Hey friends! I here to share with you something amazing that happened with my band Cirse. The band Paramore choose us to open their show in Argentina! This means that we are going to play for the biggest crowd ever (for us! )... around 7000 persons in a very important stadium called Luna Park... where bands like Megadeth, Dream Theater, Whitesnake, Scorpions, Deftones, Incubus and many more use to play.
We are very anxious for this show!

The show is on 24th February (just 6 days!)

Check this Megadeth video at the luna park stadium!

Ok fingers crossed they'll take you with them on future touring! (Dont feel any pressure to perform well) This is just incredible! Sounds like it could be a game changer for Cirse.

This is so amazing Gabriel and I am so happy you guys are getting the recognition you deserve!! And like Kris I hope they take you with them as well... remember that promise of backstage passes for Canadian dates

But in all seriousness this just proves how amazing Cirse music is and a testament to all your hard work. I will be cheering you on in spirit Thursday and only wish I could be there in person for your big show.

CIRSE!! \m/-_-\m/

That is awesome Gabriel, I'm very happy about your success! I'm sure it was awesome, and great boost for the band. Thumbs up man! How did it went?

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Feb 26 2011, 02:30 AM

I have no words to describe the yesterday's show! I'll try to relate the day here.

We arrived to the Stadium at 15:30, we had to arrive at 16:30 but we were very anxious!! hahaha. When the security and asistants saw us, they opened the doors and helped with the equipment. We get into the stadium and we found that the stage was ready for Paramore's sound check. Some minutes later all the band appeared to do the soundcheck. I was so happy of seeing them there and also to meet Josh Freese, my favourite drummer.
Their sound check took around 30 minutes (or maybe less). After that our assistants and technicians prepared all our equipment over the stage and when everything was ready we started the sound check. It took around 30 minutes and then we went to the backstage.
At 19:50 we were ready and at 20:00 all the lights turn off and people started to shout! It was time for our show. We've never played for that quantity of people (7800 persons) so I didn't imagine what does it feel. It's so amazing and emotive to be there! There was people that knew us but there was a lot of people that was seeing us for the first time.

We played 8 songs and everything was perfect, we didn't have any problem over the stage and the audience seemed to really enjoy our show!
It has been one of the best moments in my whole life!

This has been the first song! Check it out! I think that we'll have better quality videos soon.


These are the last two songs:
