BIO:
Abney Park comes from an era that never was, but one that we wish had been. An era where airships waged war in the skies, and corsets and cummerbunds were proper adventuring attire. They’ve picked up their bad musical habits, scoundrelous musicians, and anachronistically hybridized instruments from dozens of locations and eras that they have visited in their travels and thrown them into one riotous dervish of a performance. Expect clockwork guitars, belly dancers, flintlock bassists, middleastern percussion, violent violin, and Tesla powered keyboards blazing in a post- apocalyptic, swashbuckling, Steampunk musical mayhem.
This is likely to be the most beautiful show Abney Park will ever play,
and we are playing all night long. If you only go to one Abney Park
show in your life, it should be this one. Memorial Day Weekend.
I JUST got off the phone with the musical director, and its offical:
Abney Park Will be performing at this years Dragon*Con

I love you guys, lol. Sorry I can't come to your Edison show. It sounds awesome but its on Fanime Weekend D=. I was the guy who hugged you at the Maker's Faire, by the way.
Good times at the faire- it was a pleasure to meet you. Looking forward to the next time, and do let us know when you're coming to the northeast so proper hospitality can be prepared.
Thanks again for the awesome show in San Mateo! You guys made the whole faire! Hope to catch you again at the Edison -- Robert, think you really sold the crowd and on that venue.
