Yhdysvaltojen arvostetuimpiin vaihtoehtorockbändeihin lukeutuva The Afghan Whigs on kasannut rivinsä uudelleen reilun kymmenen vuoden hiljaiselon jälkeen ja lähtee soittamisen ilon löydyttyä myös kiertueelle. Bändin suomalaisfanit voivat huokaista nyt helpotuksesta, sillä kiertue saapuu myös Suomeen elokuussa. Konsertti toteutuu The Circuksessa, Helsingissä, tiistaina 7. elokuuta. Viime vuoden joulukuussa yhteenpaluustaan ilmoittanut The Afghan Whigs on saanut nauttia ilmoituksen nostattamasta huumasta. Vuonna 2001 hajonneen rockyhtyeen edellisestä esiintymisestä on kulunut kolmetoista vuotta. Cincinattilaisyhtye on ajoittanut tulevan kiertueensa nostalgisesti ensimmäisen, vuonna 1987 soitetun keikkansa paikkeille, josta tulee kuluneeksi 25 vuotta. Puhdasta voimaa hehkuva The Afghan Whigs päätti kasata rivinsä uudelleen [...]

We've been banging our drum about Mighty Mouse so much over the last 2 years we've had to go to our local drum dispensary and buy a new one. Their most recent output has been their infamous Disco Circus Compilation - 2 CDs worth of psychedelic disco for less than a packet of haribo. Check out a full stream of the whole affair, read why each track was chosen - then go buy it. CD1 1. Kamp! – Cairo This is on the fantastic Discotexas label, [...]

One of the toughest tricks in being a pop musician is creating music that feels current, and yet sets itself apart from it's peers. In the midst of Vancouver's indie scene, Synthcake rears it's mast. The band makes a unique blend of electronic pop music that leaves many other local acts feeling just a tad generic. Believe it or not, Lana Pitre, frontlady and songstress of Synthcake, gets away with making indie-electro-circus pop, this is honestly the best way to describe what you hear. Molding Through the Seasons is their freshly released EP. The five tracks offer [...]

Rockin arvostetuimpiin suunnannäyttäjiin lukeutuva John Cale saapuu keikalle Helsinkiin toukokuussa. The Velvet Undergroundissa mittavan uransa aloittanut muusikko ja tuottaja esiintyy The Circuksessa perjantaina 11. toukokuuta. Walesilaissyntyinen muusikko, säveltäjä, laulaja-lauluntekijä ja tuottaja John Cale muutti 1960-luvulla New Yorkiin, missä hän perusti rock-historian merkittävimpiin ja vaikutusvaltaisimpiin yhtyeisiin kuuluvan The Velvet Undergroundin yhdessä Lou Reedin kanssa. Yhtyeen jätettyään lahjakas multi-instrumentalisti on julkaissut arviolta 30 sooloalbumia, joista tunnetuimpia ovat Paris 1919 sekä 1970-luvun puolivälissä julkaistu Island Records -trilogia Fear , Slow Dazzle ja Helen Of Troy . Vaikkakin John Cale on parhaiten tunnettu rockin [...]

Harley Rock Riders wrapped up season two of the nationwide tour in October 2011, as New Delhi grunge band Half Step Down (pictured) played alongside Parikrama , The Circus and Split at the Hamsadhwani Theatre in New Delhi ( pictures from the gig here ).

Yhdysvaltalaismuusikko Chan Marshall eli Cat Power saapuu lähes 20 vuoden odotuksen päätteeksi viimeinkin Suomeen. Nykypäivän arvostetuimpiin vaihtoehtoartisteihin lukeutuva Marshall esiintyy yhtyeensä kanssa Helsingin The Circuksessa sunnuntaina 5. helmikuuta. Uransa alkuvuosina Cat Power tuli tunnetuksi kokeellisista folkia ja alternative-musiikkia yhdistelleistä lo-fi-albumeista, joita artisti äänitti yhteistyössä esimerkiksi Sonic Youthista tuttujen muusikoiden kanssa. Marshall saavutti laajempaa huomiota hieman helpommin lähestyttävän You Are Free -pitkäsoiton (2003) myötä. Cat Powerin suuri läpimurto tapahtui vuoden 2006 The Greatest -albumilla, jolla Marshallin kanssa musisoivat pitkän linjan memphisläiset blues- ja R&B-muusikot. Chan Marshallin kahdeksas pitkäsoitto, pääosin lainamateriaalia sisältänyt Jukebox ilmestyi neljä vuotta [...]

