Big Dipper is the first release of Danish tundra rock outfit The Hoodlum Circus.

Big Dipper

The Hoodlum Circus is the result of a sharpened focus for the band members of former desert rock outfit Los Illuminados – a group which garnered positive response (including getting an EP named "demo of the month" in Danish national music magazine GAFFA) in the wake of its relatively few shows and releases.
The Hoodlum Circus consists of four guys with different musical backgrounds, coming together in forming a sound that is both crooked and straight-forward, balancing between tight grooves and a good fair amount of dirt.

Originally formed as a duo by Bo Persson and Mathias Pedersen Smidt and going through various live constellations through a couple of years, The Hoodlum Circus was formally established as a four-piece band in 2013 with the inclusion of drummer Malte Aarup-Sørensen and guitarist Kristian Sloth Kristensen. Around the same time, the band retreated to the rehearsal space to work on new material and thinking out a fresh approach to the concept, hence - among other things - the new name The Hoodlum Circus. Now, with the release of Big Dipper, The Hoodlum Circus is ready for what will be an eventful 2014.
Line-up:
Mathias Pedersen Smidt - vocals & guitars
Bo Persson - bass
Kristian Sloth Kristensen - guitars & vocals
Malte Aarup-Sørensen - drums & percussion
