Battle circus.. Marcel is the recording guy at my school. Miss Wu (not too sure on her first name but she is the pianist) is a music teacher. They're both really cool.
Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but the Mars Volta aren't famous for their music videos. It has more to do with the whole 'being exceptional musicians' thing.
Don't be a scab, you like it then splash out for the EP, it's fucking WORTH it I promise. They have a link on their myspace that allows you to buy straight from them so that they, the unsigned, get all the money from the deal too.
XD i just recently moved to NZ and just more recently heard of these guys. Was very sad not to find them in the music store D: then again i didn't know the correct spelling of the band name XD
You guys are fantastic. I can't believe NZ is responsible for spitting this little gem out. Really really amazing. I couldn't make it to the gig of yours the other weekend - when are you playing again?? Just picked up the latest album the other weekend too - hasn't left the cd player yet!
Hey...A little bird tells me you might be back here in Australia next year...any details?/any ages shows?
Will you ever re-release send in the clones and/or utopium?...you should they are great songs.....at the moment you are forceing me to jump onto myspace or youtube to listen to them (which i do very frequently)....I also have a radio show and I obviously would love to play them but i can't..... very frustrating.
i must say, i just heard about you guys last night while watching blender and honestly...you guys.....are....the....COOLEST! and AWESOMEST! band ive seen in a long time! you need to come to christ church and hold a gig!!!!!
We're coming as far as Wellington next weekend. Actally... if we get the support slot for the Muse concert, we'll be in Chch on Sunday night - but we're not holding our breath. ;-)
i pretty much second what that last guy said-i saw it ages ago and thought it was fkin awesome but then i couldnt really find out much about the band but i just to look it up on youtube now-yr band kicks serious asshole
Wow, i think this song is amazing. My friend just recently told me about you. I can't wait to hear you EP it's a shame you've just left to Oz! :( I really would like to come see a gig of yours in Auckland.
I hope you guys get more publicity when you come back, n_n i'll be the first in line to buy tickets to anything you have going!
Thanks for the kind words. The band is back from Oz now, and we should be playing some gigs in the next month or so. If you want, sign up to our mailing list at battlecircus(dot)com
Thanks again for the props dude, if you make it along to a gig definately come up and say hi. I'm the one behind the drumkit ;-)
Stunning! Why arn't you playing stadiums?! Can really hear a Muse influence, which is no bad thing! Love the circus/cabaret vibe to the music too. Great stuff!
White Stripes? Really? =\ I was thinking more along the lines of a more Muse-like Placeboish sound...but kinda not. Hard to explain. But anyway I saw this video on Homegrown AGES ago and instantly wrote the name on my phone and its the first video I ever watched on YouTube =) ...I think. Long time ago. Great song though. And the videos brilliant.
Are these guys still around? loved their music

Is it still possible to buy copies of Utopium and Send in the Clones? I noticed you had the Utopium single for a while but it kind of...disappeared.
Hecasteia 4 years ago
Hey,
As far as I know there aren't any copies of either singles left I'm afraid - they were very limited edition.
I saw a Utopium single for sale on TradeMe a while back though, so you might be lucky there.

The CD's called The Halflight Symphony... you can purchase it from our MySpace page. It should also be on iTunes pretty soon.
I dunno if we'll make it to California anytime soon - spread the word, and labels might take an interest ;-)
Take it easy.
