Fresh from Terminus Station (currently known as Atlanta, GA) the steampunk-themed and attired Extraordinary Contraptions blend motown-funk bass grooves with a driving guitar, chaotic drums, engagingly playful keys, and three part vocal harmonies to create their unstuck-in-space-time, steam-powered sound.
In their efforts to forge a steampunk rock movement, they employ neoclassic rock chops and a Victorian aesthetic to tell the stories of their otherworldly alter-egos. Their self-produced debut album, Inappropriate on Purpose, touches on universal themes before careening into pieces about malevolent alien invasions and failed mathematical romances. As the steampunk movement grows, The Extraordinary Contraptions offer their quirky, guitar-driven vision of this alternate reality.
In January 2009, the band was invited to become part of the worldwide steampunk musical collective Gilded Age Records, joining Vernian Process, The Clockwork Dolls, The Tenth Stage, Viral Millennium, Unextraordinary Gentlemen, Ghostfire, Jill Tracy, Mister Joe Black, and Revel Hotel.

New shows; bitten by the myspace bug
11 May 2010 | from blog.myspace.com/The Extraordinary Contraptions
Apparently there is a relatively new bug on myspace that only
allows us to invite one person at a time to an event.... we'd love
to personalize the invitations, but there are too many of you good
