The Contortions were a New York based band in the late 1970's that first appeared on a compilation produced by Brian Eno entitled No New York. For Off White, James Chance, a veteran of New York's avant-garde no wave scene, recast his seminal band the Contortions as a parody of a soul band, albeit one incorporating the rhythms of disco and funk rather than R&B.
