We come from a world much like yours, but where the romance of discovery and adventure is still aflame. Electricity is still considered by many akin to witchcraft and the world thrums to the beat of iron, the hiss of steam and the click of clockwork. We write songs about Airships, Paddle Steamers, Satanic Nannies and Mermaid Queens with thoughtful prose and with infectious melodies. We are currently recording our debut Album Twelve Tall Tales... \nhttp://www.facebook.com/HailTheDarkDesign\nhttp://www.reverbnation.com/thedarkdesign\n\n\nSTEAMPUNKFUNK BIZARRE with Montague Jacques Fromage III\nInternational Purveyor of Victorian Funk, Rap and assorted lyrical conundrums\nNOMINATED in 2 Catagories: Steampunk Chronicle’s People Choice Awards 2013\nBest Solo Muscian and Person to Watch in 2013\nOften combining Victorian subject matter with a danceable funk backbeat, LMJ3/”Lord Monty” has created an entirely new Steampunk sound that offers a delicious confection of funk and soul interlaced with an occasional touch of Diesel. American pioneer/international performer of Steampunk Funk, the faux-Frenchman will be in MC and performance mode throughout the weekend.\nhttp://www.steampunkfunkbizarre.com/\nhttp://www.reverbnation.com/steampunkfunkbizarre\nhttp://numberonemusic.com/lmj3steampunkfunkbizarre\nhttps://www.facebook.com/montaguejacques.fromage\nhttps://www.facebook.com/steampunkfunkbizarre\n\n\nDaniel Malheur MonokelPop\nBerlin\nThe Lilly of the Valley, from New York to Europe, from the seniors to the Troubadour founder of MonokelPop ... Accompanied by the famous gramophone orchestra with its own special performance of 20s pop art. \nFrom a Crackly record sound, come famous dance orchestras, coupled with the warm tone of the Lord of mishap, they flatter themselves into the ears of the illustrious audience. \nIn his unique 78 rpm accompanied Karaoke Show , he kidnap’s his audience in the golden or not quite so golden 20's and the dawn of the talkies. Original gramophones, stylish accessories, breathtaking wardrobe changes and spontaneous comic repartee, make the charm of an evening with the Lord Saloon tenor \nFar from the "20s mainstream" , from. Spicy foxtrot, seductive tango, wicked songs, let the perfect illusion of the 5 oclock tea in the saloon style of the 20s rise.\nhttp://www.daniel-malheur.de/impressum.html\nhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Daniel-Malheur/180977376820\n\nTHE MYSTERIOUS FREAKSHOW \nAs a a more mature collective (ah hum) ... we have all had many musical adventures throughout the years and all work on other projects still. Miss Pinkski works closely with her producer KIKI in France to create wierd electronic wonders. The SteamPUNK Animal (aka Con Harries) is a multi-instrumentalist and our drummer. She plays trombone for the award winning SKA/reggae band Melosa and Skaper too. Phineas Gauge llives with his head in a bass amp listening to the heaviest & loudest of music and has a number of bands under his belt including The Toretz and The Two Hats - He is also 1 half of the anarchic radio show Revolutionary Radio. Mr Thomas Rosenbloom is another multi-instrumentalist who plays drums with Skaper and a number of other bands. This is his first venture into the world of guitar - and we welcome him with open arms!!!\nhttp://www.facebook.com/TheMysteriousFreakshow\nhttp://soundcloud.com/mysteriousfreakshow\n\nThe Ash Mandrake Act \nincorporates music, loop machines, stories and comedy. He designed the double necked guitar, hats and costumes. This is folk rock, but many styles are used. He has been described as imaginative; an incredibly skilled musician and songwriter; unique, brave, and completely naturalistic.