Russian Circles is a three piece instrumental rock/metal band from Chicago. Similar to fellow Chicago residents Pelican, Russian Circles play epic, sprawling music which runs the gamut of heavy discordant metal, to soft delicate passages. They are also known for their energetic live shows, which include tours with Minus the Bear, Chin Up Chin Up, Coheed & Cambria, Mono, and Pelican as well as an appearance at the 2006 SXSW. [ [http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:abfrxqwsldse~T1 Biography] , Allmusic.com] . They were also the opening band for Tool while playing in the United Kingdom for their 2007 tour.

History

Formed in late 2004 by guitarist Mike Sullivan and bassist Colin DeKuiper (both formerly of another instrumental band Dakota/Dakota) they quickly recruited Dave Turncrantz, formerly of St. Louis band Riddle of Steel.

In the autumn of 2007, it was announced that the band had parted ways with Colin DeKuiper. As a result, the bass tracks on their new album, titled "Station," were handled by ex-Botch/These Arms Are Snakes bass player Brian Cook. [ [http://lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=9650] , Lambgoat.com]

When performing live, the band is noted for being able to replicate and even expand upon their recorded material through Sullivan and Cook / DeKuiper's use of sampling and loop pedals.
