Caper Clowns

 

Caper Clowns, known from Danish and international radio with songs like Anywhere Is Home, Pockets and The Way I Dream.

​

Caper Clowns' music is best described as an updated version of 60's and 90's inspired pop-rock, with a twist of a million other little things.

​

Caper Clowns are fairly unpredictable, both musically and in their live performance.

​

Musically because they are five songwriters, who all contribute something different, that they still seem to somehow fit together, and live probably because they have played a lot of shows together by now, leading them to always try out new fun things to keep both the audience as well as themselves entertained.

​

Caper Clowns have played more than 400 gigs, both big and small.

​

They have played in Seattle, Vancouver, London, Liverpool, Whitchurch, Leeds, Manchester, Paris, as well as multiple places around Denmark. Additionally, they have previously played at Midtfyns Festival and opened for artists like Level 42 (UK), The Broken Beats (DK), and The Crookes (UK).

​

It is also worth mentioning that Caper Clowns have played at the IPO Festival in Liverpool every year since 2017. The festival takes place at The Cavern Club and features more than 100 bands from around the world.

"I've said it several times before, and I’ll say it again: Caper Clowns, from Odense, is one of the best bands Denmark has ever produced. Perfect, polished power pop with amazing lead vocals, tight harmonies, and hooks galore. Honestly, one can't ask for much more, and we're very grateful for the many years they've played IPO Liverpool.” (David Bash, founder of IPO-Festival).

​

Caper Clowns is somewhat of a family reunion – there is father and son, two brothers, and an adoptee. Rick is the son of Henrik, who has been the musical teacher at the school that Peter, Christian and Rick all attended. Henrik joined as a temporary replacement and was kept out of the formal spotlight as he, per own statement, was a tad old for such an endeavour. After a year or so, the entire band was convinced that it was impossible to replace the replacement, being an outstanding musician, who also owned a sound studio with a complementary car big enough to fit their 88 keys Roland stage piano! Rasmus, the adoptee, joined as the drummer of Caper Clowns in 2018, after spending several years at Nordfyns Percussion, with whom he toured in Japan, as well as playing a concert for The Royal House of Denmark – with high expectations from Caper Clowns to utilize Rasmus’ royal connections in the near future!

​

There are a lot of creative forces in Caper Clowns – despite only being a five-piece act, there are four lead singers, three guitarists, two drummers, a bass player, two keyboard players, five backing vocals, three percussion players, a banjo player, one on lap steel guitar and five songwriters, all on one stage! Not to mention the extended list when recording in the studio!
