A Powerclown Halloween

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

With Powerclown back in action, they will headline a Halloween night gig and a November 1 gig at Vancouver's Waldorf. This seemed like an opportune time to share outtakes from a prior interview with Whitmore.
