I always think of Abney Park when I think of steampunk bands.

I always find it kind of weird when folks bag on others for their hobbies. Steampunk related articles were why I started reading Boing Boing.

I have always been a maker of sorts, building and creating things to suit my needs, and that's the nice thing about steampunk. There are folks that do that, and even for those that don't, there is a reverence given to creation for creation's sake.

It's that hands on making that attracted me. You can take away all the gears and goggles, and you are still left with a nice group of craftsmen/women that are doing great work.

Fark? bannination.com instead. Bacon and Clowns are superior, and has flavor.
