The Babysitters Circus (TBC) is a four piece New Zealand Electronica/Bass and Funk/Groove freak show that was born when the quartet began throwing sounds and ideas together while babysitting for a friend.
It soon became apparent that what started out as simply a creative outlet for it's members was too good to keep hidden away and it just felt wrong to not give everyone the chance to shake their shaky bits to tracks oozing with infectious fleshy hooks.
Although relatively new to the music scene, TBC's members most certainly aren't.
Jason Kerrison has spent many years at the top of the NZ Music Scene with his band OPSHOP, enjoying not only commercial success, but also picking up numerous NZ Music Awards and the prestigious APRA Silver Scroll Award along the way.
Jamie Greenslade, better known as solo hip-hop artist Maitreya, is another Silver Scroll winner, taking away the APRA Maioha Silver Scroll Award in 2010.
Tim Skedden has enjoyed a long musical career, being a founding member of both The Feelers and also OPSHOP and while Tim has previously thrilled fans with his guitar playing, he is now stepping more into the limelight and unleashing his too long kept hidden song-writing and vocal talents.
Newcomer Selwyn Leaf completes the TBC line up. A natural entertainer, he brings a big top boom to each and every occasion and adds a soulful tone to the groups high energy performances.
TBC delivers a recorded and live experience that is as uplifting as it is refreshing and has now evolved into a fully fledged live act that has left crowds up and down the country eagerly awaiting the next time the Circus rolls back into town.
Maybe it's the songs, maybe it's the on stage chemistry, maybe it's the guy wearing face paint, maybe it's all of the above, maybe we'll never really know...

This song gets me so pumped and now we can get out of Auckland 2022 here we come newzealand let the good times roll keep our heads up night and charge on
I love this song and wanted to see you perform it for the Nederlanders but none of the visuals were in sync with the sound and the whole thing is made for adhd sufferers - flash-flash-flash-jump-jump
Great Kiwi song guys, I've really grown to like this tune immensely. I've heard it around the place, and at the rugby from time to time and never thought much about it. However, I was in the hairdressers this afternoon in Palmy and it came on. Then bang it hit me! I realized how much I dug the rhythm and the harmonies, and I was tapping my feet like a mad bastard. Sheesh, is the song this old man oh man time flies. Talk about a delayed appreciation response, but I'm glad I'm awake. P.S., love the costumes.
The single is from New Zealand. The album, which (to the best of my knowledge) was NOT released in New Zealand, but was released in the Netherlands (NOT Holland. Holland consists of 2 provinces within the Netherlands, North and South, a third province is called Zeeland, and it is where we get out name from, as the person who put New Zealand on the map was Dutchman Abel Tasman). Great song - I can do without the rap though.
I remember passing this! One of my favourite songs, I love New Zealand, My home. I love how creative and cool this is! It may be scripted with the starter join in dancers but It's such a cool thing to watch
