good call!


easyrider  said about 1 year ago:

ok, well there were certain things i liked about them (their slower shoegaze kinda songs), and certain things i couldn't stand (image + weird metal stuff).

the song up on their myspace is alright, heard em on JJJ but didn't realise it was the same band..

are they on drugs? they looked pretty out of it both times.

One of the most appalling bands I have ever had the displeasure of being subjected to. No exaggeration.


TransientRandom  said about 1 year ago:

Recent facebook incidents indicate it is NOT ok to dislike this band.

I reckon they're orright.

Care to elaborate, TransRan?

people who like stuff i like like Circle Pit, and people who do not do not. This is good. I like Circle Pit, very much.


TransientRandom  said about 1 year ago:

Someone got told off for expressing a negative opinion is what I heard. Not by the band, just by a punter. I didn't even see it, I just heard about it. I'm keeping on the safe side with unerring positivity toward everything! I really do like circle pit though!

These dudes have variously been in When Yr Dead, Yr Dead Forever, and Kiosk yeah?

Emperor's New Clothes. Sure, it's fun, and it's PUNK for young kids to get wasted, and be shit, and not have songs, and not give a fuck, and - y'know, like - fuck the system, man.

But when every musical project they're associated with is based on the same set of ideals (or lack thereof), I'm left wondering - where's the talent? Attitude/image does not equal talent. Dudes would be better off art directing for American Apparel or Vice. They'd at least make more money.

And opinions like mine play into their hands, because ''I just don't get it'', and they wouldn't care if I did anyway. But for mine, that simply self-defeating.

I liked the old line up with Gary & Nic heaps. I've yet to see the new one but not a huge fan of the recordings I've heard.


Zaphod  said about 1 year ago:

Feel free to tell me off, by the way. I have two heads and they can both handle it.


SpringRain  said about 1 year ago:

they look and kinda sound like royal trux. i'd rather just listen to royal trux records

NOT THEY DO NOT. Royal Trux are great. Circle Pit are not. The end.


TransientRandom  said about 1 year ago:

Zaphod sux man no taste probably wears the wrong pants go eat a sandwich or some other food if you dont like music maybe some chips or biscuits or a bit of toast.


Zaphod  said about 1 year ago:

NOM OM OM!

If food be the music of taste, nom om!

Kiosk, on the other hand had the pleasure (i'm sure) of supporting RTX on their tour here about 3-4yrs ago!


Repairs  said about 1 year ago:

I haven't seen them live in a long long time but the RIP Society 7'' is undeniably a fucking great record. Looking forward to the upcoming album.


rigid  said about 1 year ago:

Well, they came to Hobart and played The Brisbane. And y'know what? MIGHTY. Everyone who doesn't get this act - you're wrong. Really, you are totally wrong. The Royal Trux call - yeah but nah. There's a fair dollop of New York Dolls here, and a whole lot of winking cynicism and sly fun. Hobart had a good time with them, and I did as well, I drank their beer and vodka, I danced to crap and talked utter shit for hours. They were funny as fuck and silly as a wheel. They were almost as awesome as Always asking where the local beats where, but they just wanted weed. How they managed to not find weed in Hobart now - it's time of year when you cannot move for people selling bags - is beyond me, but they are from Sydney and they do have big fringes. I seriously enjoyed this act, and hope they come to Hobart again very soon.

Top band.

You don't like 'em?

You're fired from music. Here's your fucking letter of resignation. Sign the fucking thing and maintain some dignity.

You're my hero.


LaxCharisma  said about 1 year ago:

Looking forward to playing with them...


zeroman  said about 1 year ago:

If you don't like circle pit, you don't like rock n roll and you are a sad dweeb


CaptainFez  said about 1 year ago:

ABSOLUTIST ROCK AND ROLL!


Scale  said about 1 year ago:

I don't get it. I'm from Hobart.

memphis  said about 1 year ago:

goldfoot  said about 1 year ago:

Nah, not them.


liamsnice  said about 1 year ago:

How do these guys get away with having a naked punk with a hard on up on their myspace page? I got warned about a offensive picture on my old myspace that was no where near this indecent.


LaxCharisma  said about 1 year ago:

Wow...how DID they.


LaxCharisma  said about 1 year ago:

I'm impressed.

so massive they're now doing secret shows.


PondRepellent  said about 1 year ago:

They kind of remind of Dream Syndicate's take on the Velvet Underground.


PondRepellent  said about 1 year ago:

Also, I keep hearing the Mekon's ''Where Were You?'' in ''Another Trick''.


SpringRain  said about 1 year ago:

Mekon's ''Where Were You?'

SpringRain  said about 1 year ago:

Repairs  said about 1 year ago:
