*This show was performed in the WWU Art Gallery, a very echo-y room, and the audio quality is mediocre at best.

^The Buffalo Jam is a brief fragment from a longer performance at the Wild Buffalo in Bellingham, WA on 2010-02-20. The full performance was recorded on a computer, but at some point was lost. This fragment was recorded on a cell phone and the audio quality is poor. The video is on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr5j4z3Oap8

Future Manâ€™s Circus of Delusions was an improvisational group led by Future Man (from Bellingham, not the more famous Future Man) that played semi-regularly from 2006-2007 with a few one-off shows 2008-2010. Future Man led the group, performing processed vocals and directing the improvisation via cue cards and hand signals. The group was originally a trio with Future Man, Kuwanger Mandrill (Chris Stainback) on bass, and Jargon A. Lunch on drums (Future Man gave everyone their monikers). Todd Smith joined up in early 2007 on prepared guitar under the moniker Velcro Merkin. Though this was the core group originally, often times different musicians were invited to play with the group on stage. Very little music was taped, and only one show from the original lineup (2007-06-23) was documented.
