circus lupus

This episode Scott Sheridan and I are joined by Sonny Kay (Angel Hair/VSS) to discuss the gnarled beauty of Solid Brass, one of the albums most deserving of being reissued. Later in the show I gather all the members together to attempt a serious discussion ( I was almost successful). 

For our third and final entry in our "Summer Season", we are talking about Girls Against Boys debut full length, Tropic of Scorpio, from 1992. This was one of the harder years to find an album to fit our theme, and while musically GVSB's might not seem summery, that album cover is pure heat.

Wow, the first Dischord-approved picture disc. Adventurous? Disastrous? No big deal? Regardless, both Circus Lupus and Trenchmouth bring strong material to the project. Hear Scott and I unwrap this sonic candy (and try to stop staring at the magazine poster-style shot of CL). Towards the end of the show, Chris Thomson and Seth Lorinczi drop by to recall why they chose the cover song for the release and their memories of the project. Enjoy!

Joan Jett plus Circus Lupus equals magic! Who knew? Join Brian and Scott as they rhapsodize about the greatness of this strange 7'. Later in then show singer Chris Thomson and bassist Seth Lorinczi join us for a wild ride of a conversation about meeting Joan, playing crazy shows and the recording and reception of the Pop Man record. What else are you gonna do with the next three hours of your life?

So this is sadly Jeff's last episode before he goes on a "indefinite Hiatus". His voice will be missed, but his large spirit will still haunt the halls of the EOE studios. This episode we speak about Circus Lupus for the first time. Damn, this band was game changing for me and lots of folks. Fractured and feral, cerebral and bloody. Super Genius is one of the great Dischord debuts. Vocalist Chris Thomson stops by later in the show to fill in some of his musical history and share some stories of the formation of Circus Lupus. This is to be missed at your own peril.
