Mr. Abgedreht alias DEVIN TOWNSEND hat sich nach vier mehr als erfolgreich absolvierten Londoner Konzerten der Reihe “The Devin Townsend Project Albumshows” zu den Alben "Ki", "Addicted", "Deconstruction" und "Ghost" für den 27.10.2012 mit der "The Retinal Circus"-Show etwas ganz Spezielles ausgedacht.

Das Ganze soll noch viel größer (u.a. mit vielen hochkarätigen Gästen) und damit die eigentlich größte Show werden, die er jemals gemacht hat.



Er selbst erklärt den Gig wie folgt:



"This last weeks were probably THE defining moment in my life, let alone my career in many ways. I've had some intense gigs and experiences in music before, but all pale in comparison to the 4 sold out shows in London where we played all four DTP records, with four different bands, night after night.

Everyone worked incredibly hard, and each of us gave 100% to pull it off, bands, players, management, label, and audience. It was awesome!



So here's the next big gig: Next October 27th, at the amazing Roundhouse in London, We're putting on the most definitive 'Devin' show to date. A culmination of my ENTIRE career with a star line up and full supporting cast.



The show is being called 'The Retinal Circus', (named after an old Vancouver club in the 60's, famous for psychedelic rock shows) and will be more than just a musical performance… there will be an art exhibition, actors, Ziltoid, stilt walkers, fire breathers…you name it. My goal has always been to make SHOWS, and this is the first opportunity I have been given to do a high-end production that puts it all together! It's the closest Saturday to Halloween, and the goal is to make something amazing that we can all enjoy…details to come…psychedelic!



My career has been full of amazing musicians, and there will be plenty of them present at this show, and I'll be playing music that has never been attempted due to the size of the songs and the need for certain things.

It will be recorded for a DVD of course, and it's going to be a pretty intense experience… we have a year to make it perfect, so I just wanted to give you some hints! The VIP package will be available with special goodies among other exclusive things.

Anyways, I'm back to work here…I hope to see you there, I'm beyond excited to have this opportunity, we're not taking it lightly!
