If only I had some degree of natural musical ability, I would suggest forming The Clockwork Dog Do-Dah Band--a Steampunk tribute to the Bonzos.
And looking very relaxed, Jules Vern on vibes.
Surely it would be the Steaming Dog Do-dah Band? Oh perhaps not...... |

since the wonderful cold meat records was mentioned , i feel thier band "atrium carceri" evokes a wonderfully dark and steampunk-ish atmosphere....
Wow I have a hard time believing anything from the CMI group could be considered "fun" music lol. very true. |

Something is compelling me to mention "British Sea Power".
I agree. "Come go with me" and "Heavenly waters" as good examples. |

Anyone seen or heard these guys? Described as looking like something out of 'Deadwood' and sounding like Spike Jones meets Ennio Morricone! |

I can'y make myself believe that no one has posted this Fanmade Music video before, but just in case they haven't, here is a group called The Decemberists, playing their "Mariner's Revenge", coupled with scenes from a really ancient movie from (apparently ) a czech moviemaker, called The Amazing World (or Wonderful World?) of Jules Verne
[/spoiler] I found it in a random RealPlayer search for "Steampunk", but could only find it on YouTube just now when I looked for it; the RealPlayer bookmark didn't work. Hopefully the youtube link works, but I can't watch youtube (not sure why), so I can't tell if it works or not. I saw the movie itself 'way back when I was a little kid (about 7 or 8, I believe), when we lived in Denver, Colorado in the 60's; it was a regular summer late-night feature; they'd show it late (11:30 or 12:00 AM) about every 3 weeks or so. Then we moved back to Texas in '73, and I hadn't seen it since until last night when I found the FMV... |

Spike Jones and His City Slickers- check. Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band (including the Rutles)- check. Spaghetti Western Orchestra- check. And I've managed to see three out of the above four LIVE. Can you guess which is the odd one out?   |

O.k. Due, in part, to the numerous wonderful recommendations I've seen in this thread and sprinkled liberally around these Forums in general I now have music in my collection of around 75% of the bands in this 'spoiler' (below). I'm working towards hearing the other 25% on a daily basis. Say what you like about other aspects of MySpace but it's a wonderful place to check out music. Amazon have a great selection of downloads. It's a bloomin' great list of blimmin great bands. Growing all the time. These artists cover genres from Steampunk, Steamwave, the Sepiachord and Gilded Age rosters, Victoriana, Edwardiana, Gothic, Weillian, Brechtian, Carney, Circus, Folk, New Folk, Neo-Classical, Americana, Whizzband Jazz, Blues, old school Punk and New Wave...and lots of vintage and anachronistic sound.

Hi everyone! Don't want to go off-topic, but Ayreon has a really interesting (and varied) sound, not too heavy most of the time, interesting concepts with a great sense of adventure to them. Might be worth a listen if you're looking for something different. Also, fantastic album art and a really fun intro on this one
Just a thought. |

Dionysos - Tais Toi Mon CoeurFound them recently. The sound of this song isn't very steampunk-y it's more upbeat, but the lyrics, and music video are. The theme of the song is of a boy with a cukoo clock heart, and the video is very steampunkesque. Oh! Almost forgot to mention...It's in french. So it's a bit different but it still sounds good.  The album that is from is pretty hit or miss. Though I did enjoy about 3 or 4 tracks quite a bit. |

Hi all - Not exactly ' fun ' music, but certainly epic and dark - It's called Butterfly Man by Arena and has a nice sort of ' musical box ' keyboard thing happening at the beginning, give the platter a spin ! :
Another vote for the Bonzos - Viv Stanshall : Genius |

I have to agree, Clockwork Cabaret is rather good, but we can't leave them to do it all. Somebody needs to start writing "Good Heavens! Your eyebrows!" songs. Things with titles like "We haven't seen the cat since ..."
I would kill to see "Good heavens your eyebrows" in musical form. Any band with the audacity to do that are absolutely ingenious. |
