Read today's comic, immediately Googled SFCRA because my hearts all twitterpated at the idea of a steam punk band only to learn that they don't exist. Crying ensues. And I'm not the only one, apparently lots of folks are salivating for a steam punk band and are sorely disappointed. Someone should get on this ASAP!

I too was terribly disappointed. I can't wait for someone to take initiative.
-
Just inventing the instruments would cost an arm and a leg :lol:
imagine a steam powered guitar amp! *drewl*
-
Some of the interments already exist. A calliope would be essential, as would a theremin.
-
For steampunk bands, check out Abney Park or Vernian Process
-
I'm not the biggest fan of steampunk stuff, but I was epically stoked to not only find out what the fuck a melodithurge is, but also to see one play a "totally bitchin' steam-whistle solo."
My dreams were shot down on both accounts.
-
I must say that i created an account after also Googling Society for Creative Rock Anachronism....
Disappointing.
But, i have always been interested in steampunk-ing things, including my guitar. But Ibanez already offers some pretty cool ones.
This would be an amazing thing.
-
Yeah, steampunk bands are not exactly what you could expect, but its a start.
-
Oh man, what a huge disappointment. I was really exited for a second. If i had an ounce of musical talent i would start a steampunk band.
-
This looks like am awesome job for my awesome band, "Barbeque at the Laser Factory!"
-
I was actually more surprised that SCRA didn't stand for Smif College Resident Advisor, like Marten had gotten a free shirt from somewhere around campus.
-
I, too, immediately looked it up, and simply found a random posting somewhere where others aired their nameless grievance.
That would be the most awesome thing evar.
-
Are there any groups actually tring to make this a reality? I have a degree in engineering and 6 years of training across three instruments (piano, guitar, drums)...I'm in the Washington Baltimore area, if anyone is interested...

You might want to check out something along a more dystopian nature. Dr Steel

Any steampunk band MUST have a Stroh violin. (http://strohviolin.com/view_product.php?product=STR6407K2)
MUST.

The title of the comic is "Like a Warlock, only he summons Organs."
Also, "Okay, so, according to wiktionary:
Melody - tune, sequence of notes that makes up a musical phrase.
(http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/melody)
Theurge - one who works miracles, or persuades a god or spirit to perform supernatural work.
(http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/theurge)
Melodithurge - one who works miracles with a tune, or channels an unearthly ability to do so."
So effectively, the lead guitarist, but instead of a guitar, a steam whistle.

Thought everyone might be have a slight interest in this
