ABNEY PARK
SUNDAY DRIVER
PROFESSOR ELEMENTAL

On Thursday August 23 at London's Scala, White Mischief is proud to host a Steampunk Concert. Genre-definers Abney Park headline with their only London show. Supported by full sets from chap-hop super flyweight Professor Elemental and steampunk fusion band Sunday Driver, this evening is focused on the music alone and will finish in time for last trains home. Unlike White Mischief weekend club nights those aged 16 to 18 are welcome to attend (please contact us in advance to arrange this).

A small number of £9.99 earlybird tickets are still available from https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/222073

Post-apocalyptic aeronauts of questionable morals, ABNEY PARK http://abneypark.com]([url]http://abneypark.com)[/url] - bring clockwork guitars, belly dancers, flintlock bassists, middle-eastern percussion and violent violin creating their unique blend of world and dance music. Corsets and cummerbunds ahoy! Abney Park'll go down with Tesla-powered keyboards blazing in one riotous dervish of a performance. New album Ancient World will be released later this year.

SUNDAY DRIVER http://sundaydriver.co.uk]([url]http://sundaydriver.co.uk)[/url] - combine a steampunk visual aesthetic with exotic and fantastical soundscapes incorporating asian elements alongside instruments such as harp and clarinet. Described by author Robert Rankin as "one of my very favourites", by Sepiachord as "quietly surreal" and by the Steampunk Workshop as a "real, honest to god, talented ensemble", Sunday Driver's music has been played on BBC Radio 6, Radio 4 and the Asian Network. Their new album "The Mutiny" is released this April with video The Concubine Waltz online on YouTube.

Pillar of the tea-drinking community and sporter of fighting trousers, PROFESSOR ELEMENTAL http://www.professorelemental.com/fr_home.cfm]([url]http://www.professorelemental.com/fr_home.cfm)[/url] - introduces hiphop to steampunk, creating his own inimitable blend of chap-hop. Imagine, if you will, a cross between Sherlock Holmes, Flight of the Conchords, Jay-Z, a cream tea and a badger in a hat - quite something, eh?

This probably breaks the rules somehow, but it's 3 am and I'm sure another mod will notice soon. Have a lovely day.

[Mr. Roostwick]

I'm still interested in meeting up with people before, during or after the concert, if anyone is interested in meeting a friendly Canadian Steampunk   Send me a PM if so!
