PERTHTHE 'WINTER' TOUR - AUSTRALIA 2019
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS: ILLYRIA,
Vespertine Vescada & Breed
-------------------------
To borrow a saying from a very popular TV show, "WINTER IS COMING!",
Melbourne bred progressive alternative rock juggernaut CIRCLES will
take their ‘Winter’ Tour across Australian landscapes throughout
July & August 2019. In addition, they are taking fellow Wild Thing
trailblazers Ebonivory along for the ride (not appearing in Perth).
With each band’s recent performances at PROGFEST 2019 completely
breathtaking, and with Circles' live show one of the most powerful
and mind blowing going around, this is a tour you definitely do not
want to miss!
2018 was a watershed year for CIRCLES, releasing their masterpiece
album _The Last One_ through Wild Thing Records in AUSTRALIA/New
Zealand and Season Of Mist internationally. Louder

that The Last One was "_...very much in a similar fashion to
countrymen Karnivool, Circles have crafted a modern progressive
tapestry with plenty of wider appeal thanks to songwriting nous
coupled with their apparent technicality._" They then
joined TesseracT on their Australian Tour in September as special
guests. Soon after, Circles jetted off on their momentous return to
Europe, touring across the continent with fellow Australian
progressive rock trailblazers Caligula’s Horse between
October-November, while also appearing at prominent
festivals ProgPower Europe and Euroblast. Upon their return to
Australia, they dazzled audiences on tour with Dead Letter Circus in
December, before mesmerising PROGFEST in January 2019, with
memorable performances as the festival’s Australian headliner
playing to full houses every night.
ABOUT CIRCLES
_The Last One, _an album of tremendous power and lyrical
inventiveness, delivers on the promise made on their Basick
Records debut album _Infinitas _(2013). With guitarist Ben Rechter
assuming the role of lead vocalist and fellow band members Ted
Furuhashi (guitar/backing vocals), David Hunter (drums), and Drew
Patton (bass guitar/screamed vocals) providing a maelstrom of musical
brutality, CIRCLES HAVE WRITTEN AND RECORDED A SIMPLY PHENOMENAL
ALBUM. The band’s uniquely designed off-kilter stadium-like riffs
and dynamic grooves, exemplified in the track _Dream Sequence_,
beautifully contrast with breathtaking soaring vocals and catchy hooks
apparent in highlight song _Tether, _with new front-man Ben
Rechter’s lush melodic singing styling instantly becoming a
signature of Circles’ ever expanding sound.
Formed in 2010 by Ted Furuhashi, David Hunter and Drew Patton, CIRCLES
HAVE CONSTANTLY BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF PROGRESSIVE HEAVY MUSIC, with
their musical foundations becoming a strong component of the worldwide
djent movement. Their previous releases, 2011’s EP _The
Compass _(Basick Records) and 2013’s _Infinitas, _garnered
unanimously positive reaction from fans and critics across the globe.
Circles' past European jaunts have included supporting heavy music
luminaries such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Monuments, and After
The Burial. In Australia, they’ve toured nationally as direct
support to eminent rock and metal acts such as Periphery, Fear
Factory, Twelve Foot Ninja, and Ne Obliviscaris, while also
performing at the nation’s premier progressive music
festival PROGFEST on three occasions.
