Circle Theorem
December 1994 - January 1996
Rising from the ashes of Neophyte's Serendipity, Circle Theorem was on the Humpin' In The Back Room Music label and consisted of Vince Moya on bass, Chris Betelemjemski on Drums, and Ryan Korczak on guitar. Their first show was January 7th 1995 at Dave's Garage in Brantford. Unfortunately they didn't get a chance to play the show since it was shut down early from noise complaints. They only had a sound check which there was some people hanging around to see.
They went on to play a few more shows after that. Shortly before the bands demise they teamed up with Vince's brother Vic without Ryan to form The Booger Band With Vic Moya (which was the proto form of Curtis Mathis) That was December 15th 1995. When Ryan dropped out of the band sometime after their last show, which was December 29th 1995. Many songs were dropped and they continued on with Vic.

Love Forever
by Vince Moya
Breaking up is hard to do.
Argh. The first half of '96 was plagued with them. Love was just not in the air for anyone. I saw and became a victim of that annoying human ritual. Face it everyone... Breaking up sucks shit. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth because of the things you have to say to either get rid of or save the person you're with. Then once the deed is over, the mourning period is dark enough to make someone go pale white, wear black clothes, and listen to nothing but Nine Inch Nails while frolicking in depression along with Trent Reznor. Christ!
Well, everyone knows I broke up with my girlfriend who I went out with for a year plus. I won't even dwell on that, but the lesson I have goes for everyone. Communication is the key that opens up all doors. Every single one. Communicate and you can open up all the avenues in your relationship. Maybe the other person will open their heart out to you. The heart of communication should be everyone's priority to achieve, not the other person's crotch. That second part was not a mistake of mine, but the first part will stay with me for good. Thankfully I am involved with another one again, and I think this will last longer than ever, because I learned from my mistake. And yes, I'm in love again, and very happy.
Break-ups in relationships weren't the only break-ups that happened in the beginning of '96. Bands just disbanded like cheap glue on metal. Either someone got kicked out, or bands don't exist totally. Dianthus lost their drummer, the dazzling Paul Evans. Circle Theorem said good-bye to Ryan, which in turn said good-bye to the whole Circle Theorem bit. It had so much potential to be up there in punk rockdom. If you ask me, my reason for breaking up was that we didn't have time for the band at all (Chris and I were hot on the heels of tying up school work in order to move on) and soon enough, punk rock just got tiresome for us. It's really insane, the changes one can go through, over a certain period of time. Don't get me wrong, I still like punk, but tell me, how could you differentiate the Circle Theorem sound, let along the songs, from anything else? You can't. My point exactly. Our Fault. We're done for, and we'll leave it at that. I wish Ryan well in whatever he does. Another band that kinda broke up was the Blue Suede Gnus. I thought something was about to come out from the minds of Gen and Ania, but I guess it didn't pull through. Everyone was preoccupied with everything else, and again, that's understandable. Gen, Ania, if you still wanna play, I'm still willing.
I don't know. Somehow, '96 kinda started negatively for some people. I just hope the rest of the year isn't as bad. I know mine has already gotten better. Until next issue.
