band? Four. Hailing from Melbourne’s Eastern Bayside, Clowns released their second album earlier in the year. It’s called Bad Blood, in case you didn’t know, and it received enough good press to fill up a clown car. Punknews.org wrote: “You could play Bad Blood to a teenager in a Backtrack hoodie or a grizzled mosh veteran with a Black Flag tattoo and both would find something to love about it. If there’s one band seriously screaming out for overseas recognition, it’s Clowns.” The Loft, Warrnambool – May 15; The Karova, Ballarat – June 13; Music Man, Bendigo – June 26; and The Barwon, Geelong – June 27.
