This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Circus Mort''' was an American [[post-punk]] band from [[New York City]]. Formed in 1979, the band included future [[Swans (band)|Swans]] singer [[Michael Gira]] on vocals, guitarist Rick Oller, bassist [[Dan Braun]], [[Josh Braun]] on keyboards and Angelo Pudignano on drums. [[Jonathan Kane]], also of Swans, would become the third drummer for the group. The group recorded only one [[Extended play|EP]], a self-titled effort on Labor Records, before disbanding in 1981.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/circus-mort-mn0001229876 | title=Circus Mort | publisher=[[Allmusic]] | accessdate=February 27, 2014))</ref>

==History==
The first members of Circus Mort included Don Christensen on bass guitar. Before adopting the name Circus Mort the band was called Metal Envelope. Twin brothers Josh and [[Dan Braun]] joined in September 1979 on the recommendation of Christensen, followed by Pudignano who answered an advertisement in the ''[[Village Voice]]''. The band recorded two songs at Sorcerer Sound Studios in late 1979, "Require Require" and "Working for Pleasure", which led to the interest of promoter Jim Fouratt. He hired the band to play at the rock disco [[Hurrah]] in February 1980, opening for Snatch.

Pudignano left the band, and was replaced by Mike Pedulla. The band gigged around New York throughout 1980 playing at various clubs. In late 1980, Pedulla announced that he was leaving the band, and Jonathan Kane took his place. Shortly after, the band landed a [[recording contract]] with the newly formed Labor Records. The band recorded [[demo (music)|demos]] of two songs, "Children Remember" and "Yellow Light" at Sorcerer Sound to prepare for a forthcoming [[extended play|EP]]. Producer Peter Ivers oversaw the recording of further tracks at Minot Sound in [[White Plains, New York]].

Their first [[concert]] after the recording was supporting [[Bauhaus (band)|Bauhaus]] in early 1981 which was recorded on video but has never been released. The band's final performance was in Boston, with [[The Neats]], before disbanding thereafter.

Gira, with Kane, later went on to form [[Swans (band)|Swans]]. [[Dan Braun]] also joined Swans for a short period, and recorded live with them at [[CBGB]], which was released as ''[[Body to Body, Job to Job]]''. Kane went on to play with [[Rhys Chatham]] and [[La Monte Young]]. Gira later formed [[The Angels of Light]], and was the founder of [[Young God Records]].
