Biography
Circus Lupus was among the many intelligent, brutal punk and punk-inspired groupings signed to Washington’s legendary Dischord label. Ironically, though, the music group primarily got its begin in Madison, WI, where vocalist Chris Thomson got arrived at from D.C. to wait university. There he fulfilled drummer Arika Casebolt, guitarist Chris Hamley, and bassist Reg Schrader, launching an initial one and doing different travels. A relocation to Washington was along with a change in bassists, with Seth Lorinczi overtaking that place. The resultant lineup documented two albums, 1991’s Super Genius and 1993’s Solid Brass, combined with the Joan Jett-produced “Pop Man” one and some various other paths before splintering thereafter. Hamley and Thomson trapped together, though, heading on to type the Monorchid some years afterwards.
