Behold GOOFERMAN, an ever-morphing micro circus
of klown-fi and auxiliary circus performers built
on an entirely unique bedrock of breakbeat, funk,
drum & bass, raggaeton, rock, hip hop, and
whirled beat, all parlayed to the audiences of
the world by a new-fangled, super-styled breed of
klown. Pack DNA from Oingo Boingo, Fatboy Slim,
George Clinton, Soul Coughing, Basement Jaxx,
Prince, The Police, and Looney Tunes into an
Amsterdam cafè pipe, sneak it into a big top,
inhale, exhale, and you've pretty much got the
picture. Goferman's performed throughout the US
-- including festival appearances at Vegoose,
Bumbershoot, Download, New Orleans Jazz Festival,
Burning Man, Electric Daisy Carnival, and
Lightning in a Bottle -- while purveying their
signature klown-fi through endless local and
regional high-octane micro-circus spectacles both
above and underground (including SF's acclaimed
Bohemian Carnival, with co-host and frequent
collaborator, the Vau de Vire
Society) Sinisterly familiar, informally
peculiar...brought to you without commercial
interruption...Such bump! Such grind! A living,
breathing carnival of a cartoon! This, yes THIS, is GOOFERMAN