\nMessage from Ash Let there be no pretences: I’m unsigned and I’ve built a tiny business from doing things that come naturally. I live on the road in vehicles and tour constantly. I started touring in 2008. I took three seats out of my Nissan Micra, put a futon in; and managed to do 137 gigs all over the UK, before driving it into the ground (I’m on vehicle number 5 now). I moved out of bricks and mortar in Feb 2012. This is the antithesis of X Factor. This approach involves putting one foot in front of the other; bare foot if necessary. If you really mean it, you’ll find shoes along the way.\n\n\nJezebel Steele\nMC and Burlesque Performances \nJezebel Steele is the inner performer of a mild mannered woman from Sheffield (although nobody would believe that), and anyway nowadays she lives on the other side of the Pennines.\nShe made her burlesque debut in 2010, and although she believes that it wasn't very good it did make her determined to improve and get back on stage again.\nHer style has never been described as graceful, but audiences seem to like her comedic take on burlesque and that's just how she likes it; "if an audience laughs in the first minute, you know you've got them on side".\nAfter realising that it's not easy to get stage time when you're new, she followed some good advice and set up her own night; for some reason, it turned out to be successful and she is currently working towards her ambition of "taking over the world... one tassel at a time!"\nShe teaches burlesque and organises other charity events, and just sometimes she can be found at her day job.\nhttp://www.facebook.com/jezebel.steele\n\nNeedle Poppets\nThe stripped sound delivers both power and intrigue, drawing inspiration from the likes of The Dresden Dolls, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Divine Comedy. Mixing theatre and punk, the music is risqué and often refuses to behave.\n\nThey have just released their debut album, Fame to the Nation, and are gigging around the Midlands and beyond - hopefully at a venue near you soon!\nfacebook.com/needlepoppets\nsoundcloud.com/needlepoppets\n\nThe King Bains\nDeep in the dank tangled shadows of the durge nebula our hope was born. When the rising dawn sun pressed her searing lips upon the fallen corkstone, and the wind set sail the sweet leaf of our stolen youth, the Leviathan was seen lurching from the depths with two warriors atop the mighty beast. Bathed in steam and fuelled by fuzz they wielded high their beacon to lead the charge.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/thekingbains\n\nRed Ruff\nRed Ruff are an acapella harmony trio. Expect a multi-coloured mix of songs about everything from cats to car engines Red Ruff are Jen Aitken, Sue Devine and Nansy Ferrett.\nWe write and perform our own three-part harmonies, covering tragedy to comedy, sublime to ridiculous, cats, and car parts. We made our debut public appearance at Wirksworth festival in 2011, and are now singing at venues & festivals all over the UK. \nwww.redruff.co.uk \nhttps://www.facebook.com/RedRuff\n\n\nThe Wattingers\nSlaughterhouse Steampunk Blues\nWith influences from :-\nNick Cave, Tom Waits, Gallon Drunk, Butthole Surfers, Jaw Hawkins, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Deliverance and general inbred backwoodsman dysfunctionalism\nwww.facebook.com/pages/The-Wattingers/190630510628\nhttps://the-wattingers.soundawesome.com/\n\n\nGladstone, \nNorthampton's finest Steampunk Rock\nThey are\nGordon "Spook" Stoker. Collector of Macabre stories and artefacts, undertaker to the restless dead. Singer of songs and teller of tales.\nPaul "Shovel hands" Hutchins. Professional pig wrestler.

