'''The Beat Circus''' is a seven-piece [[Musical band|band]] from [[Boston]] that formed in [[2002]], made up of [[trumpeter]] [[Brian Carpenter]], [[accordionist]] [[Alec K Redfearn]], [[saxophonist]] Jim Hobbs, [[banjoist]] Brandon Seabrook, [[tubist]] [[Ron Caswell]], [[violinist]] Kaethe Hostetter, and [[drummer]] Matt McLaren. They describe their style as "[[Federico Fellini|Fellini-esque]] [[cabaret]]". Their music shifts between [[burlesque]] [[Americana]] [[circus music]] and dark [[progressive]] music inspired by [[gypsy]] music and [[Weimer]]-era [[cabaret]] composed by [[Brian Carpenter]] and [[Alec K Redfearn]].

The band formed shortly after Brian Carpenter moved to the Boston area and began casting for strong personalities. Shortly after [[Amanda Palmer]] ([[Dresden Dolls]]) discovered them and booked them at her loft space, they began to find a loyal [[following]] through the efforts of their energetic live performances and collaborations. During these performances the band often collaborates with many of the [[neo-vaudeville]] community, including burlesque dancers such as [[Miss Dirty Martini]] and circus performers such as [[Tyler Fyre]]. The Beat Circus has written compositions specifically for live performances with many of these performers.

They gained wider attention after a performance at the [[2005]] [[Coney Island]] [[Mermaid Parade]] Ball.

Their first cd ''Ringleader's Revolt'' was released by [[Innova Records]] in 2004. In 2005 they recorded [[cartoon]] music for [[animator]] [[Lorelei Pepi]] which is slated for release in early 2006.
