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.

  • Klaude here. I've had it up to my lunatic fringe with all the nonsense I've had to tolerate from my sister. I'm so sorry to leave you all this way, but I'm through. I can't take it anymore. I'm done, I'm out, I'm flying away. She can post the audio to the podcast or not, who cares? I'm getting in Time Out with my bees and I'm flying as far away from her as I can. Bollocks to this. I promised I'd post our last playlist. Now I'm finished. Best to you all. Please don't hold it against me.

    added by Emmett Lovely! I present my little sister, everybody! I'm finished with all this nonsense too. Good riddance to clumsy, unreliable rubbish. I hope you can remember the better times of the show, but right now all I can think about is wanting to blast her airship out of the sky. I'm sorry it had to end like this. Another disastrous incident in my disastrous life.

  • This site uses Flash Player 10
  • During the testing phase of the 'Klaudamated Slapamaphone', poor Klaude was slapped back hard enough that it caused her to be laid up for a few days. So, Emmett is left to handle the show by herself. But, not to fear, dear listeners, all this means is that the 'Steamo' contest has been postponed for one week, giving all you Mr & Miss Pokeys a chance to get in your submissions.

  • Thanks to a listeners suggestion the sisters run a contest to make name a Steampunk/Emo (now dubbed Steamo) band. Is this a good thing? The sisters aren't quite sure but it certainly makes them laugh.
