What needs to be said about this band? If just a quick glance above coupled with their name doesn't instantly prick your curiosity then you are probably safer at home watching something nightmarishly dull on the telly. For those whose curiosity is running wild right now you would be right to assume these guys are eccentric! In my world you couldn't pay a better compliment. Eccentric is perfect, particularly when coupled with a level of talent and American stagecraft. Songs to die for and performances worth living for, I am wild with excitement at being able to bring them back again to Bluefunk.
 
If you aren't curious it must mean you were there for their first visit to us and you had your mind blown like we all did. No doubt we'll see you there for this one. 

Starting off in the 90’s as the almost heavy metal 'Ancestors' the band have taken all that is good in contemporary music, taken it to a secret place and using what can only be explained as alchemy, rebuilt it all into something impossibly different. It contains everything you've ever known but used in ways that are unfamiliar but somehow what you were expecting, what you always wanted. 
 
The Slambovian Circus of Dreams have such an eclectic live stage presence that once seen, always hooked. Rubbing shoulders regularly with some of the icons of American music this band has got some serious endorsees.
Garth Hudson of 'The Band' is a committed Slambovian disciple and fan, describing frontman Joziah Longo as “An awesome songwriter”. Other writers have quoted lyrical similarities to both Dylan and John Prine. A close listen to their many albums and well attended live shows would bear out that comparison.
 
*WARNING* - the huge global fanbase of this extraordinary band will almost ensure a sell out. Particularly after last year's rapid sell out and subsequent extraordinary show. Early attention recommended.
