“Good old fashioned rock ‘n roll with big guitars, energetic choruses, and melodic and smooth vocals…the energy and impact of the music is felt full force.” -Metal Reviews.com, U.S.A.
“Walkin’ on a Wire rocks like a raging storm…Solid vocal lines with an eye for detailed perfection…Turn on the goddamn volume and crank it up.” -Metal to Infinity, Belgium
"So damn catchy it sucked me in like a sponge to water. David has a really cool voice, it is clean, but with a touch of aggressive and really just fits in with what his band is doing. I bet they rock the house when they play live cause they sure rocked me." -BallBusterHardMusic.com
“An auditory delight…All of the songs are awesome.” -Ruby Twosday, Netrock 101
"The New Yorker has a knack for writing material that is memorable and something that you can play over and over. All of the cuts create a cohesive package yet they all stand out from each other." -AntiMusic.com
“An album with heart, backbone and spunk…Music that keeps you up, makes you feel enlivened and has an edge and essence of pure hard rock.” -The Current, U.S.A.
Rising from the ashes of a scene that was once pronounced dead, Streetlight Circus brings in-your-face hard rock back with a vengeance. Formed in the fall of 2006, the band has become one of New York’s top live music attractions.
David Shaw is a NYC rock veteran who made his mark with popular acts such as Shotgun Annie, Soul Crunch and Down with the Blonde. After several years of living in Los Angeles, Shaw recorded a solo CD, Walkin’ on a Wire, and returned to New York to assemble the band that would come to be known as The Round Trip. The name is apropos as Shaw’s travels and musical journey both brought him back to his hard rock roots. The band is no longer a solo project though and has changed its name to Streetlight Circus.
Shaw quickly recruited guitarists Rob Mayer, George Giannoulis and more recently, drummer Erik Fehrenbach, all friends and bandmates from NYC’s rock and roll heyday. Together, the band has enjoyed considerable success which is due in large part to the members’ talents, energy, experience and vast array of influences.
The band set out to tour in support of Shaw’s disc. Walkin’ on a Wire received nothing but great reviews worldwide and features the best of what hard rock is supposed to be about. Recorded at In My World Studios in Mesa, Arizona and featuring the guitar and production talents of Steve Cone, another ex-bandmate of Shaw’s, the collection rocks with reckless abandon. Crunchy guitar riffs, smooth-yet-aggressive vocals, memorable hooks, thundering rhythms and blazing solos combine to create a rock and roll experience like no other.
On stage, Streetlight Circus have become a virtual three-ring circus. The band’s boundless energy grabs hold of new fans with every show and the musicianship wins over even the most cynical onlookers.
Consider the band’s accomplishments to date:
**Invited to perform at the enormous first annual Rocklahoma Festival after finishing in the top three in national fan voting.
**Music featured on MTV original programming.
**Successfully toured the east coast as a headliner.
**Have completed two successful west coast tours including performing to packed houses at the famous Whisky A-GoGo in Hollywood.
**Shared bills with platinum-selling national hard rock bands such as Great White, White Lion, LA Guns, Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, Enuff Z’Nuff, Zodiac Mindwarp, Rhino Bucket, House of Lords and Britny Fox.
**Contributed tracks for Beautiful Escape, a tribute album to seminal power-pop band The Posies.
Streetlight Circus is currently working on a new CD. In the meantime, get your copy of Walkin’ on a Wire today and don’t miss your next opportunity to see the band rock a stage near you!
