AMERICA’S PREMIER
CLOWN-THEMED
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM COVER BAND
new orleans has a
cover band problem…
LSD CLOWNSYSTEM is a collective composed of musicians from globe-trotting bands, brilliant costume and makeup artists published in the biggest magazines on the planet, and the hottest up and coming DJ’s in the South. But it has become so much more than a cover band – it is the blurred line of the proscenium. Rabid fans dress the part as the crowd and the band become intertwined.
Face painters line the lobby and costume vendors set up racks of rainbow clown gear in the lot. The Clowns work with their favorite artists to create imaginative set pieces, build compelling narratives for each show, and sell out legendary venues in New Orleans to diverse crowds of party people.
It’s a family affair, and everyone’s trying to get in the door. Is this the greatest idea ever or a passing schtick? Only time will tell, and it’s about time.
