Tomorrow is the last day of voting, so if you haven't voted today, get to it, and do what you can to get everyone you know voting as well, as it will be the decider for this competition!
Thanks again,

Tune in to Intellectual Property, from 10:30pm tonight on C4 - Marcel and Yvonne will be chatting to Camilla about the Send In The Clones video, and the recent mini-tour of the North Island.
Starting with our upcoming show at Shadows this Saturday night, anyone who comes dressed up to a Battle Circus show will be entitled to half priced entry at the door!
So unveil your secret alter-ego, get twisted with your favourite circus theme, go wild with creativity, and pull out all those things you've always wanted to wear out but weren't sure what people would think (bouncers have been instructed to turn overly judgemental people away at the door, don't worry!).
Making cameos on the night will be special guests from the 'Send In The Clones' universe, so you'll be in fine company!
Your friends,
Battle Circus
(for those who don't know yet, we'll be playing with Aether and Yokel Ono this Saturday night the 19th at Shadows - kicks off at 9pm)

cheers for the heads up- goes to show you're not hip 'til you're hip with the gam3rz

Bit of a change of plans for the Wellington show - it's now at Bodega with Fighting The Shakes and The Evils.
Sorry el schlong - the guys down in Wellington were organising this gig and they had already sorted the line up.. but we'll be back soon and keen to play with you guys
We have some North Island shows lined up for November:

Auckland - Shadows, Nov. 19th
Hamilton - Diggers, Nov. 26th
Guests TBA (if anyone's keen to join us on any of these dates, let us know)
Well, after 7 months of storyboards, pre-production, casting, costume-making, shooting, editing, post-production, special effects, pedantic changes and media transfers, the video for Send In The Clones is finally finished. You can see it on our website (the TV is working now) as of tomorrow, and C4 and Juice TV in the coming weeks. We can't thank enough all of the people who appeared in it, helped us make it, helped us make stuff, stayed up til 5am on many occasions, and above all, believed we could pull it off.
Anyway, we hope you like it - check the website from tomorrow.
Marcel, Yvonne, Ryan, Jaimz

For combining two (or more) midi inputs into one midi output. Preferably something that runs off midi power rather than its own powerpack. But anything considered. Contact us from our website.
once the send in the clones video is out it won't be long before we release our new single- probably closer to the end of the year.... and we'll definately try to get down south for some shows!
glad you like it
a teaser movie for the send in the clones video is now up on the website
Quite right.. sorry it's Leader To Ruin.
So the line up is:
Leader to Ruin

Following a year of international travel - with a main stage performance at Taiwan's Spring Scream Festival, and an Australian tour supporting art-rock vanguards The Red Paintings - Battle Circus returned home to release their debut EP, "The Half-Light Symphony".
Produced by David Holmes (Jakob, Gramsci), and featuring artwork by renown Japanese CG artist Ryohei Hase, the record is a grandiose, concept-rich epic - four tracks clocking in at over forty minutes. Sure to be one of the most talked-about releases of the year.

2. Love In A Fallout Shelter
