Their last venture to Edinburgh in 2008 was a gloriously chaotic, debris-strewn, beautifully told Chronicles of a Sleepless Moon. This year they are back with The Ballad of Backbone Joe - a 'whisky-soaked tale of murder and deceit'. But what did Suitcase Royale pack in their, erm, suitcase?

"We have three suitcases that we are bringing to Edinburgh. One suitcase turns into a double bass. One suitcase turns into a bass drum and one suitcase converts into a three-bedroom flat that we charge three times the amount of normal monthly rent for.

"The contents of these three suitcases are:
• 200 copies of The Suitcase Royale debut album
• 1 sheep skull
• 3 pairs of boxing mitts
• 1 red dress
• A whole lot of whiskey
• Glen’s DVD copy of “Samba” (Latin-American daily workout routine)
• A heap of unpaid parking fines
• A lot of UK/Aus power converters
• 15 electrical leads
• Actual human hand
• 15 copies of The Suitcase Royale television pilot
• 1 remix of 50 Cent: Get Rich or Die Tryin'
• 1 original copy of 50 Cent: Get Rich or Die Tryin'
• Ham"

The Suitcase Royale's The Ballad of Backbone Joe is on at 2.35pm at the Pleasance Courtyard, click here for booking.
