Hello Friends,

I'm thrilled to announce "CIRCA:" {Billy Sherwood, Tony Kaye, Jimmy Haun, Jay Schellen} will be playing at the brand new "Laserium Theater" located in the heart of Hollywood, California at the corner of Hollywood and Vine Saturday Oct. 10th.
"Laserium" is back!! Those who've seen it before at the Los Angeles Griffith Park Observatory know what an amazing time it is!! Music set to an incredible laser light show; never the same twice because the lasers are operated "real time" by, as they say, a "laserist". There are plans to create the "Laserium Theater" experience in London, Las Vegas, NYC, Dubai, Japan and more so... Perhaps those who can't make it to L.A. will be able to see it elsewhere eventually.

Laserium Theater contacted Jim and me to produce our 1st CD "Headsets 1: Alone Out Here" into a full blown Headsets/Laserium production. This production is scheduled for an early 2010 release at the Laserium Theater in Hollywood and will be in rotation for quite some time.
The story follows our main character and his journey as a lost sailor in deep space. The show will include lasers, projections, music {Headsets 1: CD being the soundtrack} and a "visually compelling, emotional driven, adventurous movie" within the production itself.



This collaboration of Laserium and Headsets was so intriguing that we have decided to create a 2nd production... "Headsets Chapter 2:"
Here is where CIRCA: comes in...

CIRCA: will perform live the entire 2nd CD from the "Headsets" series - "Headsets Chapter 2: Sides" {released Aug 19th @ www.jimladdheadsets.com} amidst all the lasers, projections, smoke and mirrors. In addition, CIRCA: will play selected tracks from "CIRCA:2007", "CIRCA:HQ" and even a YES song or two.
These unique performances will be a combination of CIRCA: and the Laserium experience along with multi-media visual effects and will feature "Jim Ladd of KLOS/HEADSETS" who will be your guide for the evening's musical adventures in both filmed segments projected on 3 big screens as well as intimate live spoken word performances on stage. At the center of it all will be CIRCA: live like you've never seen before!!
The show runs 1 hour, 30 minutes. Since the Laserium Theater has limited capacity {420} CIRCA: are going to do 2 performances of the show in the same evening. Show times are 8:00 and 10:00 {with the possibility of a 12:00 midnight show added}.

There will be a lot of local L.A. advertising on KLOS radio and in print ads so we anticipate tickets to move swiftly. Ladd's KLOS listeners, "The Tribe" as they are known, will be grabbing up tickets fast {there are many tribe members}. I'll post a link for tickets as soon as I get it. I want to give a heads up to my friends here at Myspace to make sure you get a jump on tickets to see this extravaganza!!

Just a reminder...
I will be on KLOS 95.5 Los Angeles {tomorrow} Wednesday Aug 19th @ 12:00 midnight PST. We will be previewing selected tracks from the new "Headsets 2: Sides" CD as well as speaking about CIRCA:, Laserium and other things in the works so... Please join me, call in and say hi!!

CIRCA: OVERFLOW {Billy Sherwood Vocals Bass, Tony Kaye Organ, Keyboards, Jimmy Haun Guitars, Vocals, Jay Shcellen Drums, Precussion, Vocals}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 : Fate And Destiny


Holding on to their distant memories
Some many far away from home
Sacrifice's made, prices always paid
For the sake of us all

Just another day in the line of fire
Any moment could be their last
Living under the gun
Their part of everyone...
Father, mother, sister, brother, daughter and son


Standing on the corner of "fate and destiny"
Waiting, watching for a sign, wondering what will be
Starring on with open eyes at our living history
Watching, waiting for a sign at "fate and destiny"


Somethings in the air, people everywhere
Feel the winds of change blowing
Lives will never be quite the same
Somehow we all keep going
 
Just another day in the modern age
Any moment could be our last
Living under the gun, we're targets everyone
Father, mother, sister, brother, daughter and son


Standing on the corner of "fate and destiny"
Waiting, watching for a sign, wondering what will be
Starring on with open eyes for our moment to be free
Watching, waiting for a sign at "fate and destiny"


No one knows what's coming, can't look back without seeing
What we're really in it for, there's no turn and running
Only forward motion...


Starring on with open eyes at our living history
Watching, waiting for a sign at "fate and destiny"
Only forward motion...
Father, mother, sister, brother, daughter and son
Starring on with open eyes for our moment to be free
Watching, waiting for a sign at "fate and destiny"
Only forward motion...


---------------------------------------------------------------------

2: Pure Intuition


Going to be guided by pure intuition
Gone are the ways of all indecision
Facing the challenge with a new sense of wanting
Leaving behind all the ghosts that we're haunting


Now and then you've got to draw the line
Never again...


