    Circus Contraption

    Good Day All -

    One thing leads to another! Especially filling this music affinity we share....

    I KNOW that some of you here, can appreciate this music in a similar DELIGHTED way that I did.

    Certainly speaks to some of my taste and interests of latter days!

    I saw these guys live a few times, never did pick up any of their music.

    They were a lot of fun live.

    So did I.

    They opened for Sleepytime once in Seattle.

    And a few years ago, a couple of them died: An armed, mentally ill guy walked into a bar where they were sitting, started shooting, and they fought him, which allowed several other patrons to escape.

    Yes.

    And to add in an odd prog connection, Joe Albanese - who was Circus Contraption's bass player and one of those who died - had been in a band years back with Thinking Plague's Elaine DiFalco.
