After seven years of outlandish local performance… Read Full Bio ↴A DARK MENACING WORLD!
After seven years of outlandish local performances, Bozo Porno Circus (BPC) broke onto the scene in 1998 with an award winning self produced CD entitled ~Cybersmut and a no holds barred live show featuring the PornStarzz- sexy fetish performers who bring the sinister themes of BPC’s music to life. Dark and disturbing, ~Cybersmut portrays a menacing world, a cesspool of sex and violence set to a thunderous robotic dance-beat, slashing guitars and layers and layers of heart-pounding programming. BPC won the coveted "BEST INDUSTRIAL" title from both Houston newspapers that year, including a nomination for ALBUM OF THE YEAR for its "rock solid programming".
THE CIRCUS IS COMING!
~Cybersmut was sent to college radio, dance clubs, DJ’s and scenesters everywhere opening the door for shows across the country. The CD was serviced to Pittsburgh’s BPM record pool, whose DJ’s charted the bands remake of the Donna Summer disco classic "Hot Stuff". Another track "Skintaster" was selected for the Delinquent Records Compilation The Pink & the Black. BPC performed numerous thematic shows between 1999-2001, shows like "The Karnival of Sin", "Malice in Slumberland" and "Videodrome," leaving an indelible mark on their audiences. This earned the band repeat shows in markets like Chicago, Boston, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Miami and back-to-back performances at the prestigious NXNW Toronto Music festival and gained BPC a huge following. BPC now had a foothold in Canada, where they have toured 3 times since, performing in Montreal, Toronto and Oshawa. Word was spreading about the sexy boys in the band who wore makeup and leather, and the PornStarzz, the girls with power tools grinding metal and breathing fire. A BoZo show was more than a show - it was an event!
MONSTERS ARE REAL & MADE OF VINYL
Realizing their roots in nightclubs and their dance appeal, BPC records a 12-INCH record entitled Monsters are Real The mixes are basically raw tracks with no vocals, just a ferocious sample of the chorus from the yet to be released album version. But DJs fall in love with the sci-fi sound and the dancey 182 BPM extended version. "Monsters are Real" is serviced to 7 record pools and earns "pick-hit" status on Flamingo Record Promotions dance chart and charts for 24 weeks, while reaching #16 on MASSPOOL’S national dance chart. Pittsburgh’s BPM record pool also charts "Monsters are Real" for 16 weeks. In the meantime, BPC headlines events such as the Vampire Ball and FleshFest, and is asked to open shows for national acts like Motley Crue, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, The Genitorturers, Pigface and ohGr of Skinny Puppy.
TIME TO REGENERATE!
With their 12 INCH record "Monsters are Real" on the charts, BPC was stretching the limits of decency across two countries. This success, coupled with controversy over their shocking and overtly sexual videos appearing on the local access cable television station, landed them on the CBS local news in Houston. All this brings the band to the attention of Martin Atkins, industrial music icon and founder of Invisible Records, who signs BPC and ToneZone Records to his new label Underground Inc. gaining them their first major distribution deal in conjunction with Caroline Records. As well as appearing on the new "Notes From Thee Real Underground" compilation, they have just released in 2002 their follow-up album Regenerate.
Powerful and relentless in its intensity, Regenerate takes the listener into a shadowy world not fit for sanity but full of sin, where monsters walk among us and fairy tales are dangerous. From the opening beats of "Release the Kraken" it is clear that BPC is a band that has found it’s voice and make no apology for it. Like a sonic smoking gun "Exterminate" answers the crimes of a twisted society with "string them up hang them high if they kill they have to die." "Malice in Slumberland" and "Feel" are both beautiful and terrifying indictments of tortured minds gone awry. "Magic" and its beautifully evolving melody showcases the bands diversity. Chaotic and macabre, Bozo Porno Circus continues to push the envelope. It’s time to Regenerate!

