Circle Of Thieves

Circle Of Thieves began in early 2007 simply for the love of music. High School friends and founding members, Al and Pete, became reacquainted after many years and began writing material to express their unique musical visions for a new, yet incomplete and unnamed band. Realizing they were on to something they decided they were ready to take things to the next level and went in search to find the right dedicated musicians. Soon they got word of local guitar great, Ace... Al realized Ace's reputation had proceeded him. He was a fantastic musician and a perfect compliment to their chemistry and sound. The trio then began exploring, creating and writing new material. A vote was held among friends and band members to establish a name for the band. Thus, giving birth to the Circle Of Thieves...

With all the wheels in motion, the three members decided it was time to take things to the next level with the daunting task of finding the perfect Vocalist/Front man. After reviewing and auditioning many, the band was at a stand still...They were looking for a Vocalist with the right mix of looks, attitude, talent and an eye for originality. In walks Doug. By the end of the first practice the band had already written two new songs and instantly enlisted their new vocalist on the spot. Finally, they lineup was complete.

The band with their new vocalist locked themselves away for months relentlessly writing material and a quality set list... With each session, the songs became better, stronger and tighter.

Today, Circle of Thieves has a reputation for being one of the most hard working, reliable bands in the Tampa Bay area. The band has since broadened their horizons and is now playing out all across the state of Florida with plans of dominating the entire Florida music scene.

Since then,the band has been on a major rampage, playing shows all over Florida as a primier showcase band,supporting local and also national acts such as Hand to Hand, 12 Stones, Afterglow Radio, Pulse 8, Tragic Orange and X Thirtien. The Thieves have stolen a foothold with many of the major venues in the area. Venues such as Bourbon Street, State Theater, Boomerz and Gasoline Alley just to name a few. The band has played many venues across Tampa area and has always been invited back.

This upcoming year the group has great expectations on building the same reputation outside of the bay area. C.O.T. has already began booking shows for bike week in Daytona, 8th annual music fest in Deland, and many major rock venues scattered throughout FL.

J Rock and Patty the Radio Girl, nationally syndicated FM radio personalities {The Rock Solid Pressure Show} recently quoted, "We love the Circle of Thieves! Always a fun, energetic and kick ass show! We see great things on the horizon for this band!"

The band has just inked a deal to score a soundtrack for a larger than indie movie entitled "Memories of Murder". Memories of Murder is a thriller written by Sharon Whetstone and directed by Lewis Farinella for Faultline Productions/Universal. The release date is pending.

The group will begin planning stages for an east coast tour next summer but in the mean time if you want to book a show just contact the band and they will work out the details to make it happen.

Circle Of Thieves will strive to put on the best live show every night, and do it with a friendly and professional attitude that's not always seen in rock music today!
