Change in plans! New Wed night show announced...

The Zak & Mitch acoustic show has been canceled. Instead, Circle II Circle will now perform a full headline set upstairs in the Loft that same night (Sept 24th). They have promised to bring back the AC/DC jam finale as well as an Atlanta exclusive.

Support will come from Atlanta's own Eclipsed by Sanity.

In order to cover the additional costs of moving the show upstairs, tickets are now $20. Tickets go on sale April 5th via Ticket Alternative (link TBA).

Private Gold Badge/Sponsor Meet & Greet at 5:30pm.
Regular doors at 6:30pm.
Show at 7:00pm.

Metal karaoke will follow downstairs in Vinyl's starting at 10:00pm (or earlier pending finish time). There will be a $2 cover.

The decision was made to change the show this year because so many fans missed out on the Wed show last year due to the limited amount of tickets. Furthermore, this will give all fans a chance to see the band that will miss out on the U.S. tour due to geographical distance & economic considerations. Fans will also experience a full 90 minute show compared to the direct support slot on the Jon Oliva's Pain U.S. tour.


Finally, visit the Circle II Circle Myspace page to hear a new track from the upcoming disc, "Delusions of Grandeur." Additional tunes/samples will be added on a weekly basis.

So it's come to this. I get an email from Glenn, drop whatever I'm doing, and head to the forum

This latest announcement is good/bad. Seeing CIIC in a full set - great. Missing out on Zak doing a special acoustic set - bad. Last year I loved the Oliva acoustic, even though (or maybe BECAUSE) it was so different.

Still, no complaints. This is now FOUR full nights of major bands. Glenn, please don't let this fest bleed into Tuesday night. I'm not sure if my wallet, marriage, or stamina could handle it

Can't wait to see CIIC.

1) How many people can the loft hold?

2) Will there be a Gold Badge presale for this one?

We're happy to be able to perform in this pre-festival activity. We're speechless right now actually. We'll post more when we're able to collect ourselves.

Thank you for this opportunity. We won't let any of you down!

No pre-sale necessary. I do not anticpate a sell-out simply because it being a Wednesday night and I doubt the majority can come in that early.

The new stuff is pretty different for C2C but after a few listens I'm starting to dig it quite a bit. I still say Fatal Warning sounds like it could be a Division tune

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are quite proud to have been considered for this slot, and now even more so to be an official part of kicking off the festivities for the ninth edition of the biggest and best metal festival/event in the United States, ProgPowerUSA. We humbly thank Glenn Harveston and ProgPowerUSA for this special opportunity to advance our musical career as a band. This definitely lights a new fire in our already steadfast drive to make a statement in the current metal scene. We are already making preparations and redirecting our finances to have a tangible studio-quality (4-song) EP for everyone within the next few months, so please excuse the quality of our samples on myspace for the time being.

We are tentatively planning something very special for this event that even our local fans may be surprised to see/hear. More details, of course, will be announced as we finalize these ideas.

The band would also like to recognize those of you that have stood by us and have continued to push us to be everything that defines Eclipsed By Sanity - especially the guys from Halcyon Way and A Lower Deep.


Thank you one and all!


(footage from our Sweetwater show 3/15)

And the surprises continue! Guess I better plan on leaving really early on Wednesday now! I had no complaints with the acoustic set, but this will work too!

And a MAJOR congrats goes out to Patirck and Eclipsed By Sanity! You guys are young, hungry, and working hard! Glad that you guys got the recognition you deserve! And maybe this time you will have your full band! Kick some ass!!
