Abney Park (band)
Abney Park is a steampunk band based in Seattle. Their name comes from Abney Park Cemetery in London, England. Formerly a goth band, Abney Park have transformed their look and sound and have been called the "quintessential spokespeople for the steampunk subculture." History Early days Abney Park is the creative brainchild of Robert Brown, who formed the band in 1997 and continues to be the lead singer, principal songwriter, artistic director, and chief manager of the band. Brown released the first full-length album, ''Abney Park,'' in 1998, and in 1999 released '' Return to the Fire''. The band's third album, '' Cemetery Number 1,'' drew from their first two albums as well as introducing several new songs. These early albums pioneered steampunk themes prior to the band's adoption of the steampunk label with lyrics depicting clockwork boys and steam-powered dystopian cities (''The Change Cage'' and ''Twisted and Broken''). In 1998 the Tacoma-based counter culture magazin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Abney Park (band) Albums
Abney Park is in Stoke Newington, London, England. It is a park dating from just before 1700, named after Lady Abney, the wife of Sir Thomas Abney, Lord Mayor of London in 1700 and one of the first directors of the Bank of England and associated with Isaac Watts, who laid out an arboretum. In the early 18th century it was accessed via the frontages and gardens of two large mansions: her own manor house (Abney House) and Fleetwood House. Both fronted onto Church Street in what was then a quiet mainly Nonconformist (non-Anglican) village. In 1840, the grounds were turned into Abney Park Cemetery, where 200,000 people were buried. Since 1978, the grounds have served as a cemetery open only to burials in a few remaining paid-up plots; an enclosed woodland park and events venue open to the public managed by the London Borough of Hackney, and since 1993, as a Local Nature Reserve, too. Parkland In the early 18th century, Lady Abney laid out Abney Park after inheriting the Manor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
