Bestival Show Times
Perhaps Contraption are off for our penultimate festival appearance this season, yes, the mighty Bestival looms...
We will be performing on the Alfresco Stage, in true acoustic, open-topped style at the following moments:
Sunday 11th: 13.15 - 13.55 and 17.40 - 18.00
We will also be lurching around the fields, playing in the depths of the night should minimal moisture permit.
Hopefully we will see you there, covered in glitter, singing your gaping lung-bags out, with feathers & flags fluttering atop.

Susie Showers Sets Sail...
On Tuesday 30th August long-term collaborator, questionnaire mastermind, uke-twanger and poet-extroadinaire Susie Showers ventured into the Premises Studios to record a few songs with myself.
This was in preparation for our as yet untitled album; which will be a mixture of Susie's poems & the songs we have been performing as a 2 piece incarnation, out and about for the past couple o' years; most notably all over the playa at last year's Burning Man.
I'm glad to say two songs were completed.
A new one titled "Orgasm" & another named "Come out Green" which is an acoustic reworking of Sludge & Tripe's closing track.
Susie then continued to blast the rest of her material through my bedroom recording setup, most of it immaculately performed live in one take.
And so, an album is taking shape nicely; we expect to be completing it by the end of Winter this year.
I'm sad to say Susie has now fled the UK for the green pastures of Thailand; where she will be teaching English, writing excellent children's books and persuing her love of puppetry. She will return sometime in the next few years, ripe with ideas and songs where we will meld her smoothly back into this wobbly beautiful device known as Perhaps Contraption...
We love her dearly and wish her well.
In the meantime you can hear some of her other works here: http://www.myspace.com/susieis
