About Me

Soul Circus Mission Statement…… (Rock n Roll revivalists)The Circus do not (and will never) change with the times…. we are here to change the times. ……..We are the voice for the un-silent majority of people disillusioned by the Ryvita biscuit (good for your health but tasteless and boring), diluted, soul-less nonsense that passes for today’s music scene. We are revivalists of the great art of rock n rrrrrrollll baby…………. We pine for the good old days when rock n roll was rock n roll…. and wasn’t divided …..into sub categories…. then sub-sub categories (and so on) ….“oh it’s a old skool, new wave, mish mash of grunge/indie power pop with just a smithering of nu rustic metal, melancholy super trance …..with a cherry on top…(!?????FUCK OFF) .Lets knock the pretence out the window…. music is not unlike the philosophy of a famous Scottish sketch show. We don’t need 65 million categories. We only need 2. Good Guy!!! And Wank !!The Circus proudly flies the flag for planet good guy.We play for the real people. We want the real people to come and see us feeling like they rule the world for a little while. …. We have no interest in pleasing the sad little scenester who turns up to see bands for “street points.” We have no interest in the opinion of the music rags…lets face it, if they knew that much they’d be doing it…not fucking writing about it. ...MON THE CIRCUS
