Unextraordinary Gentlemen - Mr.Soot's Black Book

[AhcriSlate]

It's weird but I hear more instruments than the ones they're playing

[Novadrome]

@AhcriSlate In case you're not kidding, we only have a bass guitar and a violin as live instruments with the rest of the music arranged by Richard and played by a "cleverly" hidden laptop. This is a style choice for travel convenience. Eventually, we'd love to put on a big ol' show with a bevy of real instruments but, for now, this stripped down big sound is exactly what we want to share.

@eridaniblack (and everyone) yep there is but usually there is just an album cover and no music vid

Great stuff, full steam ahead!!

I will openly admit that this band is the least worst of the "steampunk" I've heard today.

[cptnwilliamread]

Where is the droning coming from, and why is it tuned to sound like a tubea, shy not use a real tuba. This band is recommended as "steampunk" and thus far I am disappointed by the genre as a whole. The Victorian age was terrible and a step back WHILE holding everything back. Boo I say to you sirs.

@cptnwilliamread listen to Liaisons Dangereuses, they have some nice songs that I think go better with the whole concept, specially Los Niños en el Parque (That's the name of the song)

@cptnwilliamread I don't see why the "alternate extrapolation," idea has to only apply to the Victorian era. I'd agree with you that it would probably be more interesting applied to other periods.

Gotta love steampunk <3

Can someone please put up a non-live video?

[llllllPrayllllll]

Steampunk's awsome but alot of people asume its a music genre, it wasn't originaly but some good steampunk bands are starting to pop up =)

[eridaniblack]

Does anyone know if there are any non-live videos on youtube? I hate watching live performance videos...the sound is so shitty.

[0marianlibrarian]

This is cool. I looked up steampunk to learn more about the history, and was surprised to learn there are steampunk bands. I checked a bunch out, but this is the only one that sounds really unique, like a new genre of music. Awesome!

[evilmick66]

Good sound.

The singer sounds like Jello Biafra from Dead Kennedys lol.

[Bellalisa]

I was kinda thinking that too

[DraculinaXIII]

Nothing but mad, fierce love for you guys. So much so that I've been considering making a trip all the way from Chi-town to see you play!

[StopPETA]

Loooove you guys, so fucking talented.

GET SIGNED QUICK!

<3

[Sethsia]

[faeprince]

Wonderful steamy madness!

[whiteasaghost]

Cool, I Love it!
