Cousin / Grandma: The Video


Packed with our beloved mutant pram kit, giant millipedes (on people's faces) baby scorpions tickling Mickey Bone's nose, confusing chameleon love declarations, megaphone ranting, and many other amazing creepy slithering juddering things; we proudly present our new video.

We hope you like it... the next two are already being plotted in neurons & hard drives as I type...

Cousin / Grandma was originally inspired by Susie Showers..she approached me one day, all clapping clicking and bobbing and smiling.  Swiftly after hearing her do this it was regurgitated & composed by DD Window, Squier Squier and Perhaps Contraption.
When I first heard her do this (way back in April 2010) I would have never thought it would come to this. But that's the joy of making art.

You have to massage ideas into reality before they evaporate.

Filmed and edited by Jasmine Robinson.
Costumes by Am Statik.
Artistic Direction by Felicity, Jasmine & Squier.
With thanks to The Premises Studios, Tim, Jeffery the Chameleon & Friends, and all the other people who made this possible.

New songs, new costumes

All Perhaptions wishing you a prosperous 2012...

Cousin / Grandma


Our next single will be released on 11th February 2012 as a download, alongside a limited run of posters containing the single artwork. Each poster will feature a unique, hand drawn embellishment by the artist, Squier Squier.

The launch party takes place at an amazing cosy venue on Saturday 11th February 2012 at the Servant Jazz Quarters,  10a Bradbury Street, Dalston, N16 8JN from 20:00. 
The nearest overground is Dalston Kingsland / Junction and is also served by loads of buses. This day also happen's to be Squier's birthday so wear a tie.


Support comes from the incredible Goodbye Leopold; lush, ethereal, 3 part accapella and choreography. Very special indeed.


More acts TBC.

Geoff the Chameleon will also be there. Yes, a real live chameleon!
We will also be projecting things, including the amazing new video for the single; which includes a psychedelic insect menagerie! Gasp indeed. Millipedes and Domino Beetles ahoy,

Previews for the single & video are coming very soon....


Happy nish nish from all the Pertraptions. xxx
