Battle Circus is a progressive rock band from Auckland, New Zealand. The band, formed in 2005, consists of members Marcel Bellve (Vocals, Guitar), Yvonne Wu (Piano, Keyboards), Ryan Marshall (Bass), and Tory "Jester" Staples (Drums). Staples replaced former drummer James Whitlock in August, 2008. Battle Circus' music is dark, heavy, and grandiose, spanning the gamut of genres from psychedelic to punk cabaret.

Following the release of a series of singles, the band released their debut EP, "The Half-Light Symphony" in 2007 to critical acclaim. The release received a perfect five star review by premiere New Zealand entertainment publication New Groove Magazine. [cite web
