Why are the kids faces painted with black and white clown masks? :o

Mmm... well it does look good.

Hope no-one thinks it's pants!

It's taken from an old group of street break dancers back in tha day, who used to apply clown make up and have battles.

yer his serious. there was a program on it on channel four a while back. the group still exists. the clown make up is to represnt the clowning about, the style in which they dance like. the pioneer of this form was actually a black clown who did shows for kids in the suburbs.

the clown dancing was a way to release tension through dancing, that is why they tug at each others t-shirts, minimal contact, subsequently that is why they wear gig t-shirts

Than you both for the info. ;)



It's really strange, but that was how I danced and some people stared at me like "is he mad?", and I never saw how it was "supposed to be danced", but that was what the music made me feel, and so I danced.

yeah, but I don't want simple, I want 'Dom & Nic knew this girl who went to a chemical brothers show and the video tells the story about how the pits of hell opened up and angels flew down to wage eternal war on satan but all the angels had Tom & Ed's faces. It really happened to her'

It's good to share a brain, because I totally know what you mean. I can even picture it so clearly in my mind's eye...

I just don't know about a breakdancing video... it's sooo 1986... don't want people to think they're a nostalgia act.
