“…a beautifully eccentric melding of classical myth, folksy tunes, and story-telling talent.”
Myth, music and maniacal space pirates! The Mechanisms were a crew of immortal sci-fi bandits: hyper-violent troubadours singing tales of love, death and the occasional star war. A collaborative storytelling musical act writing and performing modern reinterpretations of folk tunes and myths, the Mechanisms were active between 2010 and their final show Death to the Mechanisms in January 2021 and produced four full-length albums with myself as the head writer and frontman, as well as four compliation/live albums.
