.System Of A Clown in San Jose

Apr 2, 2024

As far as tribute bands go, it doesn’t get crazier or better than System Of A Clown. The band consists of top-notch musicians who know the SOAD discography like the back of their hands. But that’s not all—they perform those songs dressed as creepy clowns. Why wouldn’t they? They are the zany answer to a zany situation, namely that SOAD is an extremely popular band that never formally broke up but rarely performs live and has not released a full-length record since 2005. Enter the heavy metal clowns to save the day.
