Sounds Like: The band that the Ottawa Citizen called "The sound of sweet subversion" and of whom Upfront Ottawa magazine advised you to "Set your ass to sway" - My Tiny Circus sounds like the bastard love child of Gilberto Gil and Insane Clown Posse mewling and puking into a strong headwind.
You, dear MySpace readers, have already proven yourselves smart and creative enough to ....
A) Operate a computer and navigate the web
B) Come up with an amusing MySpace account name e.g. "Dave" (Yes I mean you Dave Halabisky)
C) Leave amusing messages, e.g. "UR HOT !!!", "U SUK !!!", "U ROK !!!" "Your references to Proustian involuntary memory in Tom Perdu are poorly thought out and badly executed !!!" etc.
...and are surely imaginative enough to know what the outcome of that bizarre coupling would be and so for us to further explain would be pointless.
If you really want to know what we sound like then come and see us live IF YOU DARE !!! .....and if you happen to live conveniently close to Ottawa, have nothing better to do on a Saturday night and have five bucks burning a hole in your pocket. It'll be the best evening of Anarcho-LoungeCore you'll ever attend.
As the lovely Alan Neal said of us on the CBC Radio 1 program Bandwidth, "A band that can only be described as off the wall" and we don't think he was referring to the Michael Jackson album....or was he ?
