About Me |
|
| The Cosmic Sausages appear as a colourfully dressed folk band and armed only with acoustic instruments (accordian, mandolin, guitar and double bass) they ambush their audience with a sustained barrage of pop classics, mixing theatre, circus, competitions, crowd participation and impromptu walkabouts - occasionally dipping into a large case of 'props'. Based in London (England) and with a repertoire of hundreds of songs, melodies and theme tunes, the Cosmic Sausages take their audience on a madcap musical tour of the world, meeting up with James Bond, Swedish folksingers, Eastenders, deranged cowboys, Cossacks and overacting popstars along the way. The 'Sausages' developed their unique show during an epic 5-month European tour taking in 12 countries and performing their streetshows over 250 times. They've appeared at loads of Street Theatre and Music Festivals in places such as Ferrara, Neuchatel, Bern, Castellaro and Thonon, as well as winter tours of the ski resorts including Chamonix, St Moritz, Meribel, Lenzeheide, Val d'Isere and Chateau Doex. Back home in England, the Sausages are at it all the time! Festivals include the legendary Glastonbury (8+ times!) and they have also found themselves imbedded in local folklore in many towns where they have become street performance legends! The Sausages have played hundreds of parties and weddings etc. and toured the West of England early in 2006, doing shows in village halls... They have played in a wide variety of locations from the large (Earls Court and Knebworth) to the small (Garden Fetes a speciality). They have performed at the National Theatre and appeared in Pantomime at 'Circus Crimbo' at Blackheath Concert Halls South London in 2000. They've performed on trains and boats and up mountains too. Despite all this acclaim, they never forget their roots and regularly play in the gutter... Recordings: The Sausages have recorded 2 cassettes (remember them?): 'The Cosmic Sausages' and 'Down the Shops' (quite rare) and 2 CD's: 'A Fistful of Sausages' (1999) and 'Great Hits' (2002) (available on their website), The Cosmic Sausages at Ferrara 2007 Add to My Profile | More Videos Get this video and more at MySpace.com .. |

Music:Member Since: 4/18/2006Band Website: cosmicsausages.com Band Members: Influences: Sounds Like: We play a mixture of tunes from Bob the builder to the Sex Pistols and everything in the middle, theres one tune from every country in the world but normally if anyone has a special song that moves their heart we think its only polite to attempt it. We do often pass around our a la carte menu which contains over 250 songs and tunes of all types and styles and let the audience decide where we go, its often a lot easier than deciding ourselves. We like to butcher songs from all our favourite artistes, amoung those that have had the treatment are:- Britney, Kylie, Radiohead, The Sex Pistols, Chris De Burgh, James Brown, The Bee Gee's, Prince, Rolf Harris, Robbie Williams, Oasis, Sir Cliff Richard, Westlife, Elvis, Gloria Gaynor, Dolly Parton, The Spice Girls, Queen, Madonna, Abba, Jimmy Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys and many more. We ham theme tunes including:- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Bond, The Good, the Bad and the ugly, The GodFather, Rocky, Star Trek, Withnail & I, Hawaii 5-0, Rawhide, we sing songs in many different languages mainly English but also Swedish, French, German, Italian, Portugese and Scottish! There's kids songs, songs for the old dears, Cockney knees ups, Irish jigs and Reels, plenty of Russian tunes from Vladimir Stroynetski on accordion, a bit of Bach, Mozart and A Bocherini, French Waltzes, Argentinian Tangos, Hungarian Dances, Brazilian Bossas, our Django stuff is coming and we mustn't forget the Okey Kokey. Its murder writing a set list. Record Label: Wickham Wax Type of Label: Indie |
