We get asked this quite a bit! A lot of folks from out of town or who make the zoo a summer ritual are curious if we’ll be returning for a third year at the San Diego Zoo.



While we’ve enjoyed our summers performing at the zoo, this year we made commitments to a number of conventions and events we had to turn down for the last two years. We did try to negotiate being able to do both, but even then, the zoo is focusing on the new Australian exhibit and they wanted us to change our name to “Steam Powered Kangaroo” and adopt an Australian theme. But as you can probably tell, that was a bit of a stretch to fit into their vision.



Still, please enjoy Nighttime Zoo this summer with your family- the new exhibit and the acts lined up promise to be entertaining! And of course our drummer Matt Smith will be performing certain nights with The Surfin’ Safari Bush Band!



We’ll definitely miss the fun we had at the zoo, but the trade off is that we get to go to Anime Midwest in Chicago July 5-7, perform during Comic-Con July 18th (With a very special guest we’ll announce soon), attend VidCon in Anaheim August 1st, and go to Meta Con in Minneapolis August 30 - September 2nd.



But those events aren’t the only thing this summer allows us to do. Some of you are aware of how much work is going on behind-the-scenes with the Engineer-eteer program, and construction on the act has never been so intense. This summer is the culmination of our efforts which will lead to the release of Album 3 and some exciting evolutions of the show itself.



We hope you’ll join us for Comic-Con in San Diego, as we’re going to be putting on the best Steampunk show we can muster. And if we don’t see you this summer elsewhere, keep an eye on our calendar! There’s a lot of live shows yet to come!
