Yes, Virginia, there really is a show devoted exclusively to that elusive ODD-itory genre known as “Steampunk Music.”
To paraphrase some of the verbiage from their website http://www.clockworkcabaret.com says:
“The Clockwork Cabaret is a weekly radio show hosted by the darling Davenport sisters, Emmett & Klaude, on WCOM 103.5 FM-LP in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, NC, every Monday at 11pm. And, you can call in to the show via the telephone at 919.929.9601.
The sisters play the “Music o’ Gears” for Steampunk ears, an anachronistic style of music that will make you long for the days gone by. A wide assortment of jazz, blues, goth, folk, swing, gypsy punk, dark cabaret, classical and other related genres.”
(I might add that they have even had the excellent taste to play “Vampire Surprise,” by MADemoiselle Veronique on their Halloween Programme, entitled “Episode 92: Screaming Banshees of Halloween (aka It’s Spooktacular).”
