From last.fm:
1. Are you playing? Dylan hasn’t played out in about 3 years. I think his last show was at The Walker or the Art Institute. 2. Are you planning to play again? Currently he doesn’t have any plans to play out, although there have been internal rumblings about wanting to do some sort of music again. 3. Is Dylan Hicks your real name? Someone did actually ask him this once, and he answered “No, Johnny Rocket was my real name, but I changed it to Dylan Hicks because it wasn’t rock and roll enough.” Read more about Dylan Hicks on Last.fm.

The Farewell Circuit
From Minneapolis
First show since since December 23, 2012 • First Mainroom show • 57th show on MN Live's calendar since April 15, 2007
From last.fm:
Nestled in the tropical paradise of Minneapolis, Minnesota where men are God's among mortals; The Farewell Circuit has found a solid foothold in the music world. Incessant self produced releases mark the quintet's constant transformation and evolution as a band and as real people discovering themselves in this labyrinth we call life. Their music has been showcased as immature pop-rock in its early stages and has more recently developed into a powerful-mature sound of catchy guitar melodies, soft piano lines, aggressive percussion all tied together with the graceful vocals of Danny O'Brien.
