After years of earning a legion of fans worldwide via viral YouTube videos, musical duo Clown Core held their first-ever live shows inside the Lodge Room in Los Angeles.

While Clown Core gained fame with their 2018 studio album Toilet, the act's origin is surprising for some people. In 2010, they unveiled their debut self-titled studio album to some buzz on various music blogs. Following the album's release, however, the act simply fell off the radar, and any discussions about Clown Core diminished as a result.

Through the help of Adult Swim in 2018, however, they suddenly became the talk of the town with their unorthodox performance. Trapped inside a porta-potty, the duo managed to wow viewers with their astonishing blend of grindcore, jazz, and electronica to deliver something that's difficult to label at times.

For their performance on Friday evening, some fans arrived wearing clown makeup to show their solidarity to the act. As the duo kicked off their set with "Three" inside a tent posing as a porta-potty, a bevy of cell phones were aimed at the stage in anticipation of the band's arrival. When the front of the tent came down, everyone erupted at the sight of the musical duo, who donned white outfits for the occasion.

Seeing Clown Core live for many was like finally meeting that one internet friend you've connected with for years. It's a great feeling for both parties involved. This specific internet friend, however, grabs your car keys and takes you on a cross-country car chase that lands both of you in a Boston prison cell. Seeing the duo perform their material in the flesh felt unreal. The act went from a chaotic grindcore assault one minute to a jazzy section fit for a Kenny G record the next minute, and the crowd simply embraced the madness.

With song titles such as "Brendan Fraser" and "Google Your Own Death," it was hard to not chuckle at certain moments throughout the night. During the track properly titled "Farts," both members of Clown Core dropped various flatulence sound bites over the monitors, which led to cries of "One more fart" from the audience. During the set, the band took quick breaks to showcase their Paypal barcode on screen for fans to donate money and showed some YouTube reactions to their eyebrow-raising visuals.

As expected, the duo launched into the song "Toilet," which found the act re-enacting THAT particular moment in the music video. Following their encore of "Hell," the duo exited the stage after a 45-minute set that felt like a religious experience for many in attendance.

Kicking off the show was a DJ set from Clown Core associate DJ Driver. Unlike a majority of DJ sets, DJ Driver mainly sat in their chair, pushed play on their device, and stared blankly at the crowd with their head leaning against their fist. The music played during the set wasn't dancey or filled with familiar tunes; ambient music flowed throughout Lodge Room as concert attendees tried to get Driver's attention by waving and throwing up the heart symbol like they were attending a rave. Midway through the set, a mysterious individual began bringing various plates of food to Driver. Eating dinner during a DJ set is questionable, but the packed crowd simply cheered every time Driver took a bite or had a sip of water.

After 45 minutes, Driver abruptly unplugged their device and walked off the stage ending their peculiar set. While a set like this wouldn't find a proper audience at an event such as Ultra Music Festival or Coachella, it was quite appropriate alongside the mysterious ethos of Clown Core.
