The Clockwork Cabaret
The Clockwork Cabaret is a weekly radio show hosted by the darling Davenport sisters, Emmett and Klaude, on WCOM 103.5 FM-LP in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, NC, every Monday at 11pm. And, you can call in to the show via the telephone at 919.929.9601.

We play the "Music o' Gears", an anachronistic style of music that will make you long for the days gone by. A wide assortment of jazz, blues, goth, folk, swing, gypsy punk, dark cabaret, steampunk, classical and other related genres.

So, pour yourself a glass of port or a nice cup of tea and give us a listen.

  • This site uses Flash Player 10
  • The Davenport sisters and Phineas enjoy an evening in each other's company. A new postcard in the increasingly disasterous life of the Klaude-o-tron is read alud, new music releases are discussed and future travel plans are bandied about. Oddly, without any attempt to do so, Emmett manages to play three songs that begin with train noises, and Klaude wonders if it's not a sign to stay away from trains for awhile.
