Circus Devils is an American psychedelic rock band founded in 2001 by Robert Pollard, best known as the lead singer and songwriter of the Dayton, Ohio, band Guided by Voices. The band consists of Pollard (vocals and lyrics), Todd Tobias (music and production), and Tim Tobias (music). Circus Devils employs a wide spectrum of musical styles ranging from acid rock to ambient soundscapes. On the band's web site, the music is described as "garage-prog, or "art rock made by cave men."〔(circusdevils.net )〕 == History == Circus Devils was originally conceived in 2001 as a side project to Robert Pollard's main work with Guided by Voices. As of 2015, the band has released thirteen full-length albums. Beginning with the release of their first album, Ringworm Interiors, Circus Devils dismissed the styles of Pollard's other musical endeavors for a more experimental approach, taking an ominous and nightmarish tone, exploring the themes of good and evil. According to the group's whimsical website bio, Circus Devils formed because a dog-faced man approached each member on separate occasions to deliver the message, "Circus Devils is Real." 〔(circusdevils.net )〕 Like this story, their lyrics are often unsettling fictional tales of horror delivered within deconstructed rock operas.〔( Allmusic.com )〕 Each Circus Devils album is distinguished by a theme, concept, or production style which sets it apart from the band's other albums. In 2007, the band's 5th album Sgt. Disco was released on Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings record label.〔(Ipecac Recordings )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Circus Devils」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
