Artist description
Biography___________________________________________________________________________
The Pipe Circus is a six-piece fusion funk band with rhythm indicative of the Red Hot Chili Peppers crossed with Sublime and Sly and the Family Stone. In other words, fans are treated to a high-energy show each and every time they attend a live performance. A unique sound, energetic stage presence and intense showmanship are just a few tools The Pipe Circus uses to create a truly memorable experience for their audience.______________________________________________________________
Together since 1997, the Whitewater-based band has independently released two CD’s, received airplay on several college and mainstream radio stations within their demographic, and performed at many of the best known festivals and venues throughout the Midwest.______________________________________________________________________
Despite their many individual influences, the group as a whole feels their sound is developed through their longstanding admiration of industry pioneers such as Santana, Bob Marley, The Doobie Brothers, Lenny Kravitz, and, of course, The Beatles. So it’s not unusual that their current release, “The Finer Things” blends elements of blues, reggae, and hip hop around a solid rock foundation._____________________________________________________
The Pipe Circus prides itself on continually experimenting with it’s music, especially during live performances. For them it is the joy of seeing their fans relating to their unabashed ability to have a good time that makes it all worthwhile. -
In early 2002, the band entered the studio to record their new CD. For their third release, they are excited to continue their relationship with the staff at Sleepless Nights Studios in Madison, Wisconsin. The Pipe Circus’ new CD, “Soul Graffiti,” will be released in July.________________________________________________________
