Sounds Like
Here’s a video of My Tiny Circus playing Sparkle Motion live



My Tiny Circus sounds like the bastard love child of Gilberto Gil and Insane Clown Posse mewling and puking into a strong headwind.

You, dear MySpace readers, have already proven yourselves smart and creative enough to ....

A) Operate a computer and navigate the web
B) Come up with an amusing MySpace account name e.g. "Dave" (Yes I mean you Dave Halabisky)
C) Leave amusing messages, e.g. "UR HOT !!!", "U SUK !!!", "U ROK !!!" "Your references to Proustian involuntary memory in Tom Perdu are poorly thought out and badly executed !!!" etc.

...and are surely imaginative enough to know what the outcome of that bizarre coupling would be and so for us to further explain would be pointless.

If you really want to know what we sound like then come and see us live IF YOU DARE !!! .....and if you happen to live conveniently close to Ottawa, have nothing better to do on a Saturday night and have five bucks burning a hole in your pocket. It’ll be the best evening of Anarcho-LoungeCore you’ll ever attend.

As the lovely Alan Neal said of us on the CBC Radio 1 program Bandwidth, "A band that can only be described as off the wall" and we don’t think he was referring to the Michael Jackson album....or was he ?

   About My Tiny Circus



We are My Tiny Circus, Ottawa's fluffiest Anarcho-LoungeCore Collective.

It's a very fine line between control and chaos and those who can consistently operate close to or on the line are considered geniuses whatever their discipline. Those who rush at the line or cross it are considered at best idiots and at worst, dangerous.

My Tiny Circus is no stranger to the line, we flirt with the line and then, when the line is suitably smitten, we slyly carress it. Sometimes the line responds and sometimes our affections are spurned. It is a fickle line and we are inexperienced lovers. If sometimes we cross the line, it's only because we want to see what it looks like from the other side and are prepared for the consequences of our curiosity. Are we idiots or geniuses ? Neither...or possibly both.

My Tiny Circus, The idiot savants of Ottawa's LoungeCore scene (Possibly we are Ottawa's LoungeCore scene...if you know different please tell us - Perhaps we can double date), sing songs about Satan, sin, sex, stalking and alliteration in a breezy lounge-pop style.

When you get bored with the songs on this site (I know it's unlikely but indulge me), please visit My Tidy Circus at www.myspace.com/mytidycircus for live tracks, radio interviews and other MTC related musical detritus considered of such low quality that we daren't post it here.

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

My Tiny Circus, Please note the new RecordScout.com website is live! We have so many new
features all aimed at unsigned, and signed bands looking for valuable exposure.
Previously it was just a directory for unsigned bands but our new launch
includes MP3 and Video exposure as well as photo galleries. Encourage your fans
to sign up and vote for you. When we go live with our national radio coverage
the charts will be announced weekly! Unfortunately previous bands and artists
will have to set up an new account from scratch but it is worth it!


Thanks for the support My Tiny Circus!

Best wishes with your music Steve :)
