Circa Survive in Concert
In their decade-plus career, Circa Survive have continued to challenge themselves and test the boundaries of musical genres. With each album they've gone outside their musical comfort zone, jumping between post-rock, psychedelic, prog, post-hardcore and shoegaze, creating a sound that's uniquely theirs yet has the power to connect with a wide swath of music fans.
Their latest album, Descensus, isn't just an impressive illustration of Circa Survive's constantly evolving creativity; it's a testament to the strong bond the five members share. They've experienced career highs and personal lows, but their dedication to each other has never wavered. "We're just in a really sweet spot in our career where a lot of the hard stuff from the beginning is out of the way, and we're in this place where we know how to write a Circa song, and we also know how to walk outside of our comfort zone together and enjoy it," guitarist Colin Frangicetto says. "It just seems like at this point now there's really nothing to be afraid of."
The band embraced that fearless mentality when they went into the studio to write and record Descensus. After months of personal upheaval for each of the members, they managed to put all that aside and concentrate on making music together. With producer Will Yip once again at the helm, Circa Survive emerged with an album that they describe as their best yet. Whether it's loud and chaotic ("Schema"), trippy and indecisive ("Always Begin") or vulnerable and dejected ("Nesting Dolls"), Descensus is the sound of a band on the same page.
Circa Survive formed in 2004 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It didn't take long for them to catch people's eyes and ears, both for their standout debut album, Juturna, and their passionate and dynamic live shows. Each album that followed was a success, from 2007's On Letting Go to their major-label debut Blue Sky Noise (which would go on to debut at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, their highest chart position yet) to 2012's Violent Waves, which they self-released.
Circa Survive continue to evolve, creating music that challenges and intrigues them as artists. Their shared desire to constantly create something new is what's kept both their music and their bond strong.
Circa Survive is: Anthony Green (vocals), Colin Frangicetto (guitar), Brendan Ekstrom (guitar), Nick Beard (bass) and Steve Clifford (drums).

Went into this show with some expectations. I haven't seen them live since 2008, so I was hoping to be blow away. Man, was I right, they came correct!! They still have an amazing light show, and they sound huge! Great, clear, loud music! If you ever get the chance to see them live, don't pass it up. Oh did I mention, they filmed it for a DVD.
I had see them last at the Fox Theater in Pomona but that does not come slow in comparison to this venue. This performance was one to remember with a lot of songs from Juturna and special guests Jeremy Bolm and Tosin Abasi. First time at the Shrine Expo and most amazing experience, I will definitely being seeing them again in Los Angeles.
Killed it. Best circa show ever. Such a humble and amazing band. Gets me pumped thinking abot it
I can't even put into words just how much loved that show.I have always been a fan of circa survive, but seeing them live was so Damn awesome. BEST.SHOW.EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
The show was amazing. Both The Dear Hunter and Circa were at their best. The venue was big and nice. I was in the balcony for the majority of the show and the view was perfect without having to deal with the crowd. The only complaint I have is the event staff. They were totally confusing, every single employee would contradict eachother as far as what to do. Besides that, great show.
Short and simple. Nothing is ever going to top this concert. Best night of my life by far.
I have seen Circa Survive 5+ times and they never disappoint. It felt amazing to be in the same building with about 5,000 people who love Circa as much as I do. The setlist was great! The venue was a little overwhelming since I always see them in smaller venues, but I could hear and see them perfectly from any angle.
Circa Survive put out an amazing show. I had a blast!
Boomshakalaka it was a good show, some on stage guests and rare live song's.
Dear hunter was dooooope. Circa put on a good show. Can't wait for the DVD.
circa survive and minus the bear was amazing, didn't know it was going to be so much fun!!
Minus The Bear put on a much better show than I expected. Circa Survive put on a mediocre show by the standards they set for themselves at every other show I've seen them play. Either way the show was amazing and I can't wait for them to come back.
Minus the Bear was awesome and played really chill then Circa came out and everyone just started rocking out and crowd surfing nonstop.
Circa survive is an incredible band. They always put on a show! It had a wonderful energy and the whole crowd was engaged. Minus the bear was the perfect opening act. I witnessed true musicianship. If you haven't seen these guys, you should eat in that.
Minus The Bear always puts on an amazing show. Circa Survive has an amazing band, but the vocals of the lead singer sounded a bit off, so maybe just the sound check needed another round.
They proved this again saturday night. I did not think they were the headliner, but they turned out to be at this show. 20% of the crowd left after Circa Survive. They have no idea what they were missing. Couldn't really stand Circa Survive. They were too loud and the sound for their set sounded crispy. Not a good live band is what people tell me. Minus the bear played a blistering set with many of the crowd favorites from their album Omni. State theater is my opinion is one of the best places to see a show. Perfect view of the stage and not really crowded on the right side where I was standing. Also they have reasonably price beers which is good. The long trail IPA is a good thing. Gotta love Maine.
I love circa survive and the venue was perfect for them. Would definitely see them here again
By far one of the best shows I have seen in a little while. The Fillmore Silver Spring is hands down the best venue in the DC area. Not only was it easy to get to, but was a breeze to leave from. The place has a 2nd floor where I watched the show and had the perfect view of the entire festival. I've never seen a venue set up and break down so quickly before. The music was amazing. I had not heard many of the bands that played, but will say I am a fan of some of the new bands I have heard. Circa Survive was absolutely amazing and I was so glad I waited all day to see them play. Fantastic show and a fantastic venue. Can't wait to go to another show there.
Circa Survive put on a great set and it was my first time seeing them at the Fillmore. I'd recommend seeing other performances at the Fillmore.
If you don't see circa live you shouldn't see anyone
