Quirky-jerky, loony-croony, gypsy carnival opera music. Tom Waits meets the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Danny Elfman meets Squirrel Nut Zippers? Listen to this glorious tangle of sounds and decide for yourself.
Bio / Background
Circus Contraption is an honest-to-goodness, one-ring travelling circus based in Seattle, Washington. Music is an integral part of our show, and we work constantly toward blurring the lines between the musicians and physical performers in the creative process.
What do we sound like? Sometimes spooky, sometimes quirky, sometimes raucous, and sometimes just a bit silly. Imagine an off-kilter carousel accompanied by Halloween music gone slightly wrong. At any given moment, you'll hear vocals, accordion, banjo, guitar, bass, clarinet, violin, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, theremin, washboard, drums, beer bottles, rusty junk and elbow grease.
We have two other CDs, both available on CD Baby.
One is "Gallimaufry, " an EP of music from our 2002 show: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/circuscontraption2
The other is "Grand American Traveling Dime Museum," a full-length album with music from our newest show:

Interesting & EntertainingBizzworth wrote on February 05, 2009
This album is extremely unique & an interesting listen. Sounds like carnival, gypsy jazz. The pirate shanty "Down to the Devil You Go" & the celtic influenced "July Like a Dog" are my personal favs. Snatch this original sounding album up!
