The Freebird bands | DEXTER JONES CIRCUS ORCHESTRA
Biography
The founding members of Dexter Jones’ Circus Orchestra have been playing
together in different constellations for several years. But in 1999 they felt that they
needed a fresh clean start, and from that The Circus was born. The first year was a bit
cumbersome since the band members lived in different parts of the country, during some
periods they weren't even on the same continent.
During the winter 01-02 the band members
all moved back to the town where it all had started: Umeå, in the northern part of Sweden.
There they settled down and really got to business with shaping the future sound of heavy
rock music.
In the winter of 2004, the work started on the debut album CD. That
album, released in
june 2004 was accompanied by unanymously stunning reviews worldwide.
That paved the way
for two European tours in 2005. In the autumn of that year, the
foundation was laid for a new EP, which was once again released by
Freebird. Their second full length "Side by side" saw the light on
Fuzzorama in 2006.

The Circus Orchestra brings groove rock in an unexpected way:
"We have been labeled blues-based or a-little-on-the-prog-side, because we do not fit into
the stoner rock cliche". Their music is all about celebrating the wonder and mystery of rock
& roll. Hidden somewehere under that mellow or ambient approach, is an unchained beast that
can strike at any moment. Their debut CD fits well in your rock collection between Fooz and
Orquesta Del Desierto! So make room for it...
