    We have officially awarded the title of weirdest band at Coachella to Clown Core

    When festivalgoers packed into the Sonora tent Friday for the venue's last set of the day, avant-garde jazz and grindcore duo Clown Core, they had some idea of what they were getting, but it was even stranger than most could probably imagine.

    The weirdness started with a lengthy intro video warning the audience of flashing lights before switching to a new-age video showing Earth from outer space before quickly zooming into the location of the Empire Polo Club. A message flashed across the screen that said “The Earth is flat” as suspected members Louis Cole (drums) and Sam Gendel (saxophone) began playing an abstract jazz song.

    The audience was a mix of people who were interested in catching a glimpse and some who were turned off from the beginning and headed to the exit. The musicians switched between sample machines, keyboards and saxophone performing some cheesy '80s-sounding jazz to angry saxophone music and grindcore. The drummer played the sampler with one hand while pounding a snare drum with the other.

    Clown Core also played a video that showed what appeared to be their trip to the Coachella Valley waiting in line at a McDonald’s drive-thru, going through trash bins, using portable toilets, walking through neighborhoods and other bizarre scenes.

    Details aside, we've dubbed it the weirdest set we've seen this year at Coachella, but take a look at this snippet and decide for yourself:
