A Powerclown Halloween: on singing the Village People in Japanese, Scum Element, and Shakes the Clown

A Powerclown Halloween

Powerclown's Daniel Whitmore, also known as Dicksee Di'anno and Dan Scum, reflects on his experiences, stating:

Sometimes we’d be bloody babies, or sometimes we’d be beaten-up schoolgirls.

For those unfamiliar with Whitmore's story, he spent time in prison in Japan before returning to Canada. Additionally, the band's guitarist, Sketchy Clown (Matt Fiorito), recently had a stint in an American jail.

Despite the challenges, Powerclown is back and headlining a Halloween night gig and a November 1 gig at Vancouver's Waldorf. This interview features outtakes from a prior conversation with Whitmore.
