The Story: Three Chord Circus is a new band fronted by songwriter/guitarist Jim Hewitt. In a former life Jim co-founded the band Last Gentlemen in Champaign, IL with friends Brian Leach (Sugarbuzz, Autoliner, The Great Crusades) and Michael Roux. Last Gentlemen developed a large local following and released a series of highly successful independent albums followed by one not-so successful major label effort (TheWorldBehindYourBack - ZOO/BMG)*.
Fast forward to 2002: with a stockpile of songs and a desire to play again Jim begins an on-again/off-again search for local musicians to bring his songs to life. The journey is frustrating and unfruitful until it heads back to the START!... a call to old friends and a former band mate.
The Band: While Hewitt handles the guitars, vocals and occasional keyboards former Last Gentlemen band mate and sought after session musician Tommy Garza plays drums. Long time contributor/collaborator Mike Mooney plays bass and provides his technical expertise during the recording process. In breaks from supporting his brother's band (OTEP/Capitol Records) Kevin McGuire covers keyboards and shares backing vocals duties with Londoner John Wedge.
The CD: The limited edition START! CD/EP (Revolution-Network) is where it all begins. Recorded in Champaign and Chicago the three song START! CD is the first release by Three Chord Circus and offers a taste of what to expect from their upcoming full length release Internationally Unsigned due later this year.
*Former label mates Tool and Matthew Sweet fared much better. - credits

I
I wanted to say
I’ll do it my way
But you
You just can’t seem
To believe in me
You can try but you can’t change me
My sidekick Kato will kick your ass
If you try
You can try but you won’t make me
I’ll do my own thing
It’s do or die
We
We just can’t see
Eye to eye
And I
I just can’t see
A reason to try
You can try but you can’t change me
My sidekick Kato will kick your ass
If you try
You can try but you won’t make me
I’ll do my own thing
I’m saying goodbye - Track Name: Never Be The Same
-
I’ve got to get over
This weight that pulls me down
The worlds on my shoulder
But I’ve got to carry on
Never Be the Same
Now that everything’s changed
Never be the same
Never be the same
I’ve got to remember
The way that I felt
Before I felt so unsure
Before everything fell
Never Be the Same
Now that everything’s changed
Never be the same
Never be the same
The worlds turned around
Everything’s gone crazy
My worlds upside down
I’m numbed in amazement
But a new day will dawn
Say goodbye to the sameness
We’ve got to move on
And say hello to the strangeness
Never Be the Same
Now that everything’s changed
Never be the same
Never be the same - Track Name: My World Is Revolving (but not around you)
-
I've spent my whole life
Trying to please you
Who would ever think
It could be so hard
Only ever wanted to hear Okay
All right, good job
I spent my whole life
Trying to reach you
Hoping you could
Lend a hand
Took me too long to learn and understand
I was never ever in your plans
You see life
So unlike I do
My world is revolving
But not around you
I spent my whole life
Trying to read you
Who would ever think
It could be so hard
Only ever wanted to find the key
But the mystery remains unsolved
Why do you see life
So unlike I do
My world is revolving
But not around you
