Circus Brimstone Live CD

7th September 2005

The Flower Kings Instrumental offspring "Circus Brimstone" will release a Live CD named "BrimStoned In Europe" on September 20th in the tradition of recent "Live Official Bootlegs". It will be released as a Official bootleg and will be sold on the TFK website shop (merch section), at live shows and assorted mailorders and through the regular sources.

The CD is recorded by soundman Petrus Konigsson on the European tour April 2005 and has a good quality multitrack "boardfeed" recording that was later mixed in Cosmic Lodge Studio, sounds well as good as any "professional" live recording and on par with for example "Alive On Planet Earth". Place your order on the merchandise section.

1. Cosmic Lodge
2. Astral Dog/ Hellhound
3. Circus Brimstone
4. The Man Who Walked With Kings

Don't you find it interesting that the Brimstone CD in no way resembles the "Brimstone" set we saw in Metuchen?  I heard a guy at the show call for Astral Dog...  I assumed it was wishful thinking, but I guess he thought we'd be getting the Europe setlist...  which we were told we would.  It appears that our 'Brimstone' setlist was 100% unique to that show, though.

And yes, I need that Brimstone CD as well.

My guess would be through the site, when they list it... maybe on the 20th?  If I can scrape some cash up, that's the first thing I'm getting. 

I snickered.  I think Roine's got a thing for pseudonyms and such...  if he wants Circus Brimstone to be its own band that covers TFK instrumentals sometimes, so be it.

...what REALLY caught my eye was track 6 of the fanclub CD.  What'cha think of that?

Marcus was a pleasure to watch...  I couldn't believe it was only his 4th show with the Flower Kings, it sounded like he'd been there for quite some time.  If he keeps this ethic up, he's gonna blow my mind regarding what I drummer should be...  and Roine mentioned he sings, too!  I hung out with him for a few minutes at the show, Marcus seems like a really nice guy, to boot.

Dexter Frank Jr. is one of Roine's aliases, credited for additional keyboards/electronics (for those in the audience who are confused by this TFK-love thread)...  so I REALLY have no idea what that track will be like, it'd be like calling a song Don Azzaro or something
