Devin describes the "Retinal Circus" as: "a retrospective of my career in music to date, with the central theme being a metaphor of how life and the adventures therein are a 'circus' of sorts. The show involves a cast of characters and guests that support this theme through carnival type performances. A story about how a troubled young man dreams of fantastic scenarios, (illustrated through the music of my back catalogue), which ultimately crests in the characters realization that life is all about the relationships we have with each other. This is the first opportunity I have been given to make theatrical representations of my music."

This three hour plus performance will include:

Devin Townsend wants to see YOUR animal instinct: listen to the NEW song "Lucky Animals" & be on DTP's next video!

Alpha-Animal Devin Townsend wants you to be in his NEW video clip for "Lucky Animals" off his upcoming album Epicloud (due out September 18th in North America). In order to become part of the video, all you have to do is become an  animal and film yourself, your friends or family while performing to "Lucky Animals." Be animalistic, be creative, be funny, be cute. But don't be cruel. Dress up like your favorite animal, if you like-- or film your own pet doing something funny (without hurting it or making it do something it doesn't like! Any video with cruel content will be declined!), do mammal stuff, play animal charade, use stuffed animals to tell a story, etc.

Visit www.luckyanimals.insideoutmusic.com to find all details and instructions, plus a short video from Devin!
