(c’93-’96) Paul Morris (vocals / guitar), Ady Evans (bass), John Metcalfe (drums).
Metcalfe and Evans had both been in Blue Velvet before The Perfect Circles. This Farnham 3-piece released the demo cassette “Suburban Overtones” late in ’93. They recorded the 4 tracks at Raven Studios, Camberley over the 4-7 September with additional help from Jon O’Neill (keyboards).
1994 appears to have been a quiet spell, but then the Bliss Aquamarine label picks up “Cryin’ Out for Love” and “So Much to Me” for the Sapphire compilation cassette LP [BLISS 020] in ’95; followed shortly by an appearance on Bluefire Records Snakebite City Three [BLU06] with “Fallen Hero” and Farnborough Groove Vol.5 with “Don’t Let Me Down”. While the band gigged regularly, we have only found a few listings to date: On 18 February ’95 the band were at the West End Centre, Aldershot. A few days later, on 23 February, they appeared at South Hill Park, Bracknell. Then towards the end of the year, on 7 October ’95, the band performed at The New Inn, Basingstoke.
Both Bluefire Records and Farnborough Groove bought The Perfect Circles back in ’96’ with “Cryin’ Out for Love” appearing in Snakebite City Four and “Rainchaser” appearing on Farnborough Groove Vol.6.
Both Morris, who’d also previously been in West One, and Evans joined with Graham Judd of Toys in the Attic to form Modern Art Thieves.
