3 Ring Circus

3 RING CIRCUS
The Circus Act is:

Russell Meek: vocals, guitar
Simon Clements: guitars, vocals
Dave Fullwood : bass
Dave Tizard: drums

Born out of a devotion to music, friendship and a chance bus stop meeting, 3 Ring Circus formed in Autumn 2002. Initial steps were tentative as three friends reacquainted themselves and the new boy tried to fit in, and then???? it clicked!

Music, lyrics, swear words flowed and the four individuals became a band.. and great friends.

Take equal parts Pearl Jam,Incubus and R.E.M. and some bloody mindedness to do exactly what they want and you get the 3 Ring Circus sound. Modern but not too nu, classic but not retro.

Come and see the show, and let 3 Ring Circus blow your top.

What the press is saying about the At Arms Length EP

" Tightly played and sensitively performed, the band leave plenty of room for the songs to breathe"

"Hints of incubus drift through....the most obvious comparison is Peter Bucks jangly guitar on the breezy summer pop of paper aeroplane and Monster era REM effects on Live Without"

" The beautiful intro to last goodbye meanwhile conjures up Jeff Buckley and Pearl Jam at their most elegiac"

Phil Bramley, Derbyshire Times

"Its really easy to think that 3 Ring Circus could go very far....I think the standout track is Last Goodbye which is slow and moody but (Russell) Meek belts out the vocals like nobody's business and does it well"

" A good EP from a band you can see has everything a band needs to succeed"

Emma Nixon Gigs Unlimited

"If you consider yourself to be any kind of Indie/Rock fan at all, and you dont find yourself listenting to these guys over and over again, dare I say it, there must be something wrong with you!"

"..there are only four tracks but each one is incredible in its own right...these guys are a top act and I cant wait to see them live"

Ben Wager Solve Records

The CD is available by sending a cheque for £3.00 including p&p made payable to Simon Clements to 94 Derby Road, Stapleford, Nottingham NG9 7AD
