MEET CIRCUS DEVILS

Left to right: Tim Tobias (music) / Robert Pollard (vocals, lyrics, album art) / Todd Tobias (music and record production) CIRCUS DEVILS is a psychedelic rock trio founded in 2001 by Robert Pollard, best known as the founder, songwriter and vocalist for the indie rock pioneers Guided by Voices. Circus Devils incorporates a musical alchemy of hard rock and soft rock, tension and ambience, eerie moods, story-worlds, rock opera theatrics, humor and nightmares, beauty and ugliness, resulting in much consternation among music critics. But for those who take the dive, each album offers a strangely coherent cinematic music experience. Band member Todd Tobias says "Our music is for everyone."
