Circus of Power

Circus Of Power is a hard/sleaze rock band from New York, New York, USA, that was formed in 1986.
Circus of Power was the personification of East Coast sleaze rock during the late 80s and early 90s. Formed in the mid 1980s, during the burgeoning New York City club scene, the classic line-up of (vocals), (drums), (guitars), and Gary Sunshine (bass), were signed to and promptly released their seminal, self-titled debut album (opens in a new tab). Their brand of bluesy, bad-ass biker rock set the perfect backdrop for their lyrical swagger and stories of debauchery and depravity. A live EP, (1989's 'Still Alive (opens in a new tab)'), and second full length, (1990's 'Vices (opens in a new tab)'), continued their musical tradition and thrust the band towards new heights, securing major tours and MTV airplay.
Line-up and label changes led to the third full length album, 1993's 'Magic and Madness (opens in a new tab)' Released on, the album ushered in a more melodic sound for the band, while losing none of the grit that fans had grown to expect. The group disbanded in 1995, and despite a few sporadic "reunion" gigs, Circus of Power has been largely inactive until 2014. With a fresh new line-up, including Stoner Rock legend, Brant Bjork, on the drumming duties, the band released their first album in a quarter of a century, 'Four (opens in a new tab)' in 2017.
