Abney Park - The Derelict(Acoustic)

[Vortex289]

The chick doesn't know the lyrics? Weird. Like them though.

[BondoFox]

Where was this done? Looks as if it was a school assembly.

LOVE the song!

[Wheeliecoolgirl]

This. Is. Awesome.

[burntheholy]

This song is actually called The Derelict

[walterhisownself]

The instruments were acoustic steel 6-string guitar, accordion, mandolin, keyboards, and one (of those Scottish style, I think) drums that looks like a big tambourine. This was at Dragon*Con 2008 and I was in the audience sitting near the camera operator.

[commanderplyers]

@walterhisownself the drum is a bodran (pronounced Boh-ran) and i beleive is from ireland

[Doribi117]

it is a Mandolin that he is playing...I think, but I love this song and I am a big fan of the band and it's music.

[VampiresadventureII]

usually all Pirates are cool :D

[leetmsifan]

why is the rum always gone

[Grojak]

@leetmsifan Cos I always get there first. :P

[zip891]

very nice!

*dance*

[xarealpersonx]

Is that a lute or mandolin?

[PDXOutsider]

Could be a zither.

[LindzLovesYou]

I think it's a Lute. :P

[xarealpersonx]

Love these airship pirates!

[xarealpersonx]

a lute? A FUCKING LUTE! awesome

[cosmoline626]

How did I not know about these guys before today...? The clothes, the beautiful sound, the style... why are they not more well known?!

[mecampbellesq]

@cosmoline626

Why are they not more well-known? Because they've released their music independently from the start, and continue to do so. Capt. Robert tells a story about the time a guy from a record label wanted to sign them. Robert asked up front: "how will our signing with you get us more sales to justify your cut?" The rep acted like roger slapped his mother...

[secretagentmann9]

@mecampbellesq really? thats friggin' awesome! I suddenly have the urge to enlist on the HMS Ophelia...

[tom210493]

@cosmoline626 because they're incredibly weird

[deadlybelladonna]

Oh see /now/ I get into the band! XD I was there! But not... at the concert. =c Hope they come back this year! If they do, I'm so going to see them.

[HannahsVideos36]

Is he seriously playing that accordion?! OMG, that's amazing.

[CoyoteWalker]

i wish there was a better quality of this... :(

[RobingdfelowsLady]

[oniyagi]

Sadly, I was still nursing a hang-over at this point and missed it :(

[RossKilgariff]
