Background Singer, Drums.

ABOUT

Star Circus is the brainchild of Dave Winkler (Bordello Rose, Renegade Playboys, Trophies of Man). After a detour playing guitar and touring as a hired gun for acts such as Bow Wow Wow, Johnny Lima and Ryan Hamilton, in late 2019 the band materialised out of Dave's passion to create an album focused around his own material.

Having released the single 'Love is the Enemy' with a spectacular launch show, followed by the acclaimed videos for 'Save Your Life' and 'Just Like in a Movie', the debut album, produced by Tony Wilson (TotalRock/Scardust), is set for release later this year.

"Dave first played me the demos for this album in November 2017 and I was blown away by them - song after song crammed with catchy riffs and commercial hooks. I knew straight away that I’d love to work on this album and bring these fabulous songs to life."
- Tony Wilson

The album will also feature some other great players such as Dan Stevens (Inglorious), Tom Draper (Carcass, Angelwitch) and features some backing vocals from our good friend Ben Christo (Sisters of Mercy/ Diamond Black).

“Infectious hooks & musical sophistication abound as Star Circus channel frontman Winkler’s inimitable style through the best of ‘70s/‘80s rock, creating a sound both comfortingly classic and excitingly innovative.” - Ben Christo
