From the Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Fest:

Review from JAMBASE

Although blues and bluegrass music are the only two genres in the title, the festival breathes creativity across dozens of musical influences.
This was most obvious as the Environmental Encroachment Magic Circus Band assembled for their brief set. The group – a motley crew of bunny-ear-wearing bohemian bandsters – fiddled with their instruments amongst the patrons. Then, without warning, they blasted into the opening of Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (Phish's "2001" for those less familiar with Strauss) from areas all over the lobby. Eventually congregating near the stage, the drummers and horn players brought the song to its crescendo. The ensuing funk jam brought all 17 or 18 Magic Circus members to the stage for their next song. The pavilion audience was enthralled with the scene.

Review from Festival Family

Then it was time to give the most fun band of the day their shot! The Environmental Encroachment Magic Circus Band is a twenty to thirty-ish odd piece band dedicated to bring a little madness to any and all situations. A spectacle of whirling marching band jams, psychedelic uniforms and bunny ears, they brought such a good and majestic level of insanity to the day. Solidly their own, they marched through the crowd and serpentined their way through each other while never missing a beat. I will do all I can to promote their particular brand of weirdness and can not wait to experience them again! -Rex
