THE SLAMBOVIAN CIRCUS OF DREAMS - A VERY UNUSUAL HEAD

  • the slambovian circus of dreams: a very unusual head
        (2022, cd, usa, storm king records)
Americana / folk / rock band The Slambovian Circus Of Dreams has been recording and touring since 2000. The band released "A Very Unusual Head" earlier this year.

their newsletter adds:

The Slambovian Circus of Dreams will be touring the UK from Sunday, August 7 through August 21.

In addition to performing at both the Wickham Festival and Cropredy, the Slambovian’s tour takes them through London, East Sussex, Birmingham, Penistone, York, Queensbury, Cheadle Hulme, Milton Keynes, and Colchester.

The band's concerts include a mix of Slambovian classics and tunes from their newly released album, “A Very Unusual Head". Says lead singer/songwriter Joziah Longo, “’A Very Unusual Head’ is dedicated to all the people who find themselves having to function in spectrums outside the accepted norms. Here’s to you... Good luck everybody!"

A rootsy rockin' psychedelica, their connection with audiences taps into a greater human-ness with charismatic band leader Joziah Longo center ring presiding... Joined onstage by bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the guitar-slinging skills of Sharkey McEwen, the Slambovians create a show that is constantly evolving "with a little help from their friends.” 2022’s line-up includes RJ McCarty (bass, keys), and Matthew Abourezk (drums). Elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix (Waterboys co-founder Anthony Thistlethwaite is on the band’s new album).

Add a good dose of Woodstock-era psychedelia framed in solid songwriting, and you have it.
