How many tons does your rock band weigh? That is something of a concern when the band Compressor Head goes on tour, since they mass somewhere around the value of several average automobiles. Not a group you would want to share an overseas flight with, unless you had your own separate escape sequence in case of emergencies. Stickboy does the drums, using 4 arms, 2 legs, 1 head, and no brain (the latter is something of a tradition amongst drummers), while Fingers brings 78 purpose built digits to the lead guitar. There are several other bots in the band, and I am really hoping to get to see them play live some time soon (for several nonstandard values of the term “Live”)

I have two favorite Steampunk bands, and one of them is Professor Elemental, so I just had to share his hysterical new song, I’m British. And because I could, I then also re-posted Fighting Trousers, probably my favorite video from him. Steampunk Rap is also called Chap Hop, and these tunes should give you an idea why. Enjoy!

Sure, and this week we have some fun Mystery J-Rock. I am completely clueless on who does the first track or what it is called, since I only saw squiggles on the page, but I like it a lot. The second one is by Plenty, kind of a J-Grunge band with some interesting music. The third is the Genki Rockets song Touch Me from their second album.
