New York City based band The
Slambovian Circus of Dreams are touring the UK in the first 2 weeks of July
2019.
Starting off as the almost heavy
metal Ancestors in the '90s the band have taken all that is good in folk,
country and americana with a twist of Pink Floyd flavouring.
The Slambovians have melded their own
unique sound that is at once familiar yet almost impossible to pigeon hole. The
Slambovian Circus of Dreams have such an eclectic live stage presence that once
seen, always hooked. Rubbing regular shoulders with some of the icons of
American music the band have got some serious endorsees.
Garth Hudson of The Band is a
committed Slambovian disciple and fan describing frontman Joziah Longo as “An awesome songwriter”. Writers have
quoted lyrical similarities to both Bob Dylan and John Prine. A close listen to
their many albums and well attended live shows would bear out that comparison.
Well known as a touring band
throughout the North Eastern States, the popularity of The Slambovian Circus of
Dreams have earned them a virtual residency at many of the larger folk
festivals.
Gary Lucas, outstanding guitarist
with Jeff Buckley and early member of Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band is quoted
saying "It was an honor and a
privilege to play with the great psychedelic band The Slambovian Circus of Dreams". Had the stars aligned, Gary Lucas would have toured
with the band given half a chance. Maybe next tour?
Dave Pegg, renowned bassist and long
time member of Fairport Convention, co-curator of Cropredy Festival met up with
Slambovian UK management, Jonti Willis recently and said we could quote him
widely, “Love the band and the music (of The Slambovian Circus of Dreams)” –
Dave Pegg Fairport Convention. He’s also going to endorse a
recommendation for a Cropredy Festival 2020 appearance too.
The New York Times says…. “They Take
The Stage By Storm” And so they do!
