SLIPKNOT's CLOWN Interviewed On LAZER 103.3 Radio Station; Video Available

September 29, 2009

On September 17, SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan was interviewed by Andy Hall of the Lazer 103.3 radio station about Crahan's recent gallery showing and the 10th anniversary of the release of the band's debut album. Watch the chat in two parts below.

Crahan's contemporary art debut and birthday celebration was held on September 24 at the Hotel Kirkwood in Des Moines, Iowa. The show featured Crahan's acrylic on canvas paintings, framed photography, prints and Polaroids from his upcoming book, "The Apocalyptic Nightmare Journey". Mike Pfaff and Jeff Karnowski of Crahan's band DIRTY LITTLE RABBITS performed jazz/world music and played a second set of covers with their group THE $NACK$. DJ Starscream (Sid Wilson, DJ of SLIPKNOT) performed with the SOUND PROOF COALITION. Jewelry by Crahan's wife Chantel, paintings by Frank Hansen and paintings and films by Scott Kaven were also on display.

Crahan said this about the event in a press release: "My first gallery showing is truly the realization of a lifelong dream. Polaroid photography has helped open the doors in my mind about layering, saturation and backgrounds. Then, of course, there's painting. I feel as though I've waited my whole life to be able to enjoy what I always imagined painting to be. This is now reality. Painting is one of the only artistic expressions that brings me ultimate happiness and freedom."
