News : Melbourne’s Clowns release new single/music video “Freezing In The Sun”.
Melbourne based punk outfit, Clowns, have recently released their new single and music video “Freezing In The Sun”. The new single encapsulates heavy riffs and political lyrics of discontent. The lyrics demanding ‘tell me what the fuck I am supposed to do, when I know my taxes are paying for kids to be held in Nauru’, coupled with the dreamy and mesmerising chorus sung by bassist Hanny J.
The music video features appearances from Wayne “Slatts” Slattery of King Parrot, Nikki Brumen of Pagan and comedian Jonathan Schuster, plus band members of Clowns.
Clowns are currently touring across Europe, performing headline shows and appearing at Germany’s prestigious Wacken Open Air Festival. Australian fans will have their opportunity to see the band on home turf this September and October with special guests VOIID. See below for full tour dates.
