| | NEW TO FROLICON!!! Gypsy Celtic Cabaret w/ tribal and punk elements and an undercurrent of the mystickal. "A dynamic amalgamation of on-stage chemistry, energy and musicality," New York duo, The Gypsy Nomads, also affectionately known as Frenchy and the Punk, channel the spirit of the gypsy sound, lacing it with a cabaret, celtic and neo-medieval flavor rooted in punk, folk and the vineyards of southern France. From raucous, danceable old-world melodies with cheeky stories sung in english and french, to pounding, tribal-march-style drum instrumentals, this creative duo's quirky and captivating show brings the songs from their three full-length albums to life in a percussive, provocative and theatrical way. The duo features French-born Brit. Samantha Stephenson, whose vocals have been likened to a cross between Siouxsie Sioux and Edith Piaf and veteran of the punk scene Scott Helland on guitar. Helland's innovative live looping technique coupled with Stephenson's animated percussion produces a sound that makes it hard to believe there are only two people on stage. "The songs are catchy and the music is addictive, perfect therapy for a world gone mad." The Gypsy Nomads have been touring incessantly since 2005 bringing their pulse-poundin' tribute to the free spirit lifestyle to festivals that feature the fantastical and mystickal with stilt walkers, jugglers and fire throwers, as well as steampunk/sci-fi/cabaret conventions all over North America. Their 4th full- length CD, Happy Madness, hits in 2010. www.thegypsynomads.com | Saturday | 10:30 - 11:30pm | Frankfurt |

| | A lawman, a time-traveler, a gentleman explorer, and a mad genius join forces to unite the twin forces of scientific romance and rock in an explosive concoction of aural delights. Take a dimension-spanning musical journey with Atlanta's own analog steampunk band, The Extraordinary Contraptions. Ranging from silly love songs through dark, seething explorations of power to their characters' own epically orchestrated tales of victorian-influenced sci-fi, this quartet of aural anachronisms will roll up their shirtsleeves, bustle their petticoats and crank the temporal bi-resonator to eleven to put on the best show in this time stream or any other. No electricity? No worries, darlings. The Contraptions are equally renowned for their unplugged performances. Their acoustic instruments are rumored to go to twelve! Veterans of Momocon and Anachrocon, receiving regular play on The Clockwork Cabaret radio show and poised to Michigan's first World Steam Expo alight this summer, the Contraptions spent the past year (as measured linearly) splitting their efforts between performing in support of their debut album, Inappropriate on Purpose, and producing their followup release, Scratch The Aether, now available. On both records, The Extraordinary Contraptions strive to combine the rock & roll aesthetic and the steampunk DIY ethic to produce their own quirky, guitar-driven vision of the retro-future. | Thursday | During the Pantaloons and Corset Ball | Frankfurt |
| | Dress in your Victorian and Steampunk finest and come promenade the night away! Music by the Extraordinary Contraptions as well as a magical music maker! Expect contests and prize! | Thursday | 10:30 - 1:30am | Frankfurt |
