New York, NY (TOP40 Charts/ Atlantic Records) -- Atlantic recording group
Circa Survive announce the release of their third full length album, "BLUE SKY NOISE." Produced by three-time Grammy winner
David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, King Crimson) and mixed by Rich Costey (Interpol, The Mars Volta, Rage Against The Machine), the highly anticipated collection arrives in stores and online today, April 20.
To celebrate the release of "BLUE SKY NOISE," Circa Survive have scheduled a live chat and acoustic performance to take place on their official website, www.circasurvive.com. Beginning tonight at 7:30pm ET, fans can discuss the new album with the band, their forthcoming Alternative Press magazine cover story, and more. The chat and performance will also be hosted by www.altpress.com. Fans can get a sneak peek of Circa Survive's cover at the magazine's site now.
Later this week, Circa Survive will be heading on cross-country trek supporting Coheed & Cambria. The tour kicks off in Charlotte, NC, at The Fillmore Charlotte on April 22nd and continues through a finale in Washington, DC, at the 9:30 Club on May 27th (see itinerary below).
On June 8th, Circa Survive is scheduled to premiere their lead single "Imaginary Enemy" on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" in advance of their highly anticipated slot at this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, later that week. To mark the release of "BLUE SKY NOISE," NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly" will broadcast the band's explosive performance of album cut "Get Out" from this year's Bamboozle Festival tonight (check local listings).
Circa Survive has emerged as one of the most visionary and forward-thinking young bands in contemporary rock music today. The band was recently heralded as one of Spin magazine's "Must-Hear Bands at SXSW 2010," and are set to grace the cover of Alternative Press magazine's "Innovators Issue" (hitting newsstands May 4).
Founded in 2004, Circa Survive unleashed its acclaimed debut, "JUTURNA," the following year via Equal Vision Records. The album -- coupled with the band's relenetless touring -- saw the birth of a fervent fan following, one which would catapult 2007's sophomore release, "ON LETTING GO," to a top 25 chart debut on the Billboard 200. A remarkably volatile live act, Circa Survive has headlined numerous sold out tours while also sharing stages with an array of independent-minded artists, including My Chemical Romance, Coheed & Cambria, The Gaslight Anthem, Pelican, Rise Against, and countless others. The band has additionally performed at a wide range of festivals including the 2007 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, where their performance prompted Spin to praise frontman Anthony Green's "crystalline, soprano vocals" which "whip out above the fracas, weaving in and out between Circa's dueling guitars."
Circa Survive is: Nick Beard (bass), Steve Clifford (drum), Brendan Ekstrom (guitar), Colin Frangicetto (guitar), Anthony Green (vocals)