Good day sunshine

Going to be guided by pure intuition
Good day sunshine


--------------------------------------------------------------

3: Shifting Sands


Like a distant mirage, like the shadows on the sands
Always shifting with the winds, always moving on
Ever drifting to the edge, ever facing destiny
What we build on shifting sands
Over time will tell what will be
And we'll see it, and we'll feel it
And the truth will be so clear to see

It's so clear to see

What this world could become, if the world came undone
Ever drifting to the edge, would we drift alone ?
Will we win hearts and minds ?
Will we gain a trust in time ?
Like a distant mirage getting closer to it every time
And we'll see it, and we'll feel it
And the truth will be so clear to see


Like a distant mirage, like the shadows on the sands
Always shifting with the winds, always moving on
Ever drifting to the edge, ever facing destiny
What we build on shifting sands
Over time will tell what will be
And the truth will be so clear to see


It's so clear to see what this world could become
Ever drifting to the edge
Will we win hearts and minds ?
Will we gain a trust in time ?

Like a distant mirage...


-----------------------------------------------------------------

4: Word On Paper


Holding on to something that desires to be free
Believing that somehow you can solve a mystery
You'll never know just what the future will bring
Seeing in black and white


No one knows...

Facing the facts you give no reaction
Words on anger, words of pain
Sacred promises made in vain


Words on paper fading away
Blue sky slowly melts into Grey
Word on paper, if deeds are carved in stone
Why are there so many questions ?
Their better left alone


"Life was easy"
Words on paper written for someone else

Holding on to something that desires to be free

Going to take a lot to learn, learn to forgive
Words on paper with nothing left to say
Blue sky slowly melts into Grey

Words on paper, deeds are carved in stone
Why are there so many questions ?
Going to take a lot to learn
So many details...

Words on paper can never really tell
Blue sky slowly melts into Grey
Going to take a lot to learn, learn to forgive


--------------------------------------------------------------------

5: So The Story Goes


Where is the light to break the darkness ?
Where is the reservoir for spirits run dry ?
Where is the dreamer where is the fortune ?
Where is the answer when I don't know why ?
And I've given up trying
Got to find a way to stay on track


Where do you go when the road takes a bend ?
What do you with the time that you spend ?
How do you cope with the uncertainty of knowing
You don't know where the story ends ?


Where is support to catch the fallen ?
Where is the magic that keeps us holding on ?
Where is the hope for a better tomorrow ?
Where is the rain the heart is barren ?
And you've given up trying
Got to find a way to stay on track


Where do you go when the road takes a bend ?
What do you with the time that you spend ?
How do you cope with the uncertainty of knowing
You don't know where the story ends ?

So the story goes...


Where is the magic that keeps us holding on ?
So the story goes...
Before you've given up trying
You've got to find a way to stay on track


I get down on my knees and I...
Where do you go when the road takes a bend ?
I got all that I need and I...
What do you with the time that you spend ?
I get down on my knees and I...
How do you cope with the uncertainty of knowing
You don't know where the story ends ?


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
6: Life Goes On


Life goes on...


Can't stop the hands of time, life marches on
Living for every moment, each and everyone
Over the next horizon, home at last


There's always a new sun rising
There's always a chance
Over the next horizon, home at last

Watching the world real time, life on the run
Images will hypnotize each and everyone
Over the next horizon, home at last


There's always a new sun rising
There's always a chance
Over the next horizon, home at last


No one knows where it all ends, where we all belong
Living for every moment, each and everyone
Over the next horizon, home at last


There's always a new sun rising
There's always a chance
Over the next horizon, home at last


Over the next horizon
Life goes on...


------------------------------------------------------------------

7: Coming At You


What in the world have we become
When there's not enough room for everyone
When you try to intervene
You get caught in the landslide


Don't know where we're going to
But we know where we're coming from
As hard as it was to believe it
You better believe there's a war to be won
It's coming at you whether you like it or not


It's coming at you whether you like it or not


There's no erasing what we've all seen
There's no escaping what The truth means
There's no stopping the war machine
There's no running from the enemy


What in the world has it become
Never forget what's done is done
Don't look now but we're caught in a landslide


Don't know where we're going to
But we know where we're coming from
As hard as it was to believe it
You better believe there's a war to be won
It's coming at you whether you like it or not


It's coming at you whether you like it or not

There's no running from the enemy
There's no erasing what we've all seen
There's no escaping what The truth means
There's no stopping the war machine
There's no running from the enemy


Lost for all time, chances gone by
Fate will decide all of our lives


What in the world would we become
If a dark age fell on everyone
Try to intervene
You get caught in the landslide


Don't know where we're going to
But we know where we're coming from
As hard as it was to believe it
You better believe there's a war to be won
It's coming at you whether you like it or not


It's coming at you whether you like it or not


It's coming at you
