I love this episode. We cover so many insane things. Michi is an amazing person. The band he's in is incredible. This one is such a wild ride! 

It’s a circus party with cotton candy! 

With Berlin folk punk band Circus Rhapsody you can’t help but be amazed. Featuring a diverse musical sound that combines wild 50s rock’n’roll with ska and melodic punk, a juggling drummer, a climbing violinist and lots of free cotton candy — the energy is unforgettable and the show is a true spectacle. 

Now in 2021, the band has recently signed with Californian label Mannequin Vanity Records. Together, they plan to release the new album Just Kidding in June of 2021. To tease the upcoming album, Circus Rhapsody will drop their new single “Revolution” in May as well as several covers of their friends’ bands in a #singmysongmydearfriend social campaign. Music and performance videos will support the release as well. Running publicity will be Melanie Kaye PR (formerly of Fat Wreck Chords Canada). 

In 2019 Circus Rhapsody celebrated their 400th concert. Performances took place with Less Than Jake, Ignite, Wednesday 13, Nekromantix, The Kooks, Jaya the Cat, The Montreal, Feine Sahne Fischfilet, Mutabor and Turbostaat. Whether at a festival, small club or large hall – the four friendly rockers put on their very own frenetic show in every possible location.

For their 2018 tour the band supported the community 7 ” Sexxxy as fuck! Yummie as hell! released through the London label ‘Umlaut Records’. It contains guest appearances by: Ingo (Donots), CJ Ramone, Steven (Belvedere), Pat (The Decline), Filou (Berlin Boom Orchestra) Shrimpfield and many more. Also, in cooperation with ‘Elixier Gin’, the first own band Schnäps has appeared. The previous album Telling Horrorstories has been available in stores worldwide since November 2015 – in Europe via the Berlin label “Springstoff” and in Mexico via “Living Dead Records”. With 21 varied titles, it shows that Berliners have a lot to offer musically. In 2013 the debut album Pacific Playland was released in DIY style and enjoyed moderate local and regional success.
