Karnivool developed from a high school band formed in 1997 in Perth , Western Australia , which played parties using a set of cover versions of Nirvana and Carcass songs, with some original compositions also included. In 1998, lead singer Ian Kenny changed their set to entirely original songs, removed all of the early band members and officially named the band Karnivool, derived from a local anecdotal description that the original members were “a bunch of clowns”.