This past Friday, Tin Armor wrapped up their tour and had a music video premiere show at Circus for their song Strange and Estranging. Tin Armor @ Circus December 9, 2011

Dubstep fans, rejoice! A new Flux Pavilion song has been released on Circus Records this week. The British dubstep producer has teamed up with Skism and Foreign Beggars to deliver a dark, hard-hitting track that is somewhat reminiscent of Skrillex's "Still Gettin' It." The grimy vocals from Foreign Beggars, paired with some of Flux's signature sounds, come together to form four and a half minutes of pure sonic mayhem. All we can say is, you may want to brace yourself before pressing the play button. Buy it on iTunes here . Via: Facebook ( [...]

The recently concluded Bacardi NH7 Weekender saw much happiness during, and a plethora of photo albums flooding everybody's Faceboo k feeds after. In fact, the festival saw such a great response that someone claimed it even "rocked Mumbai" . Amidst all of that, local graphic designer Sukrit Nagaraj, also an aspiring photographer, clicked some photos at the festival. However, whilst editing his photos he realized he wanted to do something different, considering everyone was uploading photos anyway. The idea, in its core, was to bring together "graphic designing with photography to create some posters to grab the attention of [...]

Screaming Treesista ja Queens Of The Stone Agesta tuttu rock-ikoni ja lauluntekijä Mark Lanegan julkaisee helmikuussa uuden albumin ja saapuu sen tiimoilta myös Suomeen. Lanegan esiintyy yhtyeineen Helsingin The Circuksessa sunnuntaina 26. helmikuuta 2012. Mark Laneganin soolouran tunnusmerkkejä ovat riipaisevan kauniit melodiat ja koskettavat elämäntäyteiset sanoitukset, joiden bluesia miehen tumma ja käheä ääni upeasti täydentää. Laneganin laulujen henkilökohtaiset teemat ja huikeat tunnelmat koskettavat paatuneimmankin kuulijan tuntoja. Miehen ääni on saavuttanut uniikin aseman, jota ei verrata muihin artisteihin, vaan toisin päin. Helmikuun 4. päivä Mark Lanegan julkaisee uuden albuminsa Blues Funeral , joka on [...]

The Bacardi Black Rock Arena kicked off on Saturday, November 19 at the Bacardi NH7 Weekender with a classic scene lineup of rock acts from around the country.

Blackstratblues One track in and Warren Mendonsa announces this set's going to be completely different from the others. Though [...]

Tomorrow night sees Italian duo Lula Circus play the UK for the first time in Room 3 of London super-club Fabric, with Dyed Soundorom heading up Room 1 and dOP playing live, brightening up what would otherwise be a pretty dreary late November night. You probably think you don't know who Lula Circus is but if you've been downloading any house mixtapes this Summer/Autumn or being going out clubbing.... at all, then chances are you've heard them. More likely than not you've danced your disco socks off to Pezzner's remix of Pumpin' Groovin' Movin' (it's alllllllll about that beautiful [...]

Wisdom Tooth - Quitting the Circus I have mentioned this many times before. But I love simple, lazy garage tunez. Like that music those close weirdo buddies who only plays random house parties, and happen to be really good. John & Friends would be those friends, well when he isn't making film shorts , music videos , drumming for the great psych rock band Quilt or playing in various bands or tumblrin' . Right now you can buy a CD-R of his latest record [...]
