We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 14, 2012.

Photo-main

Abney Park + 10 bands + aerialists + fire + vendors + costumes + dancing = a Steampunk music festival @ Craneway Pavilion!

***If you want to keep track of this project outside of Kickstarter, you can join us on Facebook and Twitter!***

Ladies and gentlemen, we're fully funded!!! BUT, we're not stopping there. If we can raise $4,000 then we can have ferries taking people between San Francisco and the venue! That's right, we're looking to have a Steampunk festival which you can travel to and from by BOAT! 

And, for an extra $1,000 we'll add in a second boat—from San Jose! A thousand beyond that and we can start announcing confirmation of more national level bands.

Heck, if we raise enough, we'll put bands on the boats!!!

But, I hear you asking, "Who are you?" So, now for our story....

Swing Goth has been hosting events for over five years now. In that time, we've brought you:

We've been named Best of the Bay, and have been honored with over 20 picks of the week and features. Just recently, we put on all of the nighttime events at Clockwork Alchemy!

Now, we're looking to go to the next level: namely, a music festival in Craneway Pavilion, a venue that can easily hold several thousand people, and we're hoping you can find it in your heart to help us bring this music festival from another time into our future! 

We want to have:

  • two stages
  • over ten bands, including national and local stars
  • a vendor area
  • belly dancers
  • aerialists
  • fire dancers
  • AND a raised dance floor for partner dancing!

We're already talking to the musicians and are proud to announce that this show will feature at least 10 bands, including:

  • ABNEY PARK
  • Vernian Process
  • 5 Cent Coffee
  • Blue Rabbit
  • and Vagabondage

We'll be able to announce more of the line-up as soon as we see how well the Kickstarter is doing, so if you want this to happen, donate today! The sooner the better, because the faster we get this funded, the more bands we can reach out to!

Also, make sure to share with your friends and feel free to check out our website (going live soon) or email us (steamstocksf@gmail.com) to sign up for our mailing list! Plus, don't forget, you can join us on Facebook and Twitter!
