Come find us on facebook / electricswingcircus
Check out our new video - Valentine! • Electric Swing Circus ...
The Electric Swing Circus, a 6 piece Electro Swing band that fuses cool 20's swing with stomping electro beats in a dazzling live show. Fronted by the sassy Sisters of Swing with the addition of live drums, fretless bass, gyspy jazz guitar, keys, synths and swinging samples. The Electric Swing Circus hotfoots its way through everything from breakbeat and house to jungle and dubstep, whilst keeping true to their own unique style of swing.
The Electric Swing Circus burst out of Birmingham in 2011 to take up residency of the Hot Club De Swing, and Electro Swing Club UK wide. Their stunning live performance has earned them airtime on the BBC bigscreen nationwide and the coveted title of BEST LIVE ACT in the ElectroSwing Peoples Favorite Awards 2011.
Ladies and Gentlemen, hold onto your hats. The circus is coming to town.
Big thanks to George aka Geode for the beats and more videos comings soon.

[@marckhachfe1238]

You guys are fucking awesome. Really really awesome. Along with Parov Stelar, you guys make the absolute best Electro Swing.

[@sanezan]

Just watched these guys for the second time at Nozstock and then was lucky enough to meet them after their set. Not only are they brilliant musicians with a fantastic stage presence and a fantastic ability to hype the audience, they are also wonderfully nice people! Will definitely be seeing them again!

Big up from India. Just the kinda stuff that I love.

[@RonnieRawwrr]

I am myself a teenager, yet I passionately love both metal/hardcore and electroswing. And I am so happy I just found this amazing group! :)

[@roseschocolate1991]

someone I know posted this song on Facebook, and now I can't stop listening to it.

[@ExoMilk]

Ahhhhh still my all time favourite electro swing song! I can't help but love this version slightly more than the album one ;)

[@vianneypostic]

Guys, you're friggin awesome ! Please come some time to Paris, we are a lot of electro swing fans round here.

[@electricswingcircus]

Saw these guys at Shambala - they were utterly fabulous! There was a powercut at the beginning of their set and I'm so glad I stayed there and waited it out because it was so worth it :)

[@rickpaschmanns8483]

We need you here in Germany!

[@Yeorl]

Honestly one of the things I love most about your band - is that you deliver exactly what's expected from you and more, it's electro, it's swinging and it has the power of character a circus would. God I love you guys. XD

[@ericrivera1570]

[@Kashtin577]

I really really really want to download your songs for free. But I cannot with a moral conscience. You deserve at least 10 of my dollars for the couplet of songs on your Facebook. For your brilliant innovation as an artist.

[@electricswingcircus]

[@feldield]

I have to say I love this song, and i'm waiting to hear more music in this style now.

[@pumpnote]

I used to hate this kind of music so much when I was a teenage. You know when rock and hardcore was in my blood. But now I am totally addicted to it and cant even turn back to listen to those fast guitar lead any longer. And your band and your music really made my day and now my GF is so surprise about what I turn on every morning. Thank you Keep it Up ^ ^
