Full Circle

Circle, Finland’s answer to Hawkwind and Yes, are playing at the Ottobar in Baltimore tonight.

These guys are the modern masters of prog-rock. Which may not sound cool to some, but to me it garners nothing but respect. In the age of post-rock and psychedelic freak-out bands – Circle wear their old-school style proudly on their sleeves. These guys display nothing but originality while keeping a lost music genre alive and well into the 21st Century. Their live shows are rumored to be frantic jams highlighted by guitar kinetics and god-like drumming.

This is their first US tour in quite awhile and might be their last. So catch them while you can.
