Electric Swing Circus
The Electric Swing Circus is a 6-piece fusion of classy 20’s swing and stomping electro beats. With an explosive sound that reverberates back through time, them with their own unique style of swing the ESC always brings the party!
A full time, touring band on the international circuit, the ESC’s live set includes vintage samples, gypsy-jazz guitar, electric double bass, keys, drums, synths and electro beats. Fronted by a powerful female double-act, the ESC delivers a consistently dazzling show. They’ve released two genre defining albums on Ragtime Records: ‘Electric Swing Circus’ and ‘It Flew By’
Rocking stages at festivals and events across the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the ESC have travelled the world and earned themselves a reputation for stunning high energy live shows. There is nothing quite like the ESC on stage, in full costume the band looks great, sounds great and they keep the stage jumping until the curtain falls. With main stage shows at festivals like Boomtown and Shambala, as well as the Avalon stage headline set at Glastonbury 2015, the band have shown they get the crowd moving at any time of day or night.
The second album, “It Flew By” (2017), showed a real development of the ESC sound, including catchy songs, thundering synths, swinging samples and soaring vocals. The recording process took almost two years of experimentation to discover how best to capture the energy from the live show and translate it to record.
The band took all the lessons learned from these successful sessions with producer James Bragg (the Skints, Gengah, Dry the River) onto their next release, the “Connected/ Invisible Man EP” (2019). On this EP the band truly laid down their distinctive and individual sound, unleashing a musical benchmark befitting their prominence in a genre that they have made their own. Releasing some of their most ambitious videos to date to promote this material, the future look very bright for the ESC as the 20s return.
