at The DoghouseDate: Fri 29th Sep Time: 19:00 The Steampunk Record Label tour, who will be heading to Nottinghams, Doghouse On September 29th the Steampunk Record Label will bombard their audience with their uniquely theatrical live shows. Drawing influences from cabaret, classical, punk and the exploding Steampunk scene, their live shows are a maelstrom of sonic and visual drama. The roster features some of the most exciting acts on the live music scene such as BB Blackdog, Feline and Strange and The Wattingers, all brought together through the vivacious compère, Jezebel Steele. Encouraging their fans to dress in similar Steampunk attire to themselves, this is the first glimpse of the Steampunk musical onslaught. BB Blackdog Headliners (and indeed, featuring the label head honcho) BB Blackdog has over 600 gigs, 76 original songs, showcases at everywhere from Berlin to Los Angeles to London and countless festival appearances, including, Bearded Theory, Sonic Rock Solstice, Whitby Goth festival, under their collective belt. BB BlackDog have become a live band not to miss - determinedly using no overdubs, they thrive on playing simple catchy music whilst remaining fiercely independent Feline and Strange Feline & Strange has embraced the Victorian/Futuristic fashion ethic and infused it into not only their appearance but also their sound. The alien troubadours, masquerading as dapper Berliners to human eyes, combine ear-chilling vocals with an electronic collapsible cello to deliver dizzying supernatural sounds and otherworldly goings-on. Having toured extensively around the world, including, inevitably, the Steampunk World Fair. Their latest album, Out, will be accompanied by a UK-exclusive box-set in September. The Wattingers Skeletal gutter-blues three-piece The Wattingers take their inspiration from the American Gothic simmer of films like Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Night of the Hunter; the surreal and oozing worlds of Alejandro Jodorowsky; and the unhinged brutality of bands like The Birthday Party and The Butthole Surfers, whilst retaining the wry humour of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins The Dark Design The Dark Design occupy a musical space somewhere between Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds and the Sisters of Mercy, combing rock-opera, theatre and murky secret societies, though that still tells only part of the story. Many of the Dark Design's members are actually fully-functioning automata including the self-propelled autoglock, and their robotic drum-kit. They also play a variety of weird and esoteric instruments including hurdy-gurdy and the tubitar – yep, that’s a hybrid of a guitar and a tuba. Victor and the Bully Stalwarts of the British Steampunk scene, Victor and the Bully bring their combination of cabaret, steam-swing goodness to the stage once again. Expect ukuleles, honkytonk pianos and a whole host of surprises. Montague Jacques Fromage Victorian dance music for the Cyber Age, anyone?
