EMPIRE CIRCUS:
EMPIRE CIRCUS ARE A FOUR PIECE ALT POP OUTFIT WHO HAVE TAPPED INTO THE PANACHE OF TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB, THE DEMEANOR OF ARCADE FIRE AND THE GENERAL COOL SUAVE OF GORILLAZ… THEN MORPHED OUT AT THE OTHER SIDE WITH A RESONANT SOUND UNDER THE GUISE OF EMPIRE CIRCUS.
HAVING LIVED AND PLAYED MUSIC FULL TIME IN THE USA TOGETHER FOR 7 YEARS, THEY RETURNED TO IRELAND IN 2008 OPENED A MUSIC SCHOOL IN SOUTH COUNTY DUBLIN - WWW.PUREMUSIC.IE. THEN IN THE SPRING & SUMMER OF 2012 THE BAND SPENT TIME WRITING, DEMOING AND WORKING FEVERISHLY ON CREATING MUSIC. THEY WROTE SOME SONGS. ACTUALLY THEY WROTE LOTS OF SONGS. SOME THEY REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING, OTHERS... NOT SO MUCH. SO THEY TOOK THE FUN ONES AND WENT TO A STUDIO IN BROOKLYN AND CRAFTED AN ALBUM OF 12 TUNES THAT MADE THEM WANT TO PULL SOME PRETTY RIDICULOUS DANCE MOVES. THIS WAS ALL DONE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF PRODUCER/ENGINEER/MIXER; BRYCE GOGGIN (RAMONES, THE MORNING GLORIES, ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS).
EMPIRE CIRCUS’ SOUND IS ALL ABOUT THE THRILL IN RHYTHM AND MELODY. THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, INCLUDING SONGS SUCH AS “A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SUPERHERO”, “I KNOW BETTER” AND “ALL I NEED” WILL ASSUREDLY LEAVE YOU POWERLESS AGAINST THE URGE TO GET UP, GET CRAZY, DANCE AND SING LIKE YOU NEVER HAVE BEFORE.
BAND STATEMENT: THE FUTURE (THE END IS NOWHERE IN SIGHT): WE STILL HAVE DREAMS OF CONQUERING THE WORLD AND SELLING THE T-SHIRT, BUT FOR NOW WE WILL BE BRINGING DODGY DANCE MOVES AND ABOVE ALL, MUSIC THAT ELECTRIFIES THE SOUL.
EMPIRE CIRCUS’ SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM IS OUT NOW.
Eamonn Campbell :
Born in Drogheda, Co Louth, Eamonn began playing professionally in 1965 with Dermot O'Brien and The Clubmen. During a U.K. tour in 1967, The Clubmen shared the bill with the Dubliners and, during the nightly sessions that followed each concert, a relationship developed between Eamonn and The Dubliners which led to a lasting friendship. Over the years, he has made numerous guest appearances with the group. In 1972, he moved into the world of studio musician and also played with pit orchestras in, "Jesus Christ Superstar," "West Side Story" and "Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat." He has performed on numerous occasions with the R.T.E. concert orchestra, playing guitar, mandolin and banjo. Eamonn is regarded as Ireland's most successful record producer, having produced hits for Paddy Reilly, Foster and Allen, Brendan Grace, Philomena Begley and , in recent years, he has produced records for American country singer Billy Jo Spears. In 1987 he produced The Dubliners' 25th Year Celebration album and it was Eamonn's suggestion that The Dubliners and The Pogues got together to record a few tracks for the album. This resulted in their hit single, "The Irish Rover." Shortly afterwards, with the opportunity to take part in live concerts, Eamonn cut down on his studio work and joined the group on a full time basis. In between tours he still manages to produce records for special clients, the latest being for The Fureys
