Anyone else familiar with Abney Park? Ahah -- we just got two new to us CDs ...

They gave us some great driving music on the weekend; in particular during the rather iffy trip home from Old Orchard Beach when "possible snow showers" became a near-white out three hour drive from Saco to East Winslow. They're Sharon's favorite contemporary musicians, and they'll be sort of in our neck of the woods this fall. I hesitate to tell you what kind of music they play -- they cross so many genres with so many ideas that there's no way to tie them down. Our plan is to see them when they're close to us, just about a month after worldcon.

They're awesome, and truly do manage to catch the "steampunk" aesthetic.
Which is not to be confused with Gin and engine lube, the steampunk anaesthetic.

The name was so familiar, but it took me a second to remember where I've seen them. I saw them linked from a garb site when I was looking for a Victorian corset for my steampunk outfit . Pretty sure the ladies were wearing the corsetmaker's wares, but I can't remember which site it was...

Thanks for the new music lead. Will definitely locate some of their CDs.

May I recommend The Imagined Village? Especially their first one. Excellent versions of the "John Barleycorn" and "Cold Haily Rainy Night".

for some reason they remind me of Gogol Bordello.
