Cirque du So What? to debut “Stupid Cowboy Thing – Volume 2: Additional Squid” at MarsCon 2012!
Jan 30th
Holy crap, we here at Cirque du So What are really bad at keeping this website up to date with our activities. Here’s what we’ve been up to:
- We released “Stupid Cowboy Thing – Volume 1: GRANDMOTHER!” back in August 2011. It can be purchased at the FuMP Store.
- 4 tracks from “GRANDMOTHER” were posted at the FuMP, you can hear them all for free and purchase them at our FuMP page.
- One of those tracks, “Elevator” was #22 on Dr. Demento’s Funny 25 of 2011.
- On The Mad Music Dementia Top 50 of 2011, “Elevator” was #15, “Group Dynamic Meeting (One More Stupid Day)” was #18, and “200 Minutes of Free Prayer Time” was #20.
- We performed at Con on the Cob in Akron in October 2011, where ShoEboX won an award for a song about his scrotum.
Currently, we are on the verge of releasing our 3rd album, the second part of our second recording weekend sessions, “Stupid Cowboy Thing – Volume 2: Additional Squid”. We’ll be releasing it at MarsCon 2012 in the Twin Cities, March 9-11, 2012. All 4 of us will be performing there individually, and as Cirque du So What? Details can be found at MarsCon.com and MarsConDementia.com. The MarsCon 2012 Dementia Track Fund Raiser album features live CdSW sketches from MarsCon 2011 that were not on the SCTv1 Pre-order album. So you bring the Shasta, and we’ll bring the Superhorse to MarsCon 2012!

CIRQUE DU SO WHAT?’S NEW ALBUM,
“STUPID COWBOY THING – VOLUME 1: GRANDMOTHER!”
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER, WITH BONUS ALBUM!
Cirque do So What, the sketch comedy super group made up of Devo Spice, the great Luke Ski, Shoebox of Worm Quartet, and Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad, returns with their second album which is so packed full of comedy, insanity, and profanity, that it had to be broken up into two albums.
Stupid Cowboy Thing, Volume 1: GRANDMOTHER! features an hour of hilarious sketches, phony commercials, and bizarre music. The Guess The Context series continues unashamedly, and of course there are appearances by The Tile Guy. There’s also a really inappropriate song that you will find yourself singing at all the wrong times because it will get stuck in your head and will surface and the most inopportune times.
This album also heavily features Carrie Dahlby, Kim Crist, and Sara Trice, and also features a cameo appearance by the lads of Flat 29.
Stupid Cowboy Thing, Volume 1: GRANDMOTHER! is now available as a pre-order. If you pre-order the CD now you will receive the digital version of the album immediately so you don’t have to wait to hear it. Additionally, you will receive a special digital bonus CD with another 40 minutes of sketches, live performance recordings, and outtakes. Once the physical CD of Stupid Cowboy Thing ships the bonus material will no longer be available, so order now!

Jul 5th
On June 25th, 2011, Devo Spice, Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad, and the great Luke Ski along with Carrie Dahlby journeyed to Rochester, NY to the home of ShoEboX of Worm Quartet so they could record about 40 more sketches. Once Chris finishes producing them, we’ll be relelasing the second album by Cirque du So What?, accidentally titled "STUPID COWBOY THING". There will be bonus CD of extra material available to those who pre-order the album, visit http://cirquedusowhat.net for forthcoming details. And yes, there will be tile.

Looking For Things: An Amazing New System
Jul 6th
Sometimes you just can’t find stuff. Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb! But that aside, Cirque du So What offers up An Amazing New System for finding stuff – it’s called Looking For Things! Luke Ski parlays his real-life frustrations into yet another irresistible thing we must all partake in!! This is from the “Procrastinators of the Apocalypse” sessions and features Sara “Dement1a” Trice as the hapless looker-for-things who Sees The Light, Devo Spice as “Tim” [which means that ShoEboX is here in spirit], Luke Ski as himself in full infomercial glory, and Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad as the usual TV announcer. Check out more of the group and pick up CDs and T-shirts at http://www.cirquedusowhat.net or http://www.baconnipples.com. OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Hear Looking For Things now on The FuMP.

Luke Ski here. When I was a lad, I had a Commodore 128 plus, for which I bought and played many floppy disc video games. One of them was “The Three Stooges”, a series of mini games where you raise money to save an oprhanage. In one of the mini-games, you could be Moe and slap around Larry and Curly like they do in the classic short films. As the years went on, and game franchises like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, the Marvel vs. Capcom crossovers, and the like grew in popularity and technical refinement, I always felt that there needed to be a current-tech follow up to that old mini-game, taken to it’s logical extremes. So I wrote this sketch with help from Devo, ShoEboX, and Chris in the hopes to kick-start it into its existence. So come on Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony! What are you waiting for? We already have an awesome butt-kickin’, eye-pokin’, face-slappin’ techno theme song for you by Alchav of Soggy Potato Chips, and this awesome video by Jered “Mr. Tuesday” Perez, so get to it!
