// 06 AUGUST '06 // After completing their mini summer tour (but for the Berlin show on September 22nd - see NEWS >TOUR AGENDA) CirKus have gone straight back into the makeshift studio in the countryside and have just finished their next release - the "Is What It Is What It Is" single. There's also a new video on the marks looking amazing. There are 10 tracks that will be released over various formats, 3 brand new tracks, and various remixes etc. CirKus are all very proud and should have it on the net within the next week, the physical release following shortly afterwards. And keep your eyes open for the autumn tour dates with the new show starting off in France once again...

// 28 MARCH '06 // cirKus kick off their European tour in Paris at the Canal Opus with 3 exceptional concerts. On the occasion of the release of their single 'Starved', the group around Burt Ford, Karmil, Neneh Cherry and Lolita Moon will take their debut 'Laylow' on stage for the first time. Tickets for the shows on May 9th, 10th and 11th, 2006 are selling at 22 Euros now. 

You can check out the video for 'Starved' here. The 'Starved' EP will be released on May 9th in France and very soon after all over Europe. Please visit the cirKus page on MySpace for further info. 

// 10 JANUARY '06 // Read the first ever interview with all the cirKus members -  brought to you by Steven G. Fullwood who caught up with the band about a month ago letting the foursome speak for themselves, mainly about making memorable music that makes people cry. 

cirKus have completed the sound production process of 'LayLow' last week and are now designing the artwork/album booklet. Currently the group is aiming for an April 2006 release in France with the rest of Europe starting with Scandinavia, Germany, Austria and Switwerland to follow after that.

// 01 DECEMBER '05 // cirKus has joined personalized online radio Last FM which streams the listeners favourite music. Join Last FM now and discover the tracks of the upcoming album 'Laylow' - it's fun, it's free, it's all about the music. Last FM is not biased towards the big artists in the business but is a platform helping newcomers to establish themselves on the market and to promote their records. As more people tune in cirKus will get more plays.

// 28 OCTOBER '05 //  "Ambition gets power & power makes fools, fools bring the madness & madness brings rules"... If you check the cirKus page on MySpace, you can hear a brand new song called 'Fools'. cirKus are thinking of including it on the upcoming album so have a listen and tell them what you think. Our opinion: 'Fools' stands out melodically, lyrically and vocally. The versatility of Burt Ford's voice enables him to provide yet a different sound. His dreamy voice weaves like a cool breeze through a net of strings, beats and rich background choir. Refreshingly beautiful! We only regret that Neneh is not singing on this one.

// 14 SEPTEMBER '05 // The cirKus promo team has opened an account on myspace.com. The page contains 4 streaming audio tracks, lyrics, band info, finished album cover artwork and other news. The audio tracks will rotate giving you the chance to listen to the complete album. cirKus will be putting some exclusive tracks on there to download FREE soon. So keep checking back, bookmark and help us spread the word... or add the link to your email signature. Go here for the cirKus page.

The cirKus album 'LayLow' will be up on iTunes very soon in Europe, the USA and Canada. Live tour dates will be confirmed in France and Spain soon, with the first of these happening before the end of 2005.

// 18 AUGUST '05 // A very limited number of pre-release copies of 'LayLow' is now available in the UK through CD16 and Smallfish. The artwork is promo-only and the CDs are single cardboard sleeve with the pattern and tracklist on back. Check the cirKus discography for further info on the album. 

// 10 JULY '05 // Most of you will have heard through the grapevine that Neneh joined a formation called cirKus. Only few of you know what cirKus is all about. The team on NCO has therefore put together a brand new cirKus section that will inform you about everything you need to know. We are still working on the content but we don't want to keep you waiting anylonger and reveal to you what the cirKus people have been cooking.

// 05 JULY '05 // In Paris thousands of people gathered around the Town Hall to see the music concert with rap singers MC Solaar, Cirkus and Neneh Cherry that was being organised in support of Paris' candidacy for the 2012 Olympic Games. The show was accompanied by a film showing archive pictures of the 1920 and 1924 Paris Olympic Games.
