- Dig Circus was a Canadian alternative rock band in the 1990s. Although popular on the Queen Street West scene in Toronto, the band broke up in the mid-1990s without having achieved mainstream success. Ironically, several years after the band parted ways, its song "Wishing For a Sail" was chosen as the theme song for the Nickelodeon series Caitlin's Way. Following the band's breakup, members Dave MacKinnon and Brian Poirier briefly joined Ron Hawkins in the band Hummer, and subsequently launched their own band, The FemBots. Drummer Mark Hansen was a member of Hawkins' next project, Ron Hawkins and the Rusty Nails. Hawkins also referenced Dig Circus in a Lowest of the Low song, "That Song About Trees and Kites". Bass player James Julien was actively involved in the non-profit sector, leading tele-marketing and mailing campaigns for organizations such as Oxfam, Medicins Sans Frontieres & Greenpeace. James was both a co-founder and Senior Fundraising Consultant for Public Outreach, a professional fundraising consultancy that assists non-profit agencies in connecting with potential donors. He died on February 20, 2009, after suffering two strokes in Melbourne, Australia. Original drummer Dave Dreveny was set to release a solo electronic pop album only to have it sidelined due to overwhelming emotional issues. He went underground in early 2001 and was rumoured to be living in an abandoned subway stop in Toronto.
