” presenting eclectic excellence”
ALL CAST SHOW
Cirque Du Singe Brisé (Circus of the Shattered Monkey) is now entering its 11th exécution (performance), throughout our past shows we have showcased numerous great performers that deserve a better stage than what we have to offer. Certain individuals, though, have shown something more to the show itself. There’s a strong commitment and bona fide enthusiasm being felt amongst certain people who have contributed considerably toward the show’s success. On Saturday April 23rd @ our home base, The Zeitgeist Gallery 8:00pm, all of these people are coming together for one amazing, killer show and being presented as the faces that will be the representatives of the Circus as we continue onward in our journeys. These people are, Ari, J J Baron, Joseph Bellamy, Ben Blanchard, Ryan Fitzsimmons, Kids Against Combs, The Kieran Ridge Band, Rev Bob & The Darkness & Rod Webber. Also joining us from Baltimore will be a very interesting act called ilyAIMY.
As the show is progressing, the realization that constant familiar faces are needed is becoming more apparent. From this point on some of these listed performers will be on every bill, no matter where we are, and the bulk of them are Boston’s own. Most of these people have already been mentioned time and time again In past press releases and they will be bringing their usual excellence, which when mixed together is most definitely eclectic.
Ari (www.acoustichic.com), the “queen” of the Circus will be headlining this evening and bringing with her the usual ambience and majestic grace that has made her such a talked about and adored performer.
NYC’s, Kids Against Combs (www.kidsagainstcombs.com) will be joining us for the first time with their full lineup. Finally everyone will be hearing why they’re listed as an abstract sociopolitical indie rock band. They possess lyrics that would make Johnny Rotten damn proud and back them with a cello and flute along with a power and angst fitting to open for Bright Eyes. The ingenuity and modern rock edge of The Kids has earned them their first record deal with 10-34 Records.
J J Baron (www.jjbaron.com ) and Ryan Fitzsimmons (www.ryanfitzsimmons.com) are recent pickups from our Providence swing. It was uncanny how they immediately displayed the interest and commitment to the show that other past performers have. J J , who is signed to Rhodey Records, joined us just recently on our 3/18 Zeitgeist bill, the next day he was openeing for Dar Williams @ Club Helsinki. It was spooky seeing J J perform for the first time. From his performance approach, to the way he holds his guitar and even his hairstyle, J J Baron is the closest thing to feeling like being @ The Gaslight in 1961. Ryan Fitzsimmons will be joining us for the third time already. His acoustic guitar playing is intricate, his voice powerful, his songs touching. Checkout his self-released CD Open All Night.
Ben Blanchard (www.benblanchardmusic.com) will have his songs of emotion and mystery . Rev Bob & The Darkness (www.gosaveyourself.com), who have just been ordained the house band of the Circus will have their distinct sound of goth blues ready to go. The Kieran Ridge Band (www.kridge.com) will have some awesome songs that will get the people dancing for sure. Rod Webber (www.rodwebber.com ) will be his usual unpredictable self, and illyAIMY (www.illyaimey.com) will add a whole new thing to our show. Joseph Bellamy, as always, will be the man in charge of holding the whole night together and will be bringing “Big Ass Woman” and other great spoken word pieces that are becoming more of an attraction every time. THIS SHOW IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE!
