About this concert
Roll Up for the Greatest Rock Show in Town!
CIRCU5 at LEVEL 3, Swindon, on SATURDAY 21 SEPTEMBER – with the magnificent I Am The Manic Whale and Let's Swim, Get Swimming!
Check out the acts...
CIRCU5 (10.30 to 11.30pm)… imagine rock and prog poured into a blender, mixed with a dash of 60s vocal harmonies and a big helping of hard-driving rhythms. But while certain influences spring to mind, CIRCU5 exists in its own world of adrenalin-rush anthems, addictive choruses and goose-bump melodies. CIRCU5 is the project of Steve Tilling – multi-instrumentalist and guitarist/vocalist for TC&I (the band of Colin Moulding and Terry Chambers from XTC).

----------
I Am The Manic Whale (9.15 to 10.15pm) are unashamedly a progressive rock band. While evoking many of the great progressive artists like Genesis, Big Big Train, Spock’s Beard and Neal Morse, the band brings something new to the table. Their intelligent lyrics touch on unusual and interesting subjects – from science fiction to the history of printing, the decay of a derelict swimming pool, and the artistic creations of Dutch artist Theo Jansen (Strandbeests).

Let's Swim, Get Swimming (8.15 to 9.15pm) is a gnarly math rock band from the heart of Surrey. Check out the band at https://youtu.be/WsL_AFcCMf4

Circu5 Biography
Think CIRCU5… think rock and prog poured into a blender, mixed with a dash of 60s vocal harmonies and a big helping of hard-driving rhythms. But while certain influences spring to mind, CIRCU5 exists in its own world of adrenalin-rush anthems, addictive choruses and goose-bump melodies.
CIRCU5 is the project of Steve Tilling – multi-instrumentalist and guitarist/vocalist for TC&I (the band of Colin Moulding and Terry Chambers from XTC).
Steve performs almost all instrumental and vocal duties on the debut CIRCU5 album, which tells the story of a child raised as a psychopath in a secret government organisation. "The album took me five years to make, and mirrors the ups and downs in my life at that time," says Steve Tilling. "There were dark moments but everything ended positively. I think I've made an album that's fun to listen to – and has a good story for those who like digging deeper."
The album features guest performances from Dave Gregory (XTC, Big Big Train), Phil Spalding (Mike Oldfield), Matt Backer (ABC), Alan van Kleef (Rachel Stamp), Johnny Warman (Peter Gabriel) and Andy Neve (Steve Hackett).
“With top-quality production and superb musicianship, this album reeks of class and should be heard.” Rocktopia
“Steve Tilling has made a compelling debut. It’s a tight, dark intelligent album." PROG
“An intriguing, ambitious and intricate piece of musical craft that deserves dissection through its layers.” Louder Than War
