Drummer Needed In The Delaware Valley!

2010-02-01T14:58:00.003-05:00

Hello!
This is Coz, singer of Circuit Theory.

Tom (guitarist) and I are attempting to form a new musical project. But we're looking for a talented drummer.

DO YOU KNOW ONE? ARE YOU ONE?

Perhaps you are one and you're not satisfied with your current situation!

He or she should at least fit the following criteria:
1. Be able to practice twice a week in Brooklawn, NJ.
2. Be at least 21 years old.
3. Be able to keep a beat.

The musical style would be a mix of Circuit Theory's sound and the sounds found here: http://www.myspace.com/lostwithin1

Any further questions the interested party may have can be answered by sending their queries to band@circuittheorymusic.com.

Auditions would begin occurring ASAP.

Thanks for your time and for any help you can provide us in finding that certain special someone.

Thank You

2008-10-13T15:13:00.000-04:00

We told you that if you were a fan, you'd regret not coming out to see us at The Cherrywood this past Friday! Those who were there got to see something special. It was our last show. Or, at least it was our last one played as you currently know us.

We're not yet sure if the name will carry on with one of us, or if it'll be buried, but we are all in support of each other and will be supporting our individual plans as musicians by updating YOU fine folks through our Myspace account. So "STAY TUNED" to hear the future of Circuit Theory and our band member's future endeavors.

Major thanks to YOU for YOUR support thus far. You'll be hearing from us again soon, don't worry. Sign up on our mailing list, too, to ensure you get our updates.

~~~~~~ CIRCUIT THEORY ~~~~~~~

Coz Baldwin, Rick Bruneau, Tom Gleason, Jonny Croce

Forums & New Recording

2008-08-22T16:05:00.000-04:00

First off, we apologize, but all members of the Circuit Theory Forums must sign up again.

There was a glitch in the system and it had to be deleted and built back up from scratch. So let's start clean again, shall we?
http://www.circuittheorymusic.com/forum/

In other news, we are recording this weekend. Just one song - and it will most likely be our new one which debuted at The Pennant back on 8/9. We're looking forward to letting the rest of the world know what type of sound we're maturing into. We hope you'll find it more accessible with more drive behind it.

New Pics / Taking A Break

2008-06-24T16:34:00.002-04:00

This month we modeled for Jodi Samsel so we could get some new promo shots with Jonny. We think they turned out great! What do you think?

Check them out at the newly updated Circuit Theory Galleries.

=============

We also are going to attempt to take the next few months off so we can focus better on writing new material as well as finish up the songs we're working on. We may even get to record a song or two during the break, too.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll see you again in a few months with some very catchy tunes in hand. Hope you'll be out to hear them.

Circuit Theory Hits WYSP

2008-04-28T02:17:00.001-04:00

94WYSP played our song "Mother, May I" tonight on Tommy Conwell's Loud & Local show with some high praise by Tommy himself.

So now that WYSP has our CD, it would be a great honor if you began to request the song be played more.

"But Mr. Circuit Theory Band, how do I do that?"

I'm glad you asked!
You can request a song online HERE:
http://94wysp.com/pages/1075148.php

Or you can call one of the request lines at any time of the day.
215-592-9494
215-263-ROCK (7625)
Or text them at WYSP1 (99771)

Hey, just because we're a local band doesn't mean we can't get into the rotation!
If you feel we deserve it, the power is in your hands.

**********************************
P.S. Our Troc show tickets are no longer available for online ordering. If you still haven't gotten yours, please contact us ASAP to arrange a personal meeting with us between now and Wednesday to get yours.

Meet Bert (updated)

2008-02-12T11:06:00.001-05:00

UPDATED: 2/18/08

Circuit Theory has secured a temporary bassist. Meet Bert Bigler!

We've been informed that Bert cannot be our full-time bassist as originally planned. So we're still looking for a full-timer. Meanwhile, Bert will be taking care of the upcoming shows we have in February.

A Special Announcement

2008-01-29T16:44:00.000-05:00

A Message from Sean (the bassist)

The end of last year started to pick up quite nicely with the release of the EP, and the band starting to get back into performing live, expanding the areas of shows and continuing momentum. Now that the new year is under way and the with trying to keep up the momentum, there also comes new ideas, challenges, and changes.

With that said, Circuit Theory and I are parting ways. Now I know what you are saying to yourself, "Who's the bassist? Oh yeah, the quiet one. Who cares he's the easiest one to replace." And you're correct, in this case, I am the easiest to replace, so it shouldn't be very difficult for them to find someone new and most likely better. I will still be making music, whether or not it gets out to the public, is a different story, and this also affords me more time for other interests that have been pushed off. I don't have a MySpace page, so in any odd event that someone wants to contact me and keep up to date with what I'm doing, you're more or less out of luck along those lines. Though, if you look hard enough, you may find me. However, I still do work with Rick, so if you're nice, he might be gracious enough to pass anything along to me. The past couple years have been a fun and exciting experience. I thank everyone for their support and the great people and bands I've met along the way. It means more than you can imagine, thank you.

Sean

As mentioned, Sean Mathes is no longer the bassist of Circuit Theory. We'll still be playing the 3 shows currently scheduled for February 15th, 20th, and 22nd, so we are hopeful you will still come out and support us. We're actively seeking a replacement bassist and look forward to a very speedy recovery back to the scene. We'll be sure to keep you all updated. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us through this website or Myspace. Thank you very much.

New design, new shows

2007-09-23T20:53:00.000-04:00

Thanks for visiting the brand new circuittheorymusic.com. Along with the re-launch of the site, it's officially marking a re-launch of the band. We'll be making every effort we can to continually play live shows and spread ourselves out as much as possible. We'll need every bit of help we can get, though, so if you can visit the fan area and utilize some of the banners, AIM icons, widgets, and anything else you can do to help promote us, that would be a great start.

We hope you enjoy this new design and find it a comfortable and convenient place to visit and get information about us.

Also, for those who thought the day would never come, we have a date scheduled for our CD Release Party (sort of... It will be in November)! Check out the calendar page and take note. More info to come.

Coming soon.....

2007-08-23T15:49:00.000-04:00

A brand new website design is almost done and will be debuting in the coming weeks. It should make for a very convenient and pleasing experience for those checking us out.

The website is just one of many new things we're coming very close to unleashing. Be sure to keep your hand close to the tracks because the train is a-comin'!

Myspace Redesign / Accident is Released

2007-07-02T16:57:00.000-04:00

Radio Mention & Reminders

2006-08-13T21:34:00.001-04:00

If you happened to be listening to The Kidd Chris Show on 8/4/06 at about 6pm, you would have heard Coz call in and stumble over his words as he is caught off-guard when guest-comedian Geno Bisconte tried to give him an opportunity to plug the upcoming show. If you missed it, you can click here to listen. (much thanks to Sugewhite for providing the audio and Geno for thinking of us)

Which reminds me... to remind you... THIS THURSDAY is the show! Come on. You know you can't miss this one. Be at Rex's by 9pm.

We'd also like to assure you that we will be recording our EP over the next few weekends. There will be approximately 5 songs recorded so keep your ears peeled (but don't let yourself get an infection). We'll have some up here and on Myspace as soon as we can.
