[Photos] Steampunk Exhibition at Kew Bridge Steam Museum

About a month ago we attended one of the weekends at The Greatest Steampunk Exhibition, taking place in the authentically steam age environs of Kew Bridge Steam Museum. Among the working steam engines were display cases of steampunk creations, while later in the afternoon there was a demonstration of Tea Duelling, followed by an impromptu 'fashion show' with attendees modelling their garb.

[Photos] Music for a Darkened Theatre @ The Cochrane Theatre, 2011 08 13

Last weekend Cryonica Music arranged a multi-band gothic music event at the Cochrane Theatre in London, before it closes next month. It was slightly strange being in an all-seater venue for a concert, but for quite a few of the bands it fitted well with their stage style, either with sparse staging matching the sparse arrangements of Black Light Ascension, or the theatrical setting working with Maleficent's flamboyant stage work. ZodiacYouth had notably changed style considerably since their early days, having moved away from psytrance to a more psychedelic rock style - very competent, but possibly not what some were expecting.
