Description:
Some sketch I made for a steampunk-glam band called the Belleville Boilers. This was supposed to go with a cover of Sweet's Song, "Alexander Graham Bell" and a cover of Bowie's "Suffragette city" with the lyrics rewritten in victorian slang. Never got it off the ground, as I stopped making music.

Definitely got my head nodding here. I can see the connection with Sweet (what a great band they were) and Bowie. Really, really like the production on this, first rate pro sounding. A bit too short though.
Cheers

As I said, it's not finished. It sadly lacks a verse or two and some variety in the arrangements.
Thanks for listening.

I totally forgot about this cool tune of yours. The idea is really a good one and I sure wish you'd come out of retirement to further develop your steampunk industrial glam project.
I like this steady fast walking beat, the secret agent bassline, the guitars and your concept of HG Wells and T-Rex rocking the 1898 World Fair with their steam driven synthesizers.

I had forgotten about this as well, but I had it in my head these last few days; It's like a spirit asking to be decently buried, so I posted it to give it sepulture.
Great show at the 1898 world fair. Tesla was doing the lightshow.

I hope you DO finish this,
and I want to hear that Bowie cover!
cjdaley
I want to hear it too, but I bet the original will be better.

Hey I love this man! This took me right back to those tiny, dark punk clubs in the 80's where nobody knew how to dance, just spin and bounce off of each other. Supercollider punk!

You're a visionary. Love the nasty guitar with the keyboards -you gotta finish this!

clever, unfnished or not.Beats the ass out of these retrobands that really have nothing on their pocket.
Why did you stop?

I ran out of steam, I guess. Actually, I could not find a decent vocal line for the verse.
