 Before Korn developed a name , they had moved into a small house together in Huntington Beach , California , south of Los Angeles , where they began working on songs . Soon after moving , they rented Underground Chicken Sounds , a recording studio , from Jeff <unk> , who had previously allowed lead singer Jonathan Davis to live in his garage . While they were recording at the studio , they attracted a crowd of people when performing the prelude to " Clown " . The band 's bass guitarist , Reginald " Fieldy " Arvizu , said that the crowd gathered because the band 's style sounded so " different " .
