Circus Mircus consists of four members, named as Ludwig Ramírez, Igor Von Lichtenstein, Bavonc Gevorkyan, and Iago Waitman.[3] According to Wiwibloggs, these names are pseudonyms.[4]
The band was supposedly formed at the end of 2020 in Tbilisi, when three local circus academy dropouts became friends and left the academy to start their own band. According to a member of the band, the three "weren't good enough, [we were] probably the worst in the crew, [and] that's why we became friends."[2]
On 14 November 2021, it was announced that the group had been internally chosen by Georgian Public Broadcasting to represent the country in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.[2] Their competing song "Lock Me In" was released on 9 March 2022.[5] They performed 5th in the second semi final, and came 18th (last) with 22 points; 13 from the professional juries and 9 from the televote, failing to qualify for the grand final.
Their song "Weather Support" was nominated for an Electronauts Award in the category of "Best Music Video".
