Biography
Dead Letter Circus are unlike any rock band to emerge from Australia.
Watching someone on their first listen to Brisbane alternative breakthroughs
Dead Letter Circus searching to come up with a neat description is fascinating viewing… “It’s kind of like… no wait, it’s more of a… Wow, I have no idea what it is, but it’s different…” Part of the beauty of the soaring, sing-a-long choruses, chiming atmospherics and delay soaked tones of Dead Letter Circus is their escape from easy classification via labels or scenes.
What’s that, you want the recipe though? Well, take quality musicianship, melt melodies that soar over modern rock tones, then whip audiences across the land into a frenzy with an unrelenting touring schedule. Marinate in very strong independent EP & single sales, a heaving army of passionate supporters won from festival battles and airwave solicitation, and bring to the boil with incendiary Big Day Out & Come Together performances on full heat. Serve hot and compare result to Muse, U2 and Mars Volta, but be aware that Dead Letter Circus is the rarest of flavours, brilliant but ultimately indescribable, best tasted for yourself.
In a whirlwind 2 years, Dead Letter Circus have ascended to the forefront of
alternative rock, their fresh take on good rock songs landing powerhouse
Australian booking agent New World Artists. Dead Letter Circus have struck
a chord locally and abroad with their self-titled EP and Next in Line/Reaction double A side single, signed a worldwide publishing deal with Universal, signed with monster agency CAA for North America, showcased for several US major labels, and continued to peddle their wares to all parts of the country.
And while they may not fit into the constraints of a tidy town genre, there is a certainty amongst the creative confusion… just one spoonful of Dead Letter Circus will leave you hungry for more…
Working towards their debut album for release in early 2010 through Warner
Music, Dead Letter Circus tour nationally throughout September 2009 armed
with a fresh single called ‘The Space on the Wall’. Teaming up once again with producer Forrester Savell, this latest offering from Dead Letter Circus has been added to Triple J, and will be a festival sing-a-long favourite this summer.
