Episode 139 - Circus Trees
from Above The Basement - Boston Music and Conversation Hosted by Chuck Clough
We saw Circus Trees at The Sinclair in Cambridge when we were there to celebrate The Record Co. and their upcoming new space in Boston. Three young women came on the stage in front of a full house. And once they began playing, everyone paid attention. They blew us away. Finola, 15, Giuliana, 17 and Edmee, also known as Egg, 13, are sisters from Marlborough, MA. And they play sad music. We love sad music. And by the time they finished their set we had already gone over to Robert McCarthy - their manager/dad and founder of Five By Two Records - and he kindly gave us some vinyl of their debut album Sakura. Giving us free vinyl is a sure way to get on ATB, but in their case they did not need to bribe their way on. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with Egg, Finola and Giuliana and talked influences, writing, rehearsing and how three sisters can get along, collaborate and create intelligent, amazingly sad, but gut-wrenchingly beautiful and emotional rock music in a band that is garnering a lot of attention in Boston.
