Ban Jam ft Media Circus 21.October.2010

MEDIA CIRCUS are at the forefront of the South of England’s Bournemouth music scene. The four piece band, Sam Lowen, Luke Sandoe, Dale Jones, and Tom Reade are a culmination of previous music ventures. Soaring choruses, epic soundscapes and melodies that worm their way inside your head and bunker down for good: That's the Media Circus way. Formed in 2009 in the sleepy town of Ringwood in England's New Forest, the four-piece layer Sam Lowen's deep, rich vocals over Luke Sandoe's scattergun drums, while Dale Jones and Tomus Reade build a sound that far belies their years.
Having moved - albeit briefly - to London to further their careers, Media Circus have been the talk of the music industry, and it's easy to see why: Media Circus are already a stadium-sized band, so catch them now, before they turn stratospheric.

Sam's previous band ended but they continued writing and playing together with the absence of a full line up.
Dale took the role of bassist having had no previous experience with the instrument and took upon himself to learn as he was close to the band and a huge fan of their writing.
Sam’s college friend and jamming partner Luke then joined with similar music tastes. During jam sessions at the college it became increasingly obvious that they had a connection and left his then current band to join them.
The rest is history, Media Circus quickly became the most popular stadium quartet in Ringwood England. Media Circus are now relocating to London from Bournemouth.

Supporting Media Circus we have the band called UP, with influences like Wham! and Queen, this new band is causing quite the stir. They are receiving interest from various record labels and are in high demand for London venues.

Lastly but on stage first we have James Moss, James as a solo artist has raised a fair few head around London. The Brigton born has now put a band together called Familien, to be first seen at Ban Jam.

Our headlining DJ this week will be Ban Jam resident Bongo Worm, playing with our other resident dj’s Skip Skip Jump, Dylan Martinez and the lovely Soldiers Of The Knight. All playing some indie classics and funk. Also hitting the decks will be new BAN JAM track created by the dj and producer duo Bongo Worm.
