Keepin' The Dive Alive: Clowns To Help Revitalise Melb Music Venues With Special Gigs

Aussie legends Clowns are doing their part to help revitalise some of Melbourne's favourite live venues, today announcing some headline shows throughout the city next month. 

The band will play at five different venues in one week, including The Espy Basement, The Old Bar and Wrangler Studios, and each will be unique because they'll perform one of their albums in full at each show.

"Clowns started their career in the nutrient rich soils of Melbourne’s local music venues, which over time has spawned four critically acclaimed albums containing music that has collectively reached the ears of millions; whether it be playing live at the world’s biggest heavy music festivals in Europe, charting in the NACC American College Radio Charts or pissing off that grumpy old man next door while they play in your mates living room at a 2am house party," a statement issued today reads.

"These institutions have provided an environment that has allowed Clowns (and many other artists) career to flourish, but unfortunately a harsh winter like this could be enough stunt future yields for good… but we have a plan!"

Check out the gig plans below:

The Old Bar - performing Lucid Again

Last Chance - performing Bad Blood
