Slipknot percussionist Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan is offering fans the chance to work with him on a “very creative project.”

Clown – who is preparing to hit the road on Slipknot’s delayed tour with Marilyn Manson – is looking for computer programmers who have a flair and love for art.

He says: “I’m personally looking for some programmers who use c#. I am in the Unity community and working on a very creative project.

“I only like working with like-minded people who dream like me. I’m not interested in people who do not understand art. If you dream and can program and want to be a part of something special that I’m creating, then hit me up at clown@theclown.com”

The early dates on Slipknot’s tour were postponed after frontman Corey Taylor had to undergo spinal surgery after breaking his neck.

Clown adds: “We can’t wait to get back out on the road later this month and have an incredible summer Slipknot style. It’s always nice to feel the energy before a tour from our fans.

“We have the best fans in the world, so I’d like to say thank you for always sticking with us. It means everything.”
