Circus Trees
When and Where: Saturday, July 30 at 7:15 p.m. at The Rockwell.
Band Bio: Circus Trees wield an anguish that beckons. Droning through a weighty sadness, their musical spell extends a hand, instead of turning in on itself, offering an open invitation to all misery-loving company. They make music that doesn’t fit with their age, their gender, their living conditions; they are young, they are sisters, they spend their lives in the wastelands of suburbia. They make this music for themselves, but revel in the joy of sharing this with others who get it, feel it, are touched by it.
Fun Fact: “The band has way more pets in their lives than there are members in the band, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.”
