Check out Dylan's new band here. Apart from being Liam's brother and helping him record the Black and White Town EP, Dylan is a fantastic musician who has played in a number of bands including Iowa, who had a song on rotation on RAGE on ABCTV (Love Song)

In action at the 2012 Oak Park show. We debuted tunes such as Balmain, 1350 Miles and Happy.

This was designed by Liam, influenced by the Blur greatest hits collection for our 2010 Oak Park appearance.

As we never enlisted a bassist, keyboard player or drummer we were forced to use technology to create backing tracks. This is a backing track we created for a cover we did of 'The Cure''s Love Song. Made completely on GarageBand.

A self effacing song about one's own shortcomings. From the first originals back in 2010. This continued as a writing theme for the band, with 2010's 'Books' covering a similar theme and later, a tune never performed live; 'The Simple Life' further explored the underwhelming achievements of us as individuals.

A happy tune with a less than happy history, partly inspired by the trippy pop of the Dandy Warhols. From the second round of originals in 2012

From the first bunch of originals in 2010.

From our second bunch of originals. John wrote this about his hero; Paul Dempsey (of Something For Kate and solo fame).

Liam Stewart, formerly of Sy Snootles and subsequently of solo fame. Heavily influenced by shoe gaze  legends Pavement and '90's alt rockers Dinosaur Jr he mixed catchy pop with a rock approach and penned some ripping tunes!
Mark 'Beaver' Rodda is the laid back tunester. Sometimes compared with Paul Kelly, Mark was the author of songs like Balmain. Perfectly suited to the laid back small rooms, Mark's acoustic based ditties were the yin to Liam's yang.
The third part of the equation was John Hughes, who drew inspiration from a range of bands and musos which meant the songs ranged from melodic rock (Karma) to hero worshipping acoustic tunes like Dempsey

We performed at Oak Park Primary School where we debuted our first lot of original songs including: (I Wanna Be Like) Richie, Black and White Town, Karma, Not As Cool As I Can Be,

Liam is the personality of the band. As we all do, he plays guitar, writes and sings. You may have heard his power pop gem Black & White Town, which got some airplay on RRR. This song started out as one of the Massive Clowns' first bunch of originals. Eventually he teamed with brother Dylan (an amazing musician!) and put it out as a single. It's still available on iTunes!

In 2010 we were invited to perform at a public event. We decided that instead of going with our traditional covers, we'd try to write some of our own material. Within a couple of weeks we had a bunch of songs we'd written ourselves - a proud moment! Not long after this we entered the studio to record some of our songs. Here's a great collage put together by Massive Clowns' resident artiste'; Liam Stewart.

Unplugged! An intimate gig at a local venue - terrific acoustics in the room too! Another poster designed by Liam.

Our first gig was at the world renowned Rossmoyne Tavern back in June 2009, on the occasion of our good friend; Teddy's birthday. In fact, it was because of this auspicious occasion that the band formed at all. Teddy requested some of his friends put together some music for the night, and this grew into the Massive Clowns. Playing all covers, the Rossmoyne Tavern was packed (complete with massive smoke machine manned by the birthday boy himself). A good time had by all - the first test passed. It was a start...
