Ska-punk chansons under the big top? What else could something called Babylon Circus sound like? But even that doesn't begin to capture the exhilarating spectacle, more infatuating than rock, more rocking than the circus. When we saw the ten young men from Lyon, France perform at their U.S. debut this past January, it was one of those rare moments where we really didn't want the show to end.

Their multilingual chicanery, improvised comedy, and unrelenting energy, not to mention their epic musical chops, create enormous power on stage, sweeping everyone off their feet with a unique sonic experience that explodes straight into the magical and incandescent.
