Dig Circus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dig Circus was a Canadian alternative rock band in the 1990s. Although they were popular on the Queen Street West scene in Toronto, the band broke up in the mid-1990s without having achieved mainstream success. Ironically, several years after the band parted ways, their song "Wishing On a Sail" was chosen as the theme song for the Nickelodeon series Caitlin's Way.
Following the band's breakup, members Dave MacKinnon and Brian Poirier briefly joined Ron Hawkins in the band Hummer, and subsequently launched their own band, The FemBots.
Drummer Mark Hansen was a member of Hawkins' next project, Ron Hawkins and the Rusty Nails. Hawkins also referenced Dig Circus in a Lowest of the Low song, "That Song About Trees and Kites".
