The long time collaborators behind Fluff, Pianissimo and Decent Spinster are making a return, but this time assembled as a band.

Introducing RRAMP… A tall, lonesome lady-of-the-house lives with the collections and memories that she stores in jars in the rooms of her big house. She has procured two unsuspecting members to join her band. Featuring Christine Johnston as the Collector, Lisa O’Neill as the dancing Archivist, her much shorter personal assistant, and Peter Nelson as the Electrocrat.
Exquisitely animated by Ahmarnya Price, RRAMP is an electronica dance metal rock set reflecting on unexpected and compelling stories of archives, collections, pets, childhood imaginings and human frailty. Selections – collections – recollections… Sharp as ice and bittersweet.
“These artists talent for trail-blazing their way across the bone-littered landscape of performance art, hacking through mediocrity with their own particular brand of brilliance seems endless.” Carol Lloyd
“When they team up and begin a new work such as RRAMP – the community always knows there is something very special, quirky and honed coming… No one wanted the show to finish – it rolled with power from its outset – at times as sharp as ice – with riffingly macho guitar lines, stridently accentuated performance moves and acutely rendered ‘now, today’ look graphics…“
