Monty is THE international purveyor of Victorian Funk, Rap and assorted lyrical conundrums, American based and Steampunk Chronicles’ “Person to Watch/2013″ , he mixes Victorian subject matter with danceable funk backbeat.

Birthrite

Birthrite are from the Black Country, and do hard edged Steampunk. This is a fully electric band and this is a hard edged sound in the 21st Century with the exuberance and imagination of the 19th.

The Wattingers

Describing their sound as ‘Slaughterhouse Steampunk Blues’, The Wattingers lean towards the grimy underbelly of Western Steampunk. Their black sense of humour takes influences from Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Sante Sangre, El Topo, original Night of the Hunter, Cannibal The Musical, and The Child Ballads.

Miss Von Trapp

Murderously Quirky Dark Cello Cabaret: Morbidly Vaudeville Folk Songs, Cabaret Numb…ers and Performance Poetry to revolt and entertain… Putting the “fun” in “funeral”.

Inna Sketchi Manna – the outlandish cleaning ladies