Keeper of the fifth element. Polish Libertine, warrior for freedom and justice, mischief and a recluse on the run from the Okhrana.\nhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Gladstone/228685370476192\n\nBB BlackDog, \nThe Darker Side of Steampunk Rock, Comedy Mini Kit set, as well as Main Stage Appearance.\nA mix of German and English members, \nwith nearly 500 gigs, 5 albums worth of original songs, showcases in Hamburg, Berlin, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, London, Birmingham and tours across 2 continents, BB BlackDog have become a live Band not to miss. \nUsing no overdubs, playing simple catchy music, remaining fiercely independent, and powered by a rapidly growing, loyal band of supporters, BB BlackDog are different, and thats a good thing.\nhttp://www.facebook.com/bbblackdog\nhttp://www.youtube.com/bbblackdog\nhttp://www.bbblackdog.eu/\n\nBADAXE \nClassic Origional Accoustic rock n roll blues, Comedy punk rock which is comically obscene, like putting Roy chubby Brown with The Mac Lads! But it's all in good humor and just a laugh really. \nNo subject matter is safe from the recent Spate of High profile related convictions to Obama and His Lama.\nNot for the easily offended, you have been warned. \n\nDARK PATRICK\nPsychedelic/Noir/Experimental/Trip-hop. \nPowerful synth rhythms combine with the dark and gloomy sound of the hurdy-gurdy, the sweet crystal clear tone of the bandura and unusual vocals (in Ukrainian, Russian and English) that are sometimes sung, sometimes spoken, and other times chanted. Honest, inspired and experimental to the core, Dark Patrick’s songs explore themes of anti-fascism, feminism, anarchism, social injustice, exploitation, harsh realities & mental phenomena. The duet was formed in Kiev in 2008, since then they have produced 5 albums, performed on big and small stages in U.K, Ukraine and Russia and have carefully honed their own unique style that is hard to compare with anything else at all.\n\nThe Copperfield Ensemble Project \nA Steampunk collective of The Rake: Drustan Durman, The Dishonourable Reverend JD and The Rose: Madam Mel. They come with accompaniment from multi instrumentalists Tina Bennet and The Obligato string Quartet. \n‘This Okehampton based outfit described themselves as Neo-Victorian Steampunk and came dressed as the part. A string quartet, amazing vocals and percussion and a hauntingly mesmerising performance where dark cabaret meets theatre. ‘ BOTB 2014. \nThe Copperfield Ensemble Project’s live show is an imagining of Victorian music played today: a cross between Chamber Music and Music Hall, this is Classical music to sing along to. Every song and live show is an experimental journey, the experiment continues.\n\n\nDr. Therese Airheart’s Amazing Automaton Show.\nThe year is 1887. After decades of research, bringing run over hedgehogs and marmots back to life, an extensive analysis of the human anatomy through Operation’s ‘Cavity Sam’ and numerous studies with Tesla coils - quite a shocking experience - Dr. Therese Airheart has finally succeeded. She has invented and produced a fully functioning dancing automaton, the Juul Victoria 2.0. Incidentally, the esteemed Dr. has not yet been able to figure out the correct settings for the built-in free will module, so her invention proves to be quite a handful…\n\nConstance Bashford \nAlso present will be model Constance Bashford, Captain of Airship The Peregrine and an iconic figure in the European Steampunk scene.\n\nAlskaer\nReading: Steampunk & fashion\nHelene Smits (Alskaer)\nHelene Smits is a clothing designer (Alskaer) and photographer who specializes in fashion and making fashion. In her final thesis at the art academy AKV St. Joost, she did a research on nostalgia. The question of why we desire the past is for Helene a way to take a new look on steampunk.\nWith the reading “steampunk & fashion”; Will Helene take you on an inspiring journey about the influences of the Victorian age on the steampunk culture and on the contemporary fashion. It is a timetravel of looking forward and backward by the way we dress. \nLove to shine,\n\nBeatrice Flowers\nBeatrice is a Belly Dance teacher and performer from Nottingham, UK, now residing in Kuala Lumpur.\nA lifelong performer, she has studied many styles of dance including Ballet, Contemporary/Modern Dance, Classical Indian Dance, Butoh, Oriental Belly Dance, American Tribal Style (ATS), Tribal Fusion Belly Dance as well as other performance skills such as Fire Dance and Stilt Walking.\nAs a soloist she has performed all over the UK and beyond.\nIn 2009, Beatrice became Nottingham's first certified ATS teacher and following that she founded the Nottingham Tribal Belly Dance company, In 2013 she moved to Kuala Lumpur and set up KL Tribal, both of \nwhich are sister studios of Fat Chance Belly Dance, (San Francisco, CA)\n\nScarlet Butterfly\nSteampunk Faery is my fourth act that I’ve put together and because I started to get into steampunk about a year ago, I always had themed acts that were always fantasy or Faery inspired, so my three other acts are the Fire Faery, Art Deco Faery – which I recently showed at 1930’s Berlin Diaries – and then there’s my new act which I’ll tell you about later as I’m still working on it.\nOnce I’d developed the original idea, I started to think carefully about how I would create this steampunk Faery.
