About the artist
Contortions
Hailing from the gritty streets of New York City, CONTORTIONS are not your average post-punk band. Led by the enigmatic James Chance, this group of musical misfits have been pushing boundaries and challenging conventions since the late 1970s. With their wild, unpredictable live shows and unconventional mix of punk, jazz, and funk influences, CONTORTIONS have carved out a unique sound that is all their own. Their debut album, "Buy," is a chaotic masterpiece that is equal parts exhilarating and exhausting to listen to. Like a musical contortionist, James Chance twists and turns his saxophone and vocals into shapes and sounds that defy classification. His frenetic energy and off-kilter stage presence make him a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the stage. CONTORTIONS may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take a walk on the wild side, their music is a thrilling and exhilarating experience. So put on your dancing shoes and get ready to contort your body to the infectious rhythms of CONTORTIONS. Trust us, you won't regret it.