Bozo Porno Circus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
OF MY FORMER SELF
LIVING IN DREAMS
YOU ALWAYS KNEW NOTHING ELSE
BUT NOW ITS DIFFERENT
HE'S SLIPPING THRU THE CRACKS
THE MONSTERS OUT FOR BLOOD
AND ITS NOTHING THAT I LACK
ITS NOT ABOUT, BUT ITS ALL YOUR FAULT
AND I'M DEAD WITHOUT YOU, BUT YOU DON'T REALLY CARE
THE OTHERS VISION
NOW I KNOW WHAT ITS ALL I FEAR
THE TASTE THAT'S ON MY LIPS
YOU LOVED THAT EVEN MORE
AND NOW YOU'RE WATCHING
THE WRECKAGE IN MY WAKE
RELEASE THE DEMONS
THAT'S ALL IT TAKES
I want to rape you then skin you alive
Satan told me how to cut you with the knife
When I see the look in your eyes
At the moment you realize
It's the end, now I am taking your life
You'll never know why
I'm the things that go bump in the night
The look in your eyes
I'm going to take you down to the ranch
No escape and no second chance
I'm gonna make your skin into pants
We're making snuff films at the xxx ranch
When I see the look in your eyes
You'll never know why
Strangle and cum my favorite high
The look in your eyes
And then I'll cum back for more
The lyrics to Bozo Porno Circus's song XXX convey a dark and twisted perspective on love, lust, and violence. The lines "floating thru memories of my former self" and "living in dreams you always knew, nothing else" suggest a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past relationship, while the following line "but now it's different, he's slipping thru the cracks" implies a change in the singer's mental state. The phrase "the monsters out for blood" suggests that the singer's inner demons have taken control, leading to feelings of anger, blame, and even violence. The final lines of the song, "strangle and cum my favorite high" and "I'll cum back for more" convey a sense of sadistic pleasure and a desire to inflict pain on others.

FLOATING THRU MEMORIES
Reflecting on past experiences
OF MY FORMER SELF
Reminiscing about who I used to be
LIVING IN DREAMS
Escaping reality through imagination
YOU ALWAYS KNEW… NOTHING ELSE
You were my only constant in a world of chaos
BUT NOW ITS DIFFERENT
Things have changed, and not for the better
HE'S SLIPPING THRU THE CRACKS
Losing control and slipping away
THE MONSTERS OUT FOR BLOOD
The demons that haunt me are becoming more powerful
AND ITS NOTHING… THAT I LACK
My demons are not caused by anything lacking within me
ITS NOT ABOUT, BUT ITS ALL YOUR FAULT
I blame you for my current state, even if it's not entirely your fault
AND I'M DEAD WITHOUT YOU, BUT YOU DON'T REALLY CARE
I need you to survive, but you don't care about me the same way
THE OTHERS VISION
The perspective of those around me
NOW I KNOW WHAT ITS ALL I FEAR
I now understand what truly scares me
THE TASTE THAT'S ON MY LIPS
The taste of something enjoyable but forbidden
YOU LOVED THAT EVEN MORE
You enjoyed the same forbidden taste as me
AND NOW YOU'RE WATCHING
You're watching me fall apart
THE WRECKAGE IN MY WAKE
The damage I'm leaving behind me
RELEASE THE DEMONS
Giving into my inner desires and urges
THAT'S ALL IT TAKES
Letting go is all it takes to satisfy my cravings
I WANT TO RAPE YOU THEN SKIN YOU ALIVE
Desiring complete control over someone and causing them harm
SATAN TOLD ME HOW TO CUT YOU WITH THE KNIFE
Giving into darker thoughts and influences
WHEN I SEE THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES
Seeing the fear in your eyes turns me on
AT THE MOMENT YOU REALIZE
Watching as you understand the danger you're in
IT'S THE END, NOW I AM TAKING YOUR LIFE
Taking pleasure in ending someone's life
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHY
You'll never know why I've done this to you
I'M THE THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT
Feeling empowered by causing fear and chaos
I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU DOWN TO THE RANCH
Taking you to a secluded place to cause harm to you
NO ESCAPE AND NO SECOND CHANCE
No way out and no possibility of survival
I'M GONNA MAKE YOUR SKIN INTO PANTS
Taking a trophy of your skin as a reminder of my power
WE'RE MAKING SNUFF FILMS AT THE XXX RANCH
Recording our violent acts as a form of entertainment
STRANGLE AND CUM MY FAVORITE HIGH
Feeling pleasure at the moment of death
AND THEN I'LL CUM BACK FOR MORE
Craving the thrill of causing harm and taking lives
