About The Band

Hello. This page is for a band called The Contortionists: 4 Englishmen and 1 Aussie gal too smart to sit back and do nothing, & smart enough to know anything they ever do will be utterly neutered in a few short years time by the very fickle nature of the rabid novelty-hugging music fan minorities who will undoubtedly profess undying devotion to them. Yeah.

The musick is thusly shrill, dense, seething / And then also floats, graceful, gorgeousness. "N" - "O" spells "no" to retro-filth. This is eating out your dripping wet consciousness; a grossly spiritual excercise... Enjoy The Contortionists, girls and boys!

1st track from The Contortionists debut opus "The Stomcah-Pump Blues" is concerned mostly with the creative muse, madness, farmed neuroses, Steven Speilberg's greatest hits. Shit like that.
