Re: Music

The video below is a music video created/directed by Christopher Alender for a song by Ben Lovett.  It has been incredibly well-received by many within the steampunk community, and with good reason.  Check it out!

Re: Music

I see your video and raise you a song by the band that put the punk into Steampunk... The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing.  This band not only talk the talk but walk the walk as well.  In 2009 they were the first band to release a record on wax cylinder since 1922.  They had to include instructions on how to make a device to play it.

I would be remiss if I didn't point everyone towards Abney Park: http://www.youtube.com/results...=Abney+Park&aq=f

Re: Music

Abney Park always makes me think of a marvellous Victorian Cemetary in Stoke Newington (North London).  Probably because the cemetary is also called Abney Park.

Re: Music

and  I feel obligated to let everyone know, Abney Park has a marvelous new album out called End of Days. I have acquired it, quite amazing. Also a good band, though I've been able to find little music to have in my music collection, Clockwork Quartet is very good as well! I'm constantly researching for more bands..when I find 'em I will share 'em with you all!

I hope this works for our colleagues in the colonies...

The New York Dolls are not by any stretch of the imagination a steampunk band, but this video for "Fool for You Baby" has a definite steampunk feel, not least because it seems to have been filmed in the nineteenth century tunnels under Waterloo station, London - part of the long abandoned Necropolis Railway, which was built solely to carry corpses from central London to a cemetery some miles to the South.
