The Catastraphone Orchestra (2006–) might be one of the only bands of musicians that writes fiction together. A collection of chain-smokers, mad scientists, and drug-addled minds, they write in the long-antiquated “seasonal” style of fiction as well as penning manifestos and journalistic forays into the past.

Stories available online:

• “Mother of the Dispossessed” in SteamPunk Magazine #1
• “Unbound Muscle” in SteamPunk Magazine #2
• “Antonio’s Answer” in SteamPunk Magazine #4

Other, non-fiction work by The Catastrophone Orchestra has appeared in the freely downloadable SteamPunk Magazine as well as on a no-longer-updated LiveJournal page.

Professor Calamity from The Catastrophone Orchestra was interviewed about anarchism and fiction in Mythmakers and Lawbreakers.
