"BROODING INTENSE SOUND" ," EVOCATIVE MOOD LADEN MUSIC."
THE ABOVE STATEMENTS ARE JUST TWO OF MANY DESCRIPTIONS GIVEN TO MEXICAN DOG CIRCUS MUSIC.
THE BAND WAS FORMED IN 2002 BY DARREN REILLY A SONGWRITER FROM DUBLIN IRELAND AS A WAY OF UNLEASHING THE SOUNDS HE HAD ENVISIONED TO THE MASSES. AFTER A YEAR OF WRITING AND PERFORMING SOLO DARREN DECIDED TO HIT THE STUDIO TO RECORD SOME OF HIS MANY IDEAS.THE USUAL IDEA OF FORMING A BAND,REHEARSING THE MATERIAL,THEN RECORD WAS ABANDONED.INSTEAD DARREN CONTACTED TWO OLD FREINDS FROM PREVIOUS BANDS.TURN UP ,PLUG IN AND LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS.IT WORKED!
THE RESULTING 3 TRACK CD WAS HANDED TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN.IT WAS ALSO POSTED ON THE NET
AND GAINED INTEREST FROM THE UNITED STATES,EUROPE AND AUSTRAILIA.THE DECISION WAS MADE TO FORM A LIVE BAND.
ON THE 3RD OF JUNE 2002 MEXICAN DOG CIRCUS PLAYED ITS FIRST GIG IN A WELL KNOWN DUBLIN VENUE.OVER THE NEXT YEAR THE BAND BUILT A SOLID FOLLOWING AND WERE APPROACHED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE LOOKING TO MANAGE THEM.HOWEVER DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES DARREN AND THE BAND WERE FORCED TO TAKE A HIATUS AFTER WHAT WAS THEIR FINEST PERFORMANCE IN JULY 2003. ON JULY 4TH 2004 DARREN PLAYED A SHOW IN EAMONN DORANS WITH TWO MEMBERS OF UP AND COMING DUBLIN BAND "NOAH TAKES THE JUNGLE" ON BASS AND DRUMMING DUTIES.IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A ONCE OFF BUT CONFIDENCE AND INSPIRATION WERE HIGH AFTER KIND WORDS FROM SUPPORT BAND "ANGELS OF MONS" AND MANY OF THE CROWD.
AFTER A SHORT TIME OF CONSIDERATION DARREN DECIDED TO BEGIN WRITING SOME NEW MUSIC.IT HAS TAKEN A WHILE BUT MEXICAN DOG CIRCUS IS BACK!
HERE’S SOME PHOTOS FROM A RECENT GIG.
