Pigmy Love Circus
Pigmy Love Circus is a Los Angeles rock band that has existed since the mid 1980s era of the Hollywood underground rock scene.
Pigmy Love Circus originally consisted of Shepherd Stevenson on bass, Mike Savage on vocals, Anthony Martinez (of Black Flag) on drums, with Rand "Pig" Walters and Peter Fletcher on guitars. Danny Carey joined in 1992, but his tenure was cut short by his joining the progressive metal band Tool.
By 1995, Pigmy Love Circus disbanded. What was left of the band went their separate ways. Savage went on to form 57 Crown and Big Ugly, both being formidable bands in Hollywood. Stevenson now composes music for film. Fletcher moved to Denver. Rand "Pig" Walters disappeared.
In 1999, Fletcher returned to Los Angeles and the flame was rekindled when Carey demanded a reunion.
The band toured several times in the U.S. in 2002-2004 both alone and also opening for A Perfect Circle in the U.S. and Canada.
In 2012, Pigmy Love Circus played a Dog Patch Wino Reunion show at the Dragonfly in Los Angeles.

Reviews
The Times of India refers to the film as "A dash of Dil, a pinch of Saptapadi, sprinkled with the eloping sequence from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and a tad of the possessive SRK in Darr." The reviewer criticizes the "terribly illogical" story, the "poor" script, and the song lyrics which "hardly add any zing to the film."

Love Circus
by: The Gun ClubNow, is it uptown or downtown
why did you come down here?
we haven't seen the likes of your blonde hair
since we got the fear
Now, you don't need to be so violent
you don't need to be silent
you don't need to be so private
since you took the loss
It's a Love Circus
Now everyone's so sad in town
and it's a long way downtown
Now, is it yellow, black or brown, or white
why did you come down here
we haven't seen anyone dead like you
since a war was near
Now, you don't need that chipped shoulder
you don't need that business folder
you don't need to get any bolder
if it's business time,
Cause it's a Love Circus
Now, is it uptown or downtown
is it Chinatown or Funkytown
you got a price that is not so nice
you got demise written on your mind
and the heat they all know you
and the heat would like to catch you
and the heat always knew the crew was due
on you,
And it's a Love Circus
Now, everyone's so sad in town
and it's a long way downtown
