Perhaps Contraption

Perhaps Contraption is an ever-evolving, genre-bridging musical performance collective.
Our output currently falls into 3 main areas:
The Mobile Device –
A Radical Art-Marching Band; a roving lung & percussion-powered assault. Regurgitating swing & deeply danceable wonky pop; songs are peppered with jubilant horns, choral vocals & Dada-fuelled theatricals.
Rock in Opposition –
Meticulously ma-thematic avant-rock, psychedelic excursions & ferocious free improvisation. Drawing upon Fluxus & Maximalism; this spontaneous musical tentacle is infused with the humour & tragedy of today's detritus.
Anti-Folk? –
Finger-picked guitar, gentle / absurd confessions, weaved woodwind…
Live performances are often peddled by Squier Squier & Susie Showers; combining comedy, poetry and multi-instrumental intricacies. From a manifesto for the sandwich to questions about your orgasms; intimate warblings and whiffs of English whimsy are abound.
