Sounds Like	Hello. This page is for a band called The Contortionists. They are London-based. They are 3 Englishmen, 1 Aussie gal and 1 Pablo. They have successfully grappled with the thorny history of irony/learnt a few notes on ze geetar/enjoy spewing a toxic concoction of sarcasm and elitism through the medium of dissonant, squalling protest musik and clever-dick lyrics for achingly postmodern rubes and tricky bitches. Please enjoy the sounds of the gross saints of the protest scene, cocks! (Type "SUBSCRIBE" and email to band@contortionist-manifesto.com to be notified about all impending gigs. No spam. No way.)
Type of Label	Major
